The Barter Novel Sierra and Xavier

He walked past me, and when I looked back, he was standing there naked with his back to me; the shower was running, and the hot water pouring out of it made steam engulf the room.

He stepped under the shower, and my heart leapt in my chest.

I couldn’t look away.

How can a man be so beautiful from the outside yet evil from the inside?

Water poured on his jet–black silky hair, making them darker if possible.

He tilts his head up and runs his fingers through his hair, and I blink, staring at his countenance.

Razor sharp jawline, perfect straight nose, thick brows above those perfectly curled long eyelashes.

Water trails from his chin to his broad–muscled chest, and my mouth runs dry when I gawk at the contours of those perfect eight–pack of abs.

He is the epitome of virility.

My eyes were going to trail lower when a crude voice echoed in the bathroom walls, and I flinched.

“I bet no body wash can clean the filthy germs your touch left on my body.

”

“Get out and tell one of the maids to clean this bathroom.

The room stinks of your disgusting scent already.

”

Tears sting my eyes, hearing his words.

Yes, I was filthy, but whose fault it was? His pack members haven’t allowed me to wash in days; hell, they don’t even give me something to eat.

Struggling to pull my body out of the tub, I slip to have my elbow bruise against the marble.

Damn it.

Blood drips to taint the tub red, and I try to clean it with the sleeve of the shirt I was wearing.

Getting out, I storm out of the room without looking back.

Thankfully, it was early, and no one saw me like this.

Rushing up to the attic, I slam close the room and breathe.

heavily.

Sunlight fell on me through the window, and my freezing body welcomed it.

I looked at my state in the broken mirror, and more tears stung my eyes.

My eyes had dark circles under them, and my skin was pale and marred with mud and dried blood.

My wild hair was a tangled mess, and my cheekbones looked allow.

Approaching the mirror, I discard Dom’s shirt to see my body covered in cuts and bruises.

My naked feet were covered in mud, and they looked ugly.

I can see why he was so disgusted with me.

I would be disgusted with myself as well.

I don’t remember how long I continued to stay there.

A loud banging on my door had me jolt awake.

“Get out here, you filthy girl! Are you planning to die there? Who is going to wash the clothes and

I pull open the door and bow.

“I am sorry, madam Martha.

I will get to work immediately.

She was shocked.

Her mouth hangs open, and I walk past her with my head lowered.

Storming into the maid’s quarter, I pick

up the short maid outfit and change into it.

“She is still alive? I thought Alpha killed her.

”

“What a waste of fresh air.

“Why doesn’t she go and kill her?”

I ignore their words and rush out to begin my duty.

Taking the list of responsibilities from Martha, I was walking down the halls when suddenly I felt a hand muffling my scream, and I was pulled into a dark corner.

I try to scream for help, but the person only tightens his grip on

me.

“Princess Sierra.

What a cruel existence you have.

Why don’t you just give up? Huh?”

The person seethes, and all I see are Brown eyes through a black mask.

I thrash to no avail, he was stronger.

And that’s when I see him pulling out a syringe from his pocket.

“Surprise, surprise, what do I get here? I promise you that once it’s inside you, you will be relieved of all the pains in your life.

”

“We don’t have to see your disgusting face anywhere in our

pack anymore.

”

No.

I can’t die like this.

He moved the syringe closer to my neck, and at that second, it clicked.

My legs were free.

Pulling up my knee, I knock it on the place where the sun doesn’t shine.

His grip on me loosens, and I sprint from there.

Stumbling, I get up to run mindlessly.

Not knowing where I was going.

Tears left my eyes; my heart was thudding rapidly.

Moon.

goddess, why? Just give me a break already.

Why are you doing this to me?

I searched around desperately for someone, and before I knew it, my feet were taking me towards his office.

I look back to find the man right at my heel.

Oh, god, no!

I turn to my right, and that’s when I see him.

“Send me the details, Alpha Kane.

I will go through it once and let you know.

”

“Thank you so much, Alpha Xavier.

You don’t know how much it means to us.

In times like this, when no one is helping, your support means so much.

”

Hope ignites in my chest, and I open my lips to scream his

name.

“Xav-”

I couldn’t complete it, the man pressed his disgusting palm on my mouth and muffled my scream.

Xavier’s footsteps stop, and he turns around, but it is too late.

The man had me pinned behind the wall.

His masked face was the only thing I could see.

“Do you think your highness will save you?”

He chuckles wickedly, and my heart drops.

I know Xavier hates me, but he wouldn’t.

No, he can’t order to kill me.

“He is the one who ordered me to kill you bitch! Go die!”
