Chapter 1the auction
Elena has forgotten the sound of her own name
The men at the market never called her by it anyways
To them she was a number
A price
A body waiting to be purchased
She stood barefoot on the cold wooden platform,her hands trembling as the crowd gathered below her,she kept her eyes lowered, terrified of meeting the gaze of the strangers who had come to decide what she was worth
Then the door to the auction hall opened
The room fell silent
Elena look up
A man stood in the doorway, dressed entirely in black
He didn't need introduction
Everyone in the room knew who he was
And the moment his cold eyes settled on Elena,she knew something was wrong
