Chapter 18 Plan Before the Bid

I suddenly heard a light knock on my door.

'Alpha Adrian, are you awake? It is me, Barber Jonathan.'

I went in front of the door and tried not to make much noise. The door had been locked by the guard. I replied in a whisper.

'Yes, I am.'

'Connor, your father's Beta sent me to inform you of the bid. Beta Morpheus from the Moon Valley Pack is Connor's friend. He asked him for a favor. He told him that you were his nephew, whose parents died during the big war. He asked Morpheus if his alpha would attend to the bid tomorrow. Morpheus informed him that his Alpha needs servants therefore he would be there. Connor told him that you were chosen to be sold as a servant. He asked him to buy you if it was possible for his Alpha. Morpheus said that he would be glad to buy you because you are his nephew. He also said that he would like to see you as his personal servant if possible. He said that's how he could pay off his debt to Connor.'

'Connor said that you must hide your identity, to not cause any trouble for Morpheus. You are introduced as his sister's son to Morpheus. He said that you were growing up with the other orphans in the Pack. After you settle into that Pack, Morpheus can come to visit you and you devise a plan for your revenge.'

"Did you hear me, Alpha Adrian?"

'Yes, I'm still trying to figure out how it will help me get away.' I said dryly.

'He knows that you will be still seen as a servant but at least you will be with good people. He will try to manage the situation after you are sold to Moon Valley Pack. We can only do this right now, time is too short, then we will devise another plan to get you to avenge you. He said that Morpheus is a good man, he will take care of you, but please behave like an omega. We know that it is very difficult for you, but you must obey.'

'Okay, okay, I'll do my best, just get me out of this hell.' I said.

'Jonathan, thank you and your daughter. During the two years, I spent in this dungeon, I was not allowed to communicate with anyone, you are the first to talk to me and notice me. Knowing that there are people who at least know me and respect me gives me hope.'

'Don't worry, you are not alone, you have many allies in this territory, we are waiting for the right time to show ourselves. Now I need to leave to not cause any trouble for you. Tomorrow after the bid I will try to contact you.'

'Be careful. I'll wait.' I said with hope in my heart. Then he left.

I lay on my bed.

'Demus did you hear him?' Demus did not respond, just silence.

Adrian's POV

I thought how Demus has right. I already spent many lonely days in the dungeon without hearing my wolf. If I had shifted to my wolf form now, I could have caused my Alpha aura to be released anytime and if anything anxious me during the bidding, I might not be able to not control it and that would have been a problem for all the alphas out there. I would be accepted as a threat. This causes my death.

NO, this was not an acceptable option. Ancient beast.

But still I want to be with it, I want to see it, how powerful is it?

But now, I do not have any chance to push the situation. My thoughts turned back to the conversation that I had with Jonathan.

If Morpheus was buying me for his alpha, how could I be his servant? I need to learn it. The offer will be very interesting for me. It will be online, we will be with the guards during the bidding. But Jake said that when it was our turn, we would all be shown on stage one by one. We will not be allowed to speak until something is asked. Why did my life have to be so complex? I did need to get my head together.

While I was thinking I drifted to sleep.
