: Merida and Lukan Hades

To The Highest Bidder: Mated To Alpha Lukan Chapter 1 01: The Slave

MERIDA

" Meridaaaaa!!!"

Someone yelled my name from upstairs and I gave a silent groan as my head pounded not from the scream but from lack of sleep and hunger.

" Where is that ostrich called Merida?" The voice said again as I struggled to my feet and my stomach rumbled.

I didn't need a seer to tell me who it was. It was no other person but my Aunt Ophelia. I could hear her loud footsteps coming down the stairs.

Just as I tried to steady myself, I fell back on the box I had been sitting on.

" Goodness me." She gasped." I just hope I'm blind and not seeing you sitting like the mate to a powerful Alpha."she said to me. I opened my mouth to say something and only air poured out and, before I could blink, her hands flew through the air and made slices of slaps on my cheeks, sending me reeling backwards.

"What have you been doing here? You have been busy doing nothing, I guess." She said again to me and I kept mute.

Enough experience had told me that trying to defend myself would only get me into more trouble, so I stood there like a statue staring at her as she yelled at me.

"For the past 3 days I have been drumming this into your silly head that we are having guests, but instead all you, do ever since you woke up was to sit there staring into space."

I bowed my head and let my eyes gaze at my bony feet. It was my way of giving a silent apology.

"Didn't you hear when I said one of our guests is very important? In case you don't know, Alpha Lukan Hades will be here any moment from now and I don't want you to give this family a bad name because of your sluggishness when it comes to cleaning."

I raised my head up slowly.

Alpha Lukan Hades. A powerful and popular Alpha in all of the Western Wolfe Kingdom.

I already knew he was coming, but not this early.

I bent down and gathered the mop and the bucket as Aunt Ophelia ran into the kitchen and came back with a tray of wine flutes and a bottle of expensive wine.

"These are for the guests. You better not drink them," She said, pushing the tray into my hands.

She pushed me into the small room where our guest would be sitting and banged the door shut.

I placed the tray on one of the tables carefully and proceeded with my cleaning.

The room was as clean as anything and was even as sparkling as the sun and, for the umpteenth time, I wondered why I should be cleaning it.

Lying on one of the chairs was a magazine. I reached for it and tossed it away and proceeded with my cleaning thinking I had heard the soft thud of the magazine hitting the floor, but instead I heard someone clearing their throat.

I looked towards the direction and my breath hitched in my throat.

There, sitting at the far end holding a fat cigar in the other hand and sipping from a tumbler, was the most handsome man I had ever seen.

"Don't tell me your eyes were glued to your face for decorations?" He hissed and took another sip.

"I- I'm so sorry." I stuttered in a very small voice which was barely above a whisper.

"Didn't you see me, or you pretended not to?"he questioned, rising to his feet as he puffed out smoke from his lips before butting it.

I tried to speak, but my lips quivered, and my eyes fell down to my feet in fear.

"Answer me!" He roared, and I began to shiver and, instead, I shook my head.

"Then you could have felt my presence or even perceived my scent."

I shook my head numbly." I didn't feel your presence and...and I didn't perceive your scent." I managed to say, forcing the words out.

He cocked an eyebrow and with one long finger he lifted my face and stared at me while I tried to look away fearfully.

"What kind of wolf doesn't perceive a scent or don't you have one?"

"I have a wolf." I struggled to speak. I could feel his eyes roaming around my body and settled on a scar on my upper arm.

"What is this a kind of punishment or what?"

I nodded feebly.

"Speak to me and look at me when I'm talking to you, not at your feet."

I swallowed hard." Yes, it was a punishment to bind my wolf."

I could feel that the discussion was taking another direction. I quickly disengaged from his grasp.

I wanted to be done with everything Aunt Ophelia instructed before she finds me there.

So I turned around and picked up the tray, and I wasn't watching my steps. I felt myself bumping into him and the tray fell off my hands. The wine flute and bottle of wine broke into pieces, shattering the still air.

Just then the door burst open, and Aunt Ophelia stood there like she had seen the ghost of her grandparents.

" Gracious Moon goddess." She gasped, and she raced to slap me when Alpha Lukan's hands tightened on her wrist.

"If I were you I wouldn't do that."

She released her hands from his grasp forcefully and gave a thin smile.

" Go and call your uncle, get another drink and find something to clear this mess." She rattled orders at me.

" Aunt Ophelia asked me to call you, the Alpha is here." I said to Uncle Garrick who was in the living room. He dropped the remote and gave me a deadly look before pushing me out of the way.

I quickly brought another wine flute and a champagne and while I cleared the mess I could feel Alpha Lukan's gaze on me.

" She is your niece, I'm I correct."

" Yes," Aunt Ophelia said immediately.

" So why does she look like your slave?"

Aunt Ophelia and uncle Garrick exchanged shocked glances. This was the first time someone had openly challenged the way they were treating me and from the looks on their faces they hated it.

" She did something terribly wrong," Aunt Ophelia said after a brief moment.

" And what would that possibly be?" Alpha Lukan asked, quite angry.

Aunt Ophelia gave me a brief dirty look before she spoke up again.

"Ask her what happened 15 years ago."

For two years, I was the invisible force behind tech billionaire Kieran Douglas, convinced that our "private" romance was his way of protecting us from the tabloid spotlight. I managed his mergers, warmed his bed, and waited for a future that didn't exist. The illusion shattered at 6:00 AM when a Page Six alert debuted Kieran’s "real" romance with socialite Aspen Schneider. Before I could even process the betrayal, Kieran sent me a cold, professional text: "Order flowers for Aspen. Pink peonies. Her favorite." When I tried to walk away, my own mother called me a disgrace and threatened to lock my inheritance forever unless I married a sixty-year-old businessman to save her failing estate. At a high-society gala that same night, Aspen intentionally crushed my burned hand in front of the cameras, while Kieran stood by and dismissed me as a "mediocre assistant" who had overstayed her welcome. I stood in the cold New York rain, drenched in champagne and humiliation, realizing that every sacrifice I made for Kieran was a joke. I was a ghost in a penthouse that was never mine, discarded the moment his "soulmate" returned. To the world, I was just a placeholder whose time had run out. But Kieran forgot one thing: my father’s multi-million dollar trust fund unlocks the moment I legally marry. I didn't need love; I needed a signature and a shield. I walked into a discreet law firm and signed a marriage contract with a man I believed was the city’s most notorious, scandal-ridden playboy. I thought I was marrying a degenerate "beard" to buy my freedom and secure my revenge. I didn't realize the man who signed that paper wasn't a playboy at all, but Gaston Collins—the most powerful and dangerous man on Wall Street—and he had no intention of letting our fake marriage stay fake.

Phoenix Rising: The Scarred Heiress's Revenge

I lived as the "scarred ghost" of the Stephens penthouse, a wife kept in the shadows because my facial burns offended my billionaire husband’s aesthetic. For years, I endured Kason’s coldness and my family's abuse, a submissive puppet who believed she had nowhere else to go. The end came with a blue folder tossed onto my silk sheets. Kason’s mistress was back, and he wanted me out by sunset, offering a five-million-dollar "silence fee" to go hide my face in the countryside. The betrayal cut deep when I discovered my father had already traded my divorce for a corporate bailout. My step-sister mocked my "trashy" appearance at a high-end boutique, while the sales staff treated me like a common thief. At home, my father threatened to cut off my mother's life-saving medicine unless I crawled back to Kason to beg for a better deal. I was the girl who took the blame for a fire she didn't start, the wife who worshipped a man who never looked her in the eye, and the daughter used as a human bargaining chip. I was supposed to be broken, penniless, and desperate. But the woman who stood up wasn't the weak Elease Finch anymore; she was Phoenix, a tactical predator with a $500 million secret. I signed the divorce papers without a single tear, walked past my stunned husband, and wiped the Finch family's bank accounts clean with a few taps on my phone. "Your money is dirty," I told Kason with a cold smile. "I prefer clean hands." The cage is open, the hunt has begun, and I’m starting with the people who thought a scar made me weak.

Trigger/Content Warning: This story contains mature themes and explicit content intended for adult audiences(18+). Reader discretion is advised. It includes elements such as BDSM dynamics, explicit sexual content, toxic family relationships, occasional violence and strong language. This is not a fluffy romance. It is intense, raw and messy, and explores the darker side of desire. ***** "Take off your dress, Meadow." "Why?" "Because your ex is watching," he said, leaning back into his seat. "And I want him to see what he lost." ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger's offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring. Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel. He also suffers from a neurological condition-he can't feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch. Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed. She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience... revenge. But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything. Alaric doesn't share what's his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.
