Beneath Her Darkness: The Alpha's Little Demon / TAEKOOK

Chapter-6 Mr. A*shole

..........

TAEHYUNG

My eyes locked with the darkest blue eyes I had ever seen in my whole life and I felt my whole world stop spinning. His eyes were mesmerizing, and despite the frown on his face, he looked like a god, frowning at me, making my core throb all at once at the fierceness in his face.

“Move … “ A female hissed behind me, pushing me forward, and I just realized I had stopped dancing. I jolted out of my reverie, my eyes darting around the stage at the other females, trying to figure out where we were in the dance.

My heart was thudding loudly. I had never, in the life of me, lost focus, even in a time of danger, but seeing this man, in a split second, all my senses went out the window.

My cheeks burned, not out of embarrassment but because I didn’t like the way that the attention was all on me now since I was just standing, not knowing what part we were dancing to.

Until another Omega danced her way through me and took my hand, swaying it with her before she twirled me around, whispering softly in the air, but I could hear her loud and clear. “Just move around and dance … “

And I did.

Soon, I fell back into rhythm, but my eyes kept searching for the man, which made me lose my focus. But he was nowhere near where I saw him, and not anywhere in the audience seats.

I didn’t know if I was disappointed or relieved. At least he could not distract me anymore.

The crowd applauded, combined with hoots and whistles as the music stopped as we exited the stage and the host announced the bidding would start in a few minutes.

I was Omega Number 10.

Nine Omegas before me.

I didn’t really care who would buy me tonight. I was planning to escape anyway and move somewhere south, but seeing those eyes, I was wondering if he would bid for an Omega. Because I knew deep inside, I was hoping he would bid for me.

Maybe it wouldn’t be that bad.

The backstage was in complete chaos. And I just remained in one place, leaning my back against the wall as I tilted my head up to the ceiling before I closed my eyes,

I told Olivia that if the backstage was busy, no one might notice us and that we could escape. But she didn’t want to go with me. But now that she’s not part of this anymore, putting my actions into a plan shouldn’t be hard.

But part of me wanted to stay – for dark blue eyes.

“Come here!” My eyes snapped open when I heard Cora’s voice.

Her hand grabbed my wrist, pulling me somewhere until we reached a vanity table where my make-up was done earlier. She sat me on the chair and spoke with the female there. “Run another makeup on her, make sure this one is not visible.”

She was pointing at my jaw, making me check myself out in the mirror.

Oh, Goddess. A bruise was starting to show. And because I didn’t have a wolf and my demon power was suppressed, I would heal as humans do. Slow and painful.

I stayed still as the female worked on my face. All the while, I kept my ears open, trying to hear the events on the stage.

There were already four Omegas that were sold. And the fifth one came back to the backstage just now. A blanket was wrapped around her and she was crying hysterically.

The last number was not from Mr. Asshole because he cursed when it went on the screen.

“This is interesting. We’ve reached half a million. Do you want her to strip?” The speaker, who was nowhere, asked the crowd, and they all chanted yes.

500,000 – Force her to strip once more and I will blow your face.

Words were added to the 500, 000 bid on the screen, and I couldn’t stop a smile from gracing my lips. Whoever my bidder is, I think I liked him already.

The speaker didn’t say anything.

550,000

I think it’s the asshole. He was the only one who was still pressing his fingers on the tablet.

700,000

Please, Goddess, please. Don’t let the asshole bid more.

800,000 Shit!

1,000,000

My eyes widened at the exact moment a door opened on the second floor above the auditorium seat, directly in front of me. Someone came out, but it was too dark that I couldn’t see him, but my heart began thudding loudly.

Could he be part of the bidders or was he the organizer? The man crossed the open corridor and soon was gone from my sight.

“Who the fuck are you? Come on, give it to me!” Mr. Asshole sounded frustrated before he put out another bid.

1,050,000

Then there was nothing. My eyes watered as I looked at Mr. Asshole, who had a smug smirk on his face while he looked around trying to find the other bidder while the timer was ticking down.

30 seconds, and he would own me.

I was already making my plans on how to escape once I got back to the backstage when a sudden sound of footsteps on a carpeted floor reached my ears. Despite the noise around the auditorium, the footsteps sounded so clear.

My eyes tilted toward the direction of the footstep and I almost had my jaw drop open if I was not able to restrain myself. Dark Blue Eyes was approaching.
