Sold To My Alpha Mate

Chapter Forty five

Venom’s POV

“Okay, we know what to do. We’ll just keep moving.” I ordered the men with whom I was together on the road with. We had gotten lost on our way trying to find Maya and we couldn’t trace our way back.

It felt old with how it happened. Almost like a manipulation.

Elora never returned after that time I had gotten cameras to watch the house and it was later more than obvious that the one in the jail cell was a zombie. I declared her a fugitive and finding her would be her death anytime she re-appears.

We walked further for a little bit and it wasn’t like there was any form of civilization around us. The land was dead and empty and it was just us.

“Why don’t we camp here, sir? It’s late already.” A junior officer suggested.

I looked ahead to see if we could make any more progress by walking that morning, but it seemed too much. “Alright, call the me to order, we’re here till morning.” I told him.

There was a small jubilation and everyone decided they would start scouting the environment for what to eat and a tent to build.

I also did the same, but I was just really hopeful that if find Maya in the woods and that was why I continued to move after they had all chosen to rest.

Not so long after we had chosen our place of abode, thunder began to rumble in the sky. It was evident that there would be showers of rain at anytime soon.

I quickly gave up on the mini search I was conducting and called the attention of everyone. “Prepare yourselves! It’ll rain soon!” I commanded.

Survival skills was something we had all gotten a chance to learn and wasn’t a big deal for us. Everyone got to preparation and it seemed we would escape the whole rain by the time they finish. The only thing was that, the chances of our clothes getting wet was imminent.

The men who had been building the tents and shelter all along were done and had done something large and simple to trap everyone in. I also decided to stop moving around so I could stay back with them and rest as the rain would began to slowly pour on everyone.

From a slow pour to a rush on everyone’s body from all angle, the rain wasn’t going to stop anytime soon.

A division was created for them to start constructing another tent to size a number of people so everyone wouldn’t be congested in the same place.

I observed from where I was and I was impressed. At one point, I joined in so I wouldn’t continue to wallow in worrisome thoughts about Maya and bringing her back.

Late in the night and the rain had calmed, the water that poured earlier flooded around us and flowed down a particular spot. It was an ‘okay’ situation, we couldn’t complain.

I finally decided I would give myself a rest so I shut my eyes eye and slept.

I was the first to wake up in the morning, simply because I had been woken up by a nightmare of Maya being in trouble. After I woke up later, some guys began to wake up individually.

Soon after, we were all ready to continue our journeys and we did. It was a different problem afterwards, finding our way back and finding Maya.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Although, finding Maya was what we prioritized when we decided that we wouldn’t stop but continue on our path.

I heavily hoped to the gods that we would reach somewhere we could find Maya even if everything seemed gleam at the time and I wasn’t so sure of that happening.

We walked continuously for hours and just when it didn’t seem like we would be meeting with any living beings soon, we were at a market.

It was a really noisy one. “Perhaps, there’s a celebration going on here.”I muttered to myself.

” Everyone, keep your armors and weapons so they don’t see us as a threat. The remaining men should have the stick tents and provisions guarded back outside where they won’t be seen. We’ll progress inside to find out about these people.”

So, we continued and we tried greeting people to familiarize with them, but they barely payed attention to us or anything we said to them. Not until one of the warriors of the pack decided that he would just try to patronize them.

Fortunately for us, they spoke English. The market place and everything going on had me remembering what had happened with Elora and her son after he had chosen to help me, but even that story didn’t seem truthful anymore.

It was almost like it was just a front for something that I couldn’t pin my mind on and I was losing the main point. That would be a topic for another day, because I saw something that caught my eyesight in a weird way.

“Slaves?” The assistant whispered in my ear.

“Yeah, I’m just as surprised with what’s going on here. Let’s follow them.”

Together, the two of carefully traced the slaves and the armed men that were taking them out of the market. It was either that sales had ended or it was just starting.

We consistently followed the until we reached somewhere in the market. A little bit far from where the main business was, but the building was a mansion.

“That should be the house of their king or Alpha,” my assistant mentioned.

“It seems so.” I asserted.

“Are we following them in?” He asked.

“No, not yet. Let’s just wait till the man comes outside then we can try finding out things another way. He got my drift and we camped somewhere away from the mansion. Not so close to it and not to far, so we would be able to see whoever was going in and coming out of it.

My intuition gave me the feeling that we would be finding Maya at that spot, soon.
