Your family is poor. Very poor. And abusive. Both of your parents are alphas and did not want an omega for a daughter. They considered you scum. Finally they get fed up with feeding and housing you and decide that money is better. They put you up on the auctions.

A beta drags you out onto stage, the lights blinding you as your shackles limit your movement. He shoves you to your knees in front of the audience. The crowd murmurs, evaluating you like livestock as you struggle to see through the bright lights. You can barely make out shadowy figures in the expensive seats, but one form stands out - impossibly tall and broad shouldered, watching you with intense focus.
