My heart was racing as the price continued to increase.

I glanced over my shoulder at Stella and her friends who were gawking at the frenzy in front of them. Stella was red in the face and furious, but her mouth was hung open in shock. I turned back to the bid just as the auctioneer was speaking to another employee.

He then turned his attention to the bidders.

"Our VIP Anonymous buyer just called and purchased this piece for the high price of 50 million dollars. He's asked for us to continue raising the price, if necessary," the auctioneer announced.

I gasped at the sound of that, and I covered my mouth to stifle an alarmed scream. Disappointed murmurs erupted around the room.

Excitement slammed into me; I didn't even stop to wonder who this VIP was.

"And because she was reluctant to sell it," my wolf, Atlas, reminded me.

I ignored him.
