The Sanctuary, 2

The Sanctuary is my way out, a way to escape my father and the strangle hold he has on my life. I don’t want to be sold into a loveless marriage to help my father further his agenda and grow his wealth.

But standing in an empty room, waiting to meet the man who paid for the pleasure to strip me of my virginity, I know I have made a mistake. It is too late though. There isn’t a way for me to walk back what I have done so I will have to live with the consequences.

What I wasn’t expecting was to find the one man that wanted to free me from my father's hold, only to cage me in his own.

Be Warned: anal sex, forced seduction

 

Excerpt:

I stand in line, naked.

I watch as the first box is raised from beneath the stage, the small dark-haired woman tied to a wooden cross, her nudity on full display for the Alphas here to bid.

I fight every instinct to cross my arms over my breasts and hide myself. It won’t do me any good. I’m up next and already an older woman is helping me into a box of my own and tying me to a similar wooden cross.

Biting my lip, I fight back the tears already burning in my eyes. I have never been this mortified in my entire life. If I had known this was part of the auction, I would have rethought my position before signing that damn contract.

It was easy enough to give my bodyguard the slip, all I had to do was fake a female hygiene emergency and he went sprinting to the nearest pharmacy. I tipped the saleswoman and slipped out through the back door and into a waiting cab. Jenna never showed up because she wasn’t aware of our shopping trip.

I left my handbag, cell phone, and most of my jewelry in the changing room. I know my father has a way to track me, I just don’t know what it is. Hopefully, I have discarded the tracker and it will be hours before he knows I’m missing.

“Sold,” I hear the man say through the overhead speakers, his voice echoing around the large room and drawing me out of my thoughts.

“Lot number two,” he announces as my box slowly lifts onto the stage. “This is the only verified virgin in tonight’s auction. Bidding will open at one hundred thousand dollars.”

Heat burns through me as a blush covers my face. I’ve never been discussed like this and knowing that these men, these Alphas, can see everything has shame flooding my system. I struggle against my bonds, trying to close my legs, but it’s no use. I hear a few Alphas chuckle before the bidding starts.

“One hundred,” a voice calls from the back.

“One ten,” another calls.

“One twenty.”

And so on until the gavel slams down on the podium. “Sold for one hundred and ninety thousand to the gentleman with the red tie,” the auctioneer announces.

I must have been lost in thought because I missed everything. The glass box descends below the stage once more and I am untied. A different woman leads me down a well-lit corridor to a room where she leaves me alone.

“Don’t fight the Alpha,” she says flatly. “He has paid for the right to use your body as he sees fit. If you fight him, it will be so much worse.”

I don’t get the opportunity to ask her any questions before she is gone, the door closed and locked behind her.

Taking a deep breath, I try my best to calm my nerves before I assume the position we were taught at the finishing school I attended. Standing naked, at the foot of the bed, eyes downcast.

And then I wait for the Alpha that has paid to fuck me but has also unknowingly paid for my freedom.

Hot buy
Written by Rose S, on 24th Sep 2024

Well written, fast paced read. Full of hot steamy scenes, drama, love, abuse and twists. Jonah is an alpha who has saved all his money for an auction to buy himself an omega. He knows that Autumn will be at this auction so he makes his plans to buy her and spend the night with her. At the end of their time together, he asks Autumn to marry him and she agrees. Her father had made plans for her to marry someone else but she marries Jonah instead. Lots of action and hot steamy scenes between them. Happily ever after for them. Would recommend to others.

What a steamy story.
Written by Roberta R on 24th Sep 2024

I enjoyed this short story of love, lust and obsession. Jonah is obsessed with Autumn and wants her for his. He waits a full year until he can afford to get her through an auction. She falls for him as he has for her. I recommend this book to all Omegaverse romance readers.

Love this serie!
Written by Diana A on 24th Sep 2024

This book is different from other stories, is not the typical warewolf romance, and I love it. It has this rough love, but it is so well explained and described that are enjoy it read it. Can wait to read the next book in this series!

4/5
Intense
Written by Monickaslniecko on 24th Sep 2024

Buying the Omega by Jade Marshall is an intense and emotional journey of desperation, control, and unexpected love. The protagonist's hope to escape her father's manipulative grasp leads her to the Sanctuary, but standing there waiting for the man who bought her feels like a grave mistake. What follows is a gripping story where freedom comes at the price of being bound to another man’s desires. The emotions are raw, the tension is palpable, and the twists keep you guessing. If you enjoy dark romance with complex power dynamics, this is a book that will keep you on edge.

4/5

Buying the Omega

Buying the Omega!
Written by Mary on 24th Sep 2024

WOW, this one is as intense as the first story in the "Sanctuary" series. It is a stand alone read that is fairly short and quick. Again this story is intense with intense sexual scenes and some possible triggers; what a story. It contains a very dominant ALPHA and the virgin Omega he desires but cannot have. The story is good and I could not put it down. The story is about Jonah and Autumn. She signs up for the virgin auction to escape an arranged marriage. He was employed by her father as a bodyguard until he let his desire for her be known. Jonah and Autumn are perfect together!

5/5

Amazing book!!
Written by Brooke T on 24th Sep 2024

This book was amazing!!! I loved Buying the Omega from the first chapter and couldn’t put it down until the end and wanted more from both characters. This is book two in The Sanctuary series and can be read as a standalone. Aitumn was a firecracker and very determined. I loved her attitude and stubbornness. Jonah was very much an Alpha and got what he wanted and was dedicated to getting it. I loved their chemistry it was intense and undeniable. Jade Marshall has created a dark and addicting Omegaverse series and i can’t wait to devour the next book!!!

5/5
Another fast paced, dark read for the win
Written by EPM on 24th Sep 2024

Buying the Omega is another great book in The Sanctuary Series by Jade Marshall, it is a fast paced, quick read, hot, dark, brutal and intense right from the start. Autumn decides to take her future into her own hands, to avoid an arranged marriage, she auctions herself off. Jonah isn't a Billionaire (a nice change) he works as a Bodyguard but having encountered Autumn before, he will do whatever it takes to win her, and that is only the start of their story. Easily read as a standalone, however I highly recommend reading the first book, Omega for Sale, it was just as good. Looking forward to more books in this series.

5/5

SO MANY HOT STEAMY MOMENTS!!!

Dad’s Ex-Bodyguard
Written by Keaton W on 24th Sep 2024

Autumn discovers her dad has planned to arrange a marriage without her knowledge to garner more wealth and power than he already has. She decides to take control of her life and escape to the illegal Omega Auctions to sell her innocence. She ends up bought by a familiar face old enough to be her father and learning she may have bitten off more than she could chew. Jonah was her dad’s bodyguard. When she returns home from school and he’s instantly obsessed, he tries to do the right thing and speak with Autumn’s dad about pursuing her. When he gets fired for it, Jonah decides to bide his time and claim Autumn himself, however he deems necessary. The story contains slick and knotting, primal chase and claiming, somnophilia, virgin FMC, DDlg (no age play), non-shifting designations, and a sort of dystopian world where designations must be registered and births, deaths, marriages, etc. must be approved/ recorded by the government. Definitely a HEA.

5/5

Alpha and Omega
Written by Red18 on 24th Sep 2024

I have read numerous omega books and this one was good for the short novella it was. Going in I knew it was going to be a lot of s*x and domination but the sweet, caring side of Jonah was there too. I thought Jade did a good job of creating a short story while giving the characters a little depth too. I enjoyed it.

My bodyguard loves me.

Jonah asked my father to marry me. Dad just got rid of him. I am an omega to be used to make the best alliance for my family. Love has nothing to do with anything I want. I do not even know the person he betrothed me to. I am a pawn, so I am going to do something that only I get to have fun with. The Sanctuary Auction for Omegas.

5/5
Steamy!
Written by Dr.Lollipop on 24th Sep 2024

I liked this one just as much as I liked the last book. The characters are great and there's enough plot to go with the steam. These are short and (not so) sweet stories and they're great when you're looking for a quick and steamy read!

4/5

Quick Alpha/Omega Romance
Written by Luv2Read17 on 24th Sep 2024

Jonah has been captivated by Autumn since the moment he first saw her, when he was a bodyguard for her father. Once he expressed interest in Autumn, her father fired him... Her father is big on appearance and social status, so he's been planning on marrying Autumn off for a while- keeping her sheltered and innocent. It's Autumn's birthday and she's signed herself up for the Omega auction at The Sanctuary. She wants to live her life the way she wants to, not for her father. Little does she know that Jonah has been keeping an eye on her and is there to buy her. He's hoping for a forever with her, but will Autumn want to spend forever with him... I'm hoping this series continues. There wasn't a cliffhanger, but I've enjoyed both books. And yes, you can read and enjoy this book without reading the first in the series, but I recommend reading both.

5/5
Awesome read
Written by Laura Ann on 24th Sep 2024

At the Sanctuary it is auction night of the omegas, once again. This time, Jonah is there, after saving as much money as he can to buy Autumn, the woman of his dream. Although he is much older than her, and he once worked for her father, he knows that her father holds Autumn pretty much hostage in her own home. Jonah knows that Autumn’s father only cares about his daughter in so much as how she can benefit him. Nothing else. What a piece of work. Jonah asked Autumn’s father for her hand while he was his bodyguard and was fired for it. It is Autumn’s 21st birthday and she escapes to the auction so that she can gain her freedom from her father, because she knows he is about to give her to some Alpha she doesn’t want. I was shocked at how Autumn’s dad treats her. Really, I think he is just a bio dad because although she was allowed access to college, nothing else was done to make her enjoy life, and she only has one friend, that her father approved. I felt so much anger while reading this book. I love reading books in the omega verse because they’re kinda empowering and they are always steamy and hot. Sometimes they are romantic, but not always. This one is to a certain extent and I had to have the AC on. Once together, Autumn accepts that Jonah is for her and her father is a piece of work and I dislike him immensely. I hope Karma deals with him appropriately. I can’t wait to see what happens next.

Dark Omegaverse Romance
Written by laura.lovesreading on 24th Sep 2024

This book takes a dark approach to an Omega/Alpha mating. Don’t expect gentleness, sweet words or consent. Autumn decided to auction her first time for money to get away from her emotional unavailable and controlling father. Jonah was infatuated with Autumn from the first moment he laid his eyes on her (he worked for her father prior) and decided that the auction was the perfect time to make her his. If you expect a more gentle approach, because he knew her is mistaken. His lust has overwritten every probability of being patient. And after a whirlwind of a night they’re off to start a mating together, but will Autumn be able to live her life how she wants? Be able to approach her dreams? It’s dark, spicy and ends with an happy ever after.

The Freedom to Love and Live
Written by A.K. Shaw on 24th Sep 2024

Buying the Omega is the second book in The Sanctuary series. The world of alphas and omegas that Jade Marshal has created is a lot to take in. The overarching theme of the Omegas wanting their freedom from the harsh life of not being respected as a person and treated by the Alphas (and often their own family) like an object that these Alphas can buy (for a lot of money) and treat as sex objects. Jonah and Autumn are the heroes and heroines in this story. They fight for their love against all odds and win.

5/5
Autumn and Jonah
Written by CarKar on 24th Sep 2024

This is the first Omegaverse trope I have read. It was as patriarchal is you can get with Autumn’s dad. Loved her and Jonah together. He promised her options and allowed her choices. Great chemistry together and giving Autumn the confidence to break ties with her past.

Well written, engaging and hot
Written by LBing on 24th Sep 2024

This is another well written and engaging read where an omega puts herself up for auction to an alpha. In this story, Jonah has been saving to buy time with an omega and has been crushing on Autumn. He's determined to win her. Autumn has turned to the auction to escape her horrible father's plans of an arranged marriage. What follows is a hot romance where a fully committed Jonah works to convince her that marriage to him would give her a fab happy ending - and he'd get the woman of his dreams ;D

Buying the Omega
Written by Michele77 on 24th Sep 2024

This story is set in a universe that is similar to our reality but contains alphas, omegas and betas. Autumn is an omega, belonging to a wealthy family, Jonah is an older man who works for a living. The story focuses on her trying to leave her privileged life which is no more than a gilded cage. Drama ensues throughout the story and there is lots of heat!!!

Actions speaks louder
Written by Redfaeryrose on 24th Sep 2024

The MMC's actions were truly remarkable. It's astonishing how far he went to win the love of the woman he adores. At first, I had doubts about his feelings for her, but his actions before, during, and after the auction left no room for uncertainty. The FMC found herself in a quandary as her desire for freedom clashed with the yearning stirred by the MMC. It was no easy task for the MMC to sway her, but he managed it. His actions truly demonstrated the old adage that "actions speak louder than words."

A good idea?

Buying the Omega is Jonah and Autumn's story. Autumn wants to get away from her father's controlling plans. I enjoyed the chemistry between these two! I don't like to go into details since I don't want to provide any spoilers. But I feel the book is well written and worth the time reading!

A Must Read
Written by Danee on 24th Sep 2024

This is the story of Autumn and Jonah. Autumn is looking for a way out of the prison she calls home. Her father has kept her very short and shielded only to later give her to someone else to benefit himself. When the point comes that she is married off, things go differently than expected because it is Jonah who meets her and takes her away because it is finally time to take his omega home. This is a real recommendation because you are quickly glued to the book and can't turn the pages fast enough.

Hot, spicy, and a HEA
Written by Sarah ES on 24th Sep 2024
