I want to kill off a main character 😁

Two days passed, and My mother and I were escorted out of the dungeons. We walked into the castle and before we entered I noticed a purple cloak that looked oddly familiar, I turned my head after walking past and noticed that she was looking back at me. Selma winked at me and hurried off somewhere. It made me feel reassured about whatever was about to happen.

We entered the familiar room where the council had all their meetings, all of them were in place, except for Lilith. Her chair was empty. We were pushed into the room and had to stand in front of them all. "It has come to my attention that Lilith, our former council member has broken some rules." The man who I assumed ran all the council meetings spoke.

"And for that reason, her wolves will be sold. These two will be sold together. Starting at 300." He pointed at me and my mother. My eyes widened at what he had just said. I couldn't believe we were getting bought again, was Selma coming to get us? She was just there. 

"That one was already mine!" The man with the raven black hair who once owned my mother yelled while pointing at my mother. The man sighed and shook his head. "Yes, but now they are being sold together, so if you wish to have her again you must pay for the other as well."

"400" The man began, the other ones quickly placed their prices until 1100 coins of gold came up. Cassandra, Lilith's sister, and the man were the only ones who were fighting for us now. The man had given up at 1220 which meant Cassandra was the one who would have us. In a way, I was glad it was her since she was Lilith's sister, on the other hand, I knew what she was like.

I looked at the woman who winked at me and looked me up and down. We were both forced on our knees behind the woman. Every werewolf worker in Lilith's home was bid off. They all seemed concerned and scared... Cassanda had taken Reagan too which made me wonder if Selma had something to do with it, she must have had something to do with it.

We were sent off somewhere to another side of the city, A huge manor with a courtyard with gates that closed when we arrived. Cassandra was already there waiting for us to arrive. She was quick to approach me and place her arms around my waist. Reagan growled and pushed Cassandra's hand away from me. "Oh right, you two are mates." She laughed but forced me back out of Reagan's arms and positioned me beside herself again. "But you should get used to sharing her." She spoke to Reagan.

"This is outrageous!" My mother yelled to Cassandra. "Outrageous? I bought you, and I expect something in return. Do you think I bought you out of the kindness of my heart?" She laughed again. We walked in and I took notice of the dark interior, not similar to what her sister had, but they both seemed to like the color red. I wondered if it was because it reminded them of blood, probably just a coincidence.

She also had workers similar to Lilith. "Why did you buy us? Are you going to auction us off? Where is Lilith?" I finally asked.

The woman laughed and turned to look at me. "She broke laws, no longer a part of the council and she will be released from prison in a couple of days." That meant we stood no chance of changing the minds of the councils, the new laws would definitely be put in place if we had no power or support in the council.

I felt something click around my neck and I noticed that a maid behind me had put on a collar, the bond with my wolf immediately disappearing. A second maid had done so on Reagan too so now there was no way we could overpower anyone and escape.

We were sent to a room with a big table, much like the meeting room Lilith had in her home. We were told to sit which we all did. "Lilith will retrieve you when she is out, until then you will stay here in my home and follow my rules." Her gaze went to me and I couldn't help but get shivers when she did. She was going to go after me.
