Draco POV
We all go back to Ronica’s place to gather ourselves and figure out what to do next. I have to get Tatina straight so we can get the hell out of hell. I am done with New Orleans and the vampire authority. I am sure she is too. We no longer have to worry about Samuel or Tara, but I still want to get her as far away as possible. I am sure there are pieces of Tara all over the yard from the explosion, along with a few people that were bidding on the auction. We were able to get everyone out safely that mattered. Lester called the authority building and reported the explosion at Horace’s place. I am sure there will be a cover-up. Samuel’s name will not be tarnished. The vampire authority would never take the fall or let one of their own take the fall. I could care less. I have Tatina back, and nothing else matters. She is my life.
I take Tatina into the bed and breakfast. I take her straight to our room. I lay her on the b
Draco POVTatina and I arrive at a small cabin in the mountains. Lester was able to secure us a cottage when I called to tell him that Tatina was pregnant and we needed a place long term. Lester made a few phone calls for me and managed to find a nice big cabin far away from everyone.Tatina wanted off the radar, and this is definitely it. Tatina gets out of the car and walks around the cabin to see what it has to offer. "There are no neighbors," Tatina says."Nope, what am I going to eat?" I tease her."Me, I guess," she says, laughing."Lester is bringing up extra blood bags for me when He and Renae come up tomorrow," I say to her."Well, you can still eat me if you want," Tatina says, laughing. I love to see her laugh and be happy. This is the most comfortable I have seen her in a long time.I run over to her and pick her up. "I will gladly eat you anytime," I say. I nibble at her neck and carry her to the do
Draco POVTatina is still asleep when I get out of bed this morning. She was wild and on fire for me last night, which I enjoyed every second. We finally went to sleep when the sun was coming up this morning. I lay with her for a few hours and then decided to get things ready for our visitors today.Tatina has a million ideas for Lester and Renae. She is excited that they are taking over the hunt. If there is anyone that carries on in our place, it is Lester and Renae. I hope Tatina is serious about staying out of the hunt. We cannot put a child in danger. I will not do it. I will live for her and our child. I will do whatever is necessary to keep both of them safe.I go down the stairs and finish uncovering furniture. I can speed around and clean the house faster than she can. I cannot have her getting sick from the dust in the house. I finish the living room and go into the kitchen. I clean it up and then remember that she has to eat. I
Tatina POVI awake in the bed alone and afraid. I feel strange, and maybe a little afraid of what is happening to me. I crave blood. It is like a burning desire that aches within me. I need blood. It is all I can think about right now and that loud thundering sound coming from within me. What is that? Why does it sound like there is a storm brewing inside of me?"Tatina, my love," Draco whispers to me from the bedroom door. I look up at him. He looks concerned and so devilishly handsome. I lick my lips and think Ummm I would love to drink from him. Blood, it is what I need, not sex, just blood!"I am so hungry, my love, and I hear this noise. It sounds like two thundering storms coming from within me. I am not sure what is going on with me. I am just so fucking hungry. I need blood. Please let me drink from you," I hiss at him.Draco opens the door and comes inside the bedroom. He looks more concerned as he comes into the room
Draco POVTatina is terrified; hell, I am afraid. I am happy to see Renae and Lester here to help keep her calm and maybe put her mind somewhere else. Renae gets out of the car and is running straight into the house to see Tatina. Renae comes up to check on Tatina. I know it will be hard for Renae to see her like this. It is hard to see her, such a vibrant soul that Tatina is, and now she is weak. She will not be fragile for long; as her powers shift and her cravings grow, the doctor assures me that her powers will become stronger than ever after the babies are born. Her focus is not on her vampire transition or losing any of her identity as a fairy. Tatina is only focused on the two babies growing inside her, and as she changes, I can hear every thought in her head. She worries for them so much. It consumes her and makes it hard for her to care for herself. I guess that is most mothers."How is she?" Renae asks me
Tatina POVYesterday I was taken from my home. Today I am here being pampered and primped to be the most beautiful creature I can be. I have never had my hair dyed and curled. I have never had my nails done. I have never been to a spa. Yet here I am today getting pampered. Who knows what hell awaits me. I have heard horror stories about the auction. I have about the things that happen to the people who end up here.Here I am with others just waiting to be auctioned out to the highest bidder. It is not fair. I should not have to be here. My father was an idiot. He could not stop gambling. He lost everything playing poker with the vampire authority elite. Now I have to pay for his crimes. I have to be here to cover his debts. I should be getting married or going to college but no the vampire authorities plucked me out of my home on my 21st birthday and drug me here. Here to this hell to be auctioned off to some sicko.Maybe I will get l
I stop in front of a mirror. I look like a painted-up hooker. There is nothing beautiful about the way I look. I have on too much makeup and way too revealing clothes. This is ridiculous. I stand in the hall waiting with other people. Men, women, and creatures that I am not sure what they are waiting to have their picture taking for the auction. Every time I pass a mirror I look at myself."You look sexy hybrid," Horace says.I cannot even stand the way he looks at me. He gives me the creeps. No worries Horace if I ever get out of this I will find you and send you far far away."Can’t you even say thank you," he says.I keep ignoring him."Hey, bitch. I am talking to you," he screams at me and gets right in my face.A lady comes out of the small room. "Tatina, you are next honey. Come with me," she says.I give Horace a bite-me look and follow he
I walk into the waiting area. All of these people. Well, at least there is food. I wish I could put on something more comfortable. This ridiculous costume they put me. I get it they want to make money off of money but if someone is looking for a maid why would she need to look like this. I scan the room looking for a place to sit and wait."Hey, hybrid! Come here," Horace screamed.I turn around to make sure he is talking to me. Of course, he is. I am the only hybrid here tonight. I smile politely. "Coming sir," I say in my sweetest voice.I walk up to him and smile. He grabs my arm. "Time for your shot," he says. He pulls me into the hall. Oh No, I have to stay with the group."I can wait here while you go get it," I say.He keeps pulling me harder into the hall. "Come with me," he yells at me.I comply. I do not want to make him mad. I just have to survive
I go back to the waiting area. I am so thankful Jayne was there to save me. What would have happened if she would not have been there to rescue me. I know what would have happened. I would have been raped on that nasty floor but the pig. I just have to stay with the group.I wait for what seems like forever. Almost everyone has left the room but me. I could take a nap while I wait. I move over to a couch and lay down. I can close my eyes just for a second. "Tatina, honey wakeup," Jayne says as she nudges me softly."Hey, I have some great news for you. Come with me," she says.I open my eyes and gather myself. I was sleeping so sound. I don't think I was even dreaming. I was just in a deep solid sleep."I am coming," I say.My brain feels all fuzzy. It must be from the shots wearing off. "Tatina Honey, Mr. Craig Madallion has won your auction. He is sending a man up to pick you up. He is very
