Chapter 35
Tatina POV
I lay on the floor beside the tub watching Aurora suffer. I cannot believe what I am watching. For a brief moment I felt happiness. Now I lay here on the floor watching my new friend covered in ice and blankets trying to cool her fever.
I don’t have a complete understanding of what has happened. Draco did not explain much only that she was pregnant by a wolf and very sick. His sister. How hard it must have been for him to watch his sister die like this?
Aurora whimpers. I reach for her. She cannot die. I need something good in my life. That is selfish of me. I want her to live. I want to see her make a life beyond the horror she and I have experienced.
“You to have to survive the night,” I say to her.
I take her hand and hold it. I cannot lose her. What if I lose her and Jayne? I have to have faith in Draco. I am putting all my trust in him that he will save the two of them.
Aurora continues to shift her bo

Two years laterDraco POVTatina has struggled so much over the last few years with everything that happened to her while she was with Craig. She has never went into much details about those nights she was with him before I could rescue her. She has consumed herself in her work.She works day and night trying to find auctions to shut the shit show down. I work by her side mostly. I did not go with her a few months ago. She went into a auctioneers house. What she found pushed her to work harder. She pulled three women out. Only one survived, and she was left permanently blind. After that day Tatina has worked harder than ever to stop the auctions.I think our greatest victory came when the vampire authority outlawed auctions. Underground auctions, which have always been illegal now carry the death penalty. Anyone found operating an underground auction will be burned to death.I sit this morning waiting for her to come back from her hunt last night. She want

I know he loves me, he shows me every single day we are together.He is patient and kind. He allows me time to decompress and be by myself. It is strange how we became a couple. First he was my rescuer then my best friend, somehow I worked myself into his bed as his lover, but ultimately he became to me the man I needed.He doesn’t feed on me ever. He knows it is something that scares me now. He has never tried but once. I think I almost lost my mind that night. Draco being Draco held me while I cried. He helped me through so much.

I want to cook for her and make love to her. I want more than anything for her to say yes she will marry me. I want her to be my partner forever.I have purchased all of her favorite things. This would be so much easier if I let the staff prepare our meal, but she wants me to cook for her. I have not cooked for her in a long time.I did cheat and have my cook make Tatina a cheesecake. I could not do that no matter how hard I try. The steaks and vegetables, I can grill no problem. She can have cheesecake for desert and I will have her.What is she says no?

Tatina POVI look down at my sweet Draco kneeling before me. He has no idea how badly I want to say yes, but I am afraid. The only thing I know to do is be honest with him.I place my hand on top of his.“Draco, I want to be perfectly honest with you. I feel that we have always been honest with each other and there is no reason to stop that now,” I say to him.“That is all I want. I want an answer for a change. No matter what you say I will respect that,” Draco says.“There is no doubt in my mind that we love each other. Is that enough?” I ask him.“Of course, it is enough. I will love you until the end of time,” Draco says.“What is it that you want from me?” I ask him.“I want you to be my wife. I want you to be my partner in life. I want us to be together forever,” Draco says.“I am your partner and we will always be together. I just d

Draco POVI cannot believe she finally said yes to me. I have waited so long for this moment for us. I hate that the only priest I can find is in the city. I hope if I offer him enough money he will come to a hotel outside of the city and marry us there, if not I will protect her.There isn’t a threat to her anymore. Craig is dead. I made sure of that myself. He cannot come after her. She still fears him. I understand these feelings she has of fear. I cannot say that I would not be the same way if I was in her shoes.Tatina has developed into the strongest person I have ever known. She walks into auction houses and slave houses. She destroys the idiots that hurt women. She is fearless except for the one fear she is still trying to get passed.I pack us a small bag for the night. I let her relax while I grab us a few things. We can eat when we get there. She doesn’t really want to eat my horrible cooking, it was a test to see if I
The Auction Chapter 41
Two years after THE AUCTION Renae Dufrene POV I have been looking forward to this trip all month. When Tara suggested we celebrate her divorce with a weekend in the French Quarter, I jumped on it. I have not been to New Orleans in a while. I need a few nights filled with music, booze, and dancing. Before she married Mr. Straight and fucking narrow, we would go down at least once a month. We would stay in this fabulous rental house and party like we were locals. I was so ecstatic to find out the house was available for rent this weekend. The same guy still owns it. That is a bonus. He will be something nice to look at while we are there. Tara really needs this weekend, and I fully plan to give her a good one. Maybe I can talk her into staying longer. Marrying Jake was such a mistake. I know she loved him, but damn, why him? I have every intention to make this a wild woman’s weekend. I have already sent out a massive text to everyone we know that

Renae POVI don't say anything about the passenger in Lester's car. I just keep looking at Tara and try not to make eye contact with him no matter how much I want to. I would love to reach over slap Jamie and ask him what the hell he is doing with Lester, but it is probably better if I keep my hands to myself and my opinion. Lester instructs the driver to the nearest bar. I need a drink, and I needed it the moment he stepped behind me and said Hello. Nobody wants to see their ex on their vacation. NOBODY!. Tara looks like she needs a drink or four. . What the hell is Jamie doing with my ex-husband? I know, damn I know exactly why they are together and there is no need in pretending or trying to figure it all out in my head."I can read your thoughts and so can everyone in this car. Well, except for your friend over there," Lester says as he reaches for my hand. I let him touch the top of my hand for a moment.I jerk my hand back as I
