Nevaeh looked at me oddly, as Beta Daniels put me into my cage. I knew she wanted to know why I was in a robe. My face flushed red with embarrassment. I didn’t want her to know that the wolves found me sexually appealing, and viewed me as a conquest. It was bad enough seeing Nevaeh get groped by Diego, I didn’t want her to think I was getting special treatment.
Beta Daniels locked my cage, and walked out towards the front of the office. The auction was about to begin. I could hear him speaking to a crowd over a microphone.Nevaeh looked at me questioningly again.“I’m too big for my bikini.” I whispered to her, opting into telling her a half truth.“Oh.” She mouthed.I reached down into the corner, where I had hidden my locket, and put it back around my neck.“I promise you Anya, I will get chosen today, and. I will avenge you.” I whispered to my self bringing the locket to my lips.There was a loud banging noise and I knew the auction had begun. The capture had grabbed the first girl out of her cage and dragged her out of the room onto the stage. I could hear the crowd roar in delight.Her auction went by quickly, the banging of the next cage being opened, indicating they were already ready for the next girl. I felt my heartbeat start to accelerate, I was nervous for the unknown but I knew whatever my future held it had to be better than being stuck here with the wolves.The first seven girls were auctioned off quickly, not a single one was returned back to their cell, and I could tell the wolves were getting giddy with how much money they’d already acquired from the sale.“If you’re not chosen today, you’ll be given to our Alpha.” Diego hissed into Bethany’s ear as he pulled her out of the cage.Bethany let out a whimper as Diego pulled her through the door onto the stage. It was eerily quiet. I couldn’t hear anything from the crowd, there was no cheering, no hissing. Nothing.“Do we have any takers for this exotic blond beauty from the southern isles?” Beta Daniels spoke.Silence followed and I heard Bethany let out a wail. Her crying grew louder as she was dragged back into her holding cell.“Please.” She begged. “Please give me one more chance.”“You belong to the Alpha now.” Beta Daniels growled. “Diego, when the auction is over, you’re in charge of transporting the blond to the pack grounds.“No,” Bethany wailed. “I’d rather die that be given to one of you,” she shrieked, Spitting at Beta Daniels face.The Beta reached his hand through the gates and grabbed Bethany around the throat, squeezing her tightly, silencing her wails.“If the Alpha doesn’t want you bitch, you’ll be mine, and you’ll regret spitting in my face.”Bethany let out a whimper as Beta Daniels released her from his hold, throwing her onto the damp cell floor.While this was all progressing, Diego had dragged Nevaeh from her cell and onto the auction floor, as they say the show must go on.Nevaeh’s auction lasted longer than the other girls. I felt my heart start to race again, my breathing accelerating. The edges of my vision began to blur, and I knew I was on the verge of a panic attack.“Come on Mary.” I muttered under my breath. “Get your shit together. Breathe Mary, Breathe. Count backwards from ten. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1” I felt my pulse start to slow down, my breathing returning to normal. Counting backwards was a trick my mother had taught me, and it always seemed to work to calm my nerves.The crowd let out a loud cheer, interrupting me from my thoughts. Nevaeh had been sold to the highest bidder. My turn had come.Beta Daniels walked over and unlocked my cage. “Follow me” He growled. I followed closely behind him as he led me out of the holding cell and past the washroom, we took the first door on the left, and walked onto a makeshift platform, a curtain hanging down, shielding me from the crowd.“Strip.” Beta Daniels commanded.I slowly took off the robe, making sure to keep my back to him, hoping my hair covered my locket. As soon as my robe dropped to the floor the curtain was lifted. Bright lights were aimed straight at me, I couldn’t see into the crowd, but i could feel the gazes of everyone starring at me.“How much for this temptress?” Beta Daniels asked. I flinched at the name.“ 100 jewels.” Came a voice from someone sitting up front.“200.” Came another voice.“500” Hollered another.The room was silent for a moment.“500 going once, 500 going twice, Sold to Lord Issacson,” Beta Daniels announced.I felt my heart skip a beat. I had been sold.“ I want her.” Came a loud snarl.Everyone in the crowd grew silent.“Your…Your highness.” Stumbled Beta Daniels, bowing down onto his knee. “We weren’t expecting you tonight.”“ I want her,” the Vampire King said again. “She is mine.”“But your highness. She’s already been sold.” Beta Daniels spoke timidly.“ I don’t care. I want her.” He responded. “ What the king claims, the king gets.” He hissed as he walked down towards the stage. He threw a bag filled with Jewels at Beta Daniels.The Beta opened up the bag and his eyes went wide.“This should cover her expense and your troubles.” The king spoke to Beta Daniels, looking straight at me. I felt like his eyes were looking into my soul.“Come here.” He called to me.My legs were shaking, as I stepped towards the Vampire King. I tripped over a cord, and tried to brace myself for the fall, except the fall never came. The Vampire King had caught me. For the first time, since the hunters came I felt safe. I looked up at the king and watched as his eyes flashed from a beautiful cerulean blue to a deep blood red. This was the power of the vampire. They made the perfect Predator, everything about them was so warm, so inviting, willing the prey to them. Once the prey was within their reach, they’d pounce, attacking and killing their prey.I let out a shiver as I remembered just how frail my life was in the hands of the king.“Get her something to cover herself.” The king growled.“Ye..Yes. Your highness.” Stammered Beta Daniels."I have already told you, time and time again, that I do not need a Queen. Having a woman by my side will not make me stronger," I growled out at my council, feeling my anger rise. "If anything, it will make me weaker; my enemies will have something to target. "But Nikolai," One of the Elders said, "You need an heir." I could feel my anger rising with every mumbled agreement from the council. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself. "I am a vampire, not just any Vampire. I am King of the Vampires. I have been around for a Millennia now; I do not plan on dying anytime soon." I stared down at my council, letting my eyes flash red as my aura surrounded them, "Unless one of you is planning on taking me out and becoming the next King, I suggest you heed my words right now. I will not be forced to take a Mate by anyone."The council stayed quiet. No one dared to speak; they knew better when my mood was like this carnage followed if anyone dared to speak against me. I turned and walke
I opened the doors to my bedchamber and beckoned the two guards waiting outside into the room. ‘Sire.” They both bowed in unison. They were twin seers from the Dragon troupe. I had rescued them when they were just hatchlings from human hunters and they swore their fealty to me as my protectors. I brought them back home to my kingdom and had them trained by my strongest warriors. They were now my personal guards, and I trusted them almost as much as I trusted Kade. “Take Martha’s body and bury it in the gardens. Near the Willow tree.” Martha always loved the willow tree, it reminded her of her daughter, Willow, who was killed in the first war. The twins didn’t need to know that part though. The both bowed at me, before going to Martha, Draq, the taller twin, picked her gently and carried her bridal style in his arms. Dru, the smaller twin, looked around seeing if anything else needed to be removed from my room, before he followed Draq out, closing my door behind them. I sat on my
“Did you just roll your eyes at me.” I growled feeling my beast rise once again. This infuriating woman knew how to provoke me. I could hear the quickening speed of her heartbeat as I approached her. The closer I got to her the more enticing her smell became. What was it about her, that intrigued me so. As stopped right in front of her, reaching out, grabbing her chin in my hand tilting it up towards me. “Human, I asked you a question.” “My name is Mary damnit.” She said her eyes filling with unshed tears. Mary, the name was fitting for her. “I did not ask your name,” I sneered. “ I asked if you rolled your eyes at me.” I added a little pressure to my grip on her chin.“Yes.” She said her tears now rolling down her face. “I rolled my eyes at you.” “Ive already given you your one and only warning.” I growled.She gulped. “Im sorry. It wont happen again.” She responded through teary eyes. I leaned in closer to her, her scent calling to me. H
My heart was pounding in my chest as I ran towards the bathroom. I can’t believe I had almost thrown up on a Vampire, and not just any Vampire, the Vampire King. I reached my hand out and grabbed the door to the bathroom, swinging it wide open and slamming it shut behind me. I dived for the toilet, thanking the Heavens the seat had been left up, and emptied my stomach of its contents. I continued to drive heave, not knowing if I had a case of severe motion sickness, or anxiety, probably a little bit of both. Once I felt safe to get up, I slowly picked myself up off the bathroom floor, and made my way to the sink, to wash my face off. I turned the water on cold, and ducked my head under the faucet, gathering water in my mouth so I could swish it around, cleaning out my mouth. Afterwards I gulped down some water from the faucet, hoping to ease my stomach, Once I finished cleansing myself up, I peaked around at the bathroom. It was amazing. The bathtub looked like a lap pool, and

As soon as we exited the King’s room the servant, Elizabeth looked at me with content in her eyes. “I don’t see what’s so special about you,” Elizabeth snarled, “But know this, his special treatment wont get you anywhere. If anything it means you’ll die quicker.”I narrowed my eyes, at her trying to figure out why she was being so mean. We continued to walk down the long corridor, walking all the way to the end. Elizabeth pressed against a panel on the side on the door, and the door opened, I realized it was an handprint scanner, one of the first things I realized was that everything in this castle was so high tech, almost futuristic compared to how things were back at my village. It made me feel even more out of place, than I already was. “Don’t lag behind.” Elizabeth called out already a few steps ahead of me, “There’s bigger monsters in the castle besides the king.” Her eyes flashed a lighter shade of red. I took a small step back, her warning making me shiver. It wasn’t a goo
I took Emma from behind fast and hard, however I was not picturing the woman I was inside of at all, instead a curvy, green eyed, red headed minx was on my mind. I came quickly not worrying about Emma’s needs at all. This wasn’t about pleasure, this was about releasing all the pent up anger I had inside me. Right before my release I pulled out of Emma and came on her back, rolling off to my side and grabbing a towel from the floor, tossing it Emma’s way. “Whenever you’re cleaned up, you can leave.” I told her before getting off the bed and heading to the bathroom, to clean myself off. The sex with Emma had done nothing to release my pent up frustration. I had been gentler than normal taking into account that Emma was only a half breed, but the only other pure female vampire in the vicinity was Kade’s sister, and as part of our code, I couldn’t do that to him. I fiddled with the shower panel turning the heat up all the way, before I stepped in my shower, I mind-linked Draq and told hi
The door made a creaking sound and I grimaced. No not again. I couldn’t handle being sprayed by the hose again, Beatrice and Annie had come in here two more times since tying me up and soaked me with the ice cold water from the laundry hose. My entire body was numb for the cold, I had lost circulation to my hands and feet hours ago. I had started to lose hope that I would love through the night. The only thing keeping me alive was my need to avenge Anya’s needless death. I heard a set of footsteps rounding the corner. “Puh..puh… please, na..na..no more.” I managed to get out, unable to stop my teeth from clacking together due to the amount of shivering my body was doing. My vision was fading in and out and I get dizzy. I tried to fight the lose of consciousnesses, knowing I needed to talk to these girls and make them see reason. Then I saw them , two deep red orbs starring back at me. “Nik…” I whispered barely able to get his name out, before I lost consciousness. I felt the momen
