Angela POv
I sit down to eat the meal the two men prepared for me. I push the food on the plate watching the two of them. I wonder what they are hiding from me. I watch them talking to each other and ignoring me. I want to know what the hell is going on, and I am about to lose it. They keep talking about the auctions and tracking the auctions. It is all going over my head."I feel really left out of this situation. Will one of you please explain all of this to me? " I ask. I throw my fork down on the plate in anger.The two stop talking and look at me and then go back to their conversation. So, I guess that is that. I get up from the table, mad as hell. I leave my plate and go to the front door. As I open the door, Aspen rushes up behind me, pushes the door shut, and looks at me in a disapproving manner."Where are you going, Angela? Are you not aware of how much danger lurks outside this door for you?" Aspen asks me."I do not know, but as far away from youAngela POVI awake to Aspen holding me and kissing the back of my neck. Being in his arms makes me smile. I roll over in the bed, facing him. I kiss his lips. We begin to roll in the bed, playing and laughing. I land on top of Aspen and then lean down to kiss him. I can feel him beneath. I want him inside me. I have never wanted someone the way my body longs for him.As my lips touch him, the bedroom door flies open. "We really do not have time for you two to be mating. The auction is up on the website. So, if the two of you can keep your hands off each other long enough, I would love to get my sister back, okay," Draco says.As the words escape his mouth, he looks at the two of us. He stares at us for a moment. The stare from Draco is highly uncomfortable. Draco's gaze makes me feel like my brother just caught me in bed with my boyfriend. He shakes his head at us. What the hell is he thinking?"Are you two mates? We do not have time for the two of you to be in h
Aspen POVAngela is a nervous wreck at the thought of someone owning her. I would not expect her to bow down to me. It would not be like that. I would own her as far as the vampires and wolves were concerned. It would keep her protected. Now, the only problem is how I will accomplish all of this. I have to protect her.I look at her beautiful sweet face. She is in an emotional overload. I reach for her and touch her upper arm. She falls into my embrace. Draco blows out the air in aggravation. He does not have time for emotions right now. His only concern is getting his sister home to his family. I cannot imagine how he feels right now. Actually, I know how he feels.“We really do not have time for this right now,” Draco says to both of us. He glares at us.Angela rolls her eyes at him. Draco rolls his back at her. I hope these two do not start arguing. I guess, considering they are almost like siblings, it could happen. “Look, Angela, I realize
Angela POVThe commotion outside is frightening as a massive truck pulls up into Draco’s driveway. A handsome man is directing the others as the women are unloaded from the truck. The man is definitely a vampire. He looks well put together, not rugged like the wolves. His dark hair and nice suit make him look normal, but there is something evil in him. I can see it from here.He stands at the end of the van, barking at the other vampires. He grabs one of the boxes and shakes it. One of the women is obviously more terrified of him than the other. Or he just likes to pick on that one. He grabs one of them by the hair and tugs at her hair. She screams as he pulls some of her hair out. He releases the hair onto the ground and laughs.The other woman screams for him to leave her alone. He is infuriated. He yells at the vampire holding the box to stop. They set her down. He goes into the van and grabs a long object. He yells at the other vampires to set the other box
Angela POVI help Tia to a bedroom. She is so weak she can barely stand or walk. I point out the bathroom to her. "The bathroom is behind that door. I can help you into the bathroom if you need me to," I say to her."I think I can do it, but thanks," Tia says.Tia struggles into the bathroom to shower. She is broken and afraid, yet somehow relieved now that she knows we will help her. I cannot believe things like this are happening. How can the vampires and wolves get away with such horrible acts against other people? Money. Plain and simple, they have money. A rich wolf or rich vampire can do whatever the hell they want to whoever they want. If you have enough money to pay off the right people.I select Tia pants and a shirt from the closet and then some underclothing from the drawer. I stand outside the bathroom listening to her cry. I know she is in pain. “Tia, I picked you out some clothes. I can lay the clothes on the sink if you would like,” I s
Angela POVI rush into the room to comfort Tia. I have no idea if she will allow me to console her. I touch her back as she lays across her sister crying. The horrific pain she must be in is unimaginable. I do not know how I would feel if this was Deanne. What if we are too late to save Deanne?Tia looks back at me. Her oval deep-set blue eyes are drenched in her tears. She reaches for me. I take her into my arms and hold her. Her knees buckle as she mourns her twin hybrid sister. “I failed her! This is all my fault! How will I live without my sister!” Tia screams.There is nothing I can say to console her. I keep holding her, letting her cry. She needs to work through the emotions, and all I can do for her is let her cry. “Angela, take her to rest for a while. Let her cry, scream or sleep. Whatever she needs, get it for her. Be her comfort,” Draco says in a whisper."Tia, come with me. Let's get you out of here," I say to her. She nods he
Draco POVTia and I look over the auction listings and find the wolf that bought my sister. Tia is amazing on the computer. She moves through the listings fast. She is able to get into the computer and penetrate the firewall. “I am in the main computer. I will have the information we need soon,” Tia says.She is moving through everything much quicker than I ever have been able to move. She is a natural. I have basic computer skills and can get the information I want, but she is going in deep. I need her to stay and help me stop these auctions.“Can you track the auction location and the bidders?” I ask.She pecks away at the computer. Aspen, Angela, and I watch her work. “So, what is your plan after you get the location of the bidders and the auctions?” Angela asks me.“Oh, you are going to love this,” I say to her.I motion for her to move in closer. “My girl here, Tia, is going to shut down the auc
Angela POVTia and I take off our clothes to get into our individual boxes. I take mine off and wait for Aspen. He comes over to help me into the breeding box. I still have on my panties, but everything else is stripped from me."You do not have to do this?" Aspen whispers.I smile at him as he secures me in the box. "Yes, I do. We have to save Deanne and the others, Aspen. There is no other way and you know it. This is the only way," I say.He locks me into the box. He leaves one arm unlocked. "All you have to do is break this arm free, and then you can free yourself from the box, got it. We will be into the house right behind you. If something goes wrong and you cannot free yourself, do not panic. I am coming for you," Aspen says.Aspen kisses my forehead. "I know you will save me. Aspen I am not afraid. Do not worry about me. I will be fine," I say.Draco helps Tia into her box. The vampire Jeb and two of his men watch carefully as Draco gets Tia int
Draco PovAspen and I watch as the vampires unload the van. They take Angela and Tia into the house in the breeding boxes. He is a nervous wreck watching Angela, the woman he loves, unloaded and taken into the house as a breeder. I know the pain is unbearable for him. He loves her; I can see it. I am happy Angela found Aspen and that she knows about her family now. Maybe the two of them will be happy together.Jeb and his vampires put on one hell of a show. He yells at Angela and Tia as they go into the house. Jeb is good at this. He hates the auctions almost as much as I do. His sister is a human. She was taken by a wolf and auctioned to Craig several years ago. When Jeb got his sister back, she was a shell of the woman she once was before Craig got a hold of her.Craig kept her for years. The things he did to her were horrific. Craig and his wife wanted a baby, but she could not have children. She offered Jeb's sister a lot of money to have her baby, and when she wo
Draco POVThe vampire authority rushes into the house. Tia and I both go to our knees to await our fate. I wish she would have left, but she stayed behind to be here for me. She feels she still owes me for saving her. So many of the women I helped feel that way. They do not owe me anything. I only want them to thrive and get the hell out of here to live their lives.The big man, the soon to retire vampire over the authority Dominick Billings. He walks into my home and looks down at me. "Draco looks like we have a serious pickle here with you and your little friend," Dominick says. He lifts Tia by the chin and forces her to look at him. "You are very pretty," Dominick hisses at Tia. She pulls her face back. She does not care what he does to her, she will not bend to him, not today or ever."Hello Dominick, what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?" I ask him. I know why he is here and what he wants.Do
Aspen POVI try to comfort Tia, but she is not having any of it. She is in pain and hurting from Emma's rejection. "She is hurting, Tia. She will come around. She went through a lot at the auction house," I say to her.Tia wipes the tears from her face. "I am aware of what goes on in the auction; I was in it, remember. You worked those horrible things. So do not tell me what she went through at the auction. I know, Aspen. I know better than anyone in this house. I saw my sister raped and watched her die," Tia screams at me and then runs away, crying and yelling as she runs to the other side of the house."I see you have not lost your touch," Draco says, sitting down beside me."I hate it for her. How is Emma?" I ask Draco.Draco shakes his head and runs his fingers through his hair. "She is leaving as soon as she is healed. She wants out of this shit, and I do not blame her. Maybe she can convince Tia to get
Emma POVI can feel him touching me, inside me, hitting me. My body moves up and down, and I feel his weight. STOP! I scream, and then I try to open my eyes. I am being moved. No one is hurting me. Where am I? "What is happening?" I whisper. I feel a familiar hand. "We are moving you to a bedroom. Tia called a doctor for you. You will be okay," Angela says. The swelling in my face hurts when I speak, so I give her a slight nod. I want to sleep. I drift into dreaming again. Stop it! I feel him touching me again. Whore, take it, screams from other women. "MAKE IT STOP!" I scream out. All I can see and hear is him, his breath on me, his friends taking me. I cannot live with this. I thought I would be okay, but I cannot do this. How did Tia live after the auction?I hear the door open and something moving. I feel a soft bed and then someone covering me. "I am going to use a cool washcloth on your face," Angela says. I jerk away. "Stop fucking touc
Tia POVI wait for Angela and Aspen to return with Emma. It hurts, everything hurts, my heart feels as if it will explode. I am afraid for her. I know what it is like being inside the auction, but Emma she does not know. She knows now, and the pain, the agony will have helped so many heal will be her pain now too. "Tia!" Draco calls out to me. I take a deep breath and get out of the bed. I just want to lie here and hurt. I want to wait alone, but Draco always has a way of making you feel your pain and finding a way to accept him. Draco believes that if you do not accept the pain, you cannot move on from where you are. How do I help Emma accept her pain? What if this changes her? I am afraid for her. "I am coming," I say as I finally force myself out of the bedroom. I walk down the hall. I stop at the room where my sister, Fia died, that is not a memory I want to relive right now. I touch the door, and then I lean my head on it. I start crying, but I am not sure why.
Emma POVThe door opens, and I hear someone get into the seat beside me. I hear the truck start, and then it moves. I try to see who is in the truck. Is it Aspen? I wait to see Angela or at least feel her."My arm is broken, I think," I say. I see some movement from the corner of my eye. Aspen, it is Aspen. He reaches above him and releases a hook or something, but I am unsure what it is. I want to see, but it is so hard through my swollen eyes.I hear something raise, like a door or something. "Emma, It is me. I am here for you," Angela says. I begin to cry."Do not cry, sweetie. It will make your eyes more swollen. Please try to remain calm," Angela says. I nod my head to let her know I am trying. I am a sobbing mess as I feel Angela check me."I need to get a good look at you. I am going to help you back into the space where I am. It is a small cab with a bed and a lot mo
Emma POVHe took me. Joel Lee thought I would tell him where to find Tia. I would never betray her. I love her and she is the only thing that matters to me. If I know she is safe then it is all worth it. I can continue on, no matter what they put me through here. I can be a slave it means Tia is safe and continue working to stop the auctions.I am sure she will make it to Draco, but I have no idea if they will be able to find me soon enough. I will be a slave to one of the wolves or a vampire. They will use me, abuse me and ruin me. I am strong, but surviving the auction, even a controlled auction is not easy. I will not give up on finding her and being with her again, but I have to harden myself to survive just like the others.At least, for me, I am not a hybrid. I will never be forced into a breeding box or tortured in that manner. What they will do to me is make me serve my master, and I will hav
Draco POvI watch the underground auctions for almost an hour. Nothing. Not a peep of the hybrids. I have no idea what to do unless, DAMN! Joel Lee sold the hybrids to the vampire authority. It is the only explanation. He will want to get rid of them fast and make a quick buck. I have a few contacts at the vampire authority. I can reach out to them, but bidding in a hight profile auction for that many hybrids could be a problem for me and our cause. I have no choice.Tia comes down the stairs to join me in the kitchen at the laptop. I can tell she has been crying. I know how she feels. The same way I felt when my sister... I cannot think about that. Tia touches my shoulder. I need to comfort her, not her comfort me. I know how much she loves Emma. The two deserve so much happiness and not this. I can only imagine what Joel Lee will do to Emma. That sick depraved bastard."Aspen and Angela are both on
Draco POVIt is odd for Tia or Emma not to bother me at night. The two of them always call as they wind down after a big rescue. Maybe they are extra busy tonight. A lot is going on, but I need to work on the next auction. I boot up my computer and wait for the auctions to load. I wait and wait. For some reason, I cannot get into the auction system. What the hell is going on with the computer? Maybe it is down. I am sure it will not be down for very long.I am anxious, and something is bothering me. I cannot put my finger on it, but yeah, something is off. I pick up my phone and call Tia. The phone rings and then goes to voicemail. Okay, she is busy. I scratch my head and think. I decide to try Emma. The phone rings and then goes to voicemail. Fuck this! I am going to the wolf camp. I grab my keys and go out the garage door. The auction system is done, and neither of the girls is answering their phones. Something is not right.
Joel Lee POVI park my car and send a text back to all of my wolves. They are waiting and ready to go in when I call. I get out of the car and walk slowly toward the front gate. I saw him. The one they call Draco. I saw him watching me. He probably thought I was lost or something. I wonder what he will think when I clean this place out of hybrids. I wonder, hmmm, how many are here? I can make a quick buck and make this Tia bitch and Draco pay for interfering in the auctions.Damn, poor Teddy. I can hear his screams as I get closer to the cabins. I slowly sneak up to the building where the screams are coming from. I look around to make sure no one is around, and then I peer carefully through the window. It is hard to see, but I can see Teddy in a breeding box; he is naked. Rog is hitting him and screaming at him. Teddy will talk if they keep up the torture. He will tell Rog and his men everything about us and all
