Draco POV
I sit alone through the night. When everyone wakes, I hide. I need to be alone with my thoughts. I need to think. I need to prepare. I need the fears of my sister coursing through my veins. I need pain, and I want to feel her pain.I go into my room to hide. I hear them walking into the house. They are laughing, talking, and enjoying life. I have nothing left to enjoy in this life. I am broken.A soft knock on my door startles me. It is either Tia or Angela. I ignore it. Maybe she will go away. I do not have to have pity bestowed upon me. I need my anger. I know how I feel, and I want to feel every bit of it.I close my eyes and hide in my mind for a while longer. Then a hard knock comes on the door. This knock barges into my room. " It is time, Draco. Jeb is here. Let's go get the bastard!" Aspen says. I nod my head. Aspen takes a double-take at me and then leaves.I get up out of the bed. I go to the dresser. I pickDraco PovI have to get to Angela before she does anything stupid. She probably already has done something stupid. I would be shocked if she was smart in any situation. Aspen is worried for her, his love. I can see it in his eyes. He cannot lose her to Alpha.Aspen and I arrive at the Alpha's cabin. Every light is on, and there is screaming coming from inside the cabin. The screams are the type of screams that will cause a person to have nightmares. Even the strongest of man could not forget the sounds coming from that cabin.I run upon the front porch behind Aspen as he runs full speed through the front door. Tia screams as Aspen runs through the door. Angela is screaming but not in the same room as Tia. I stay with Tia, and Aspen set off to find Angla. He follows her screams."Are you okay? What happened?" I ask Tia.She shakes her head. "It is not what you think, Draco. She went ballistic on Alpha. She is so strong. You shoul
Draco POVAngela rushes to Aspen. "Aspen!" she screams. She throws her body over him."I am okay; it just stings like a bitch!" Aspen moans.I walk over with Tia. "Where the fuck were you?" I ask him."Really, Draco, I am in pain, and you are going to question me now," Aspen snaps at me."Yeah, just in case we need to reshoot you," I say."I am so sorry, love," Angela says to him."I am fine; just get me out of here," Aspen says."First, I want to know where you were," I ask him.I see more eyes coming from the woods where Aspen came running to us, "I heard screaming. I released them," Aspen says.Hundreds of women are coming out of the woods. All filthy, skinny, and terrified. I pat Aspen on the shoulder hard. "Good job," I say.Jeb and his vampires join us at the Alpha's cabin. "Can you get Calamity Jane and her wolf back to the house for me?" I ask Jeb.
Draco POV"Draco, are you seeing what is going on with Teddy? He has a lot of hybrids on the auction site tonight?" Tia says."I know Tia, and I am already on it. I will get them. You handle the camp and let me handle getting them out of the auction, okay," I say as Tia cries into the phone."Thank you, Draco. I cannot let anything happen to another member of my family. I know he has my cousin," Tia sobs."I know. I am winning the auction, but I need to pay attention to it, so I will call you later," I say."Bye," Tia says and quickly hangs up the phone.Tia and I have worked together beautifully over the last few months. Aspen and Angela check in on us occasionally, but I hope he keeps her far away from here. The auction is a pit of disgusting vampires and wolves trying to enslave that perfect hybrid. Angela is in danger anytime she comes back, and I d
Draco POVMy front door swings open, and I turn to see a tall vampire wolf hybrid standing smiling at me. "Draco, you slick devil!" He hollers as he runs for me."Rog!" I scream as he grabs me and pulls me off of the ground. Rog is a considerable hybrid. He is a genius when it comes to putting together a plan, and he is always eager to shut down an auction."Did you get everything I ask for?" Rog asks me.I nod my head and lead him into the kitchen. I throw a duffle bag at him, and he opens it. "Damn, you did get everything," Rog says.I smile. "Yes, and a little extra just in case we run into any trouble," I say. I slap Rog on the arm."Are you sure we are going after Teddy?" Tog asks."Yes, I already have the pickup requirements and location. It is Teddy alright," I answer him.Rog looks over the requirements. "You were able to purchase twelve hybrids, damn!" Rog exclaims."Yes, I bought twelve, but we are stealing the
Draco POVI drive to Teddy's with Anna riding shotgun. She is quiet for most of the ride. Anna has gone with me several times to retrieve hybrids, and each time, it is hard for her, but she keeps volunteering to go. I do not know if she goes for me or if she goes to help the hybrids, but she is a great help to the cause."Are you okay, Anna?" I ask her.She nods her head as she keeps her focus out the window. "I am fine, and I worry every single time we do this or when you go it alone. Draco, do you think it will ever end?" She asks me.She has a good point. Will it ever end? Will we ever stop all of them? Will I do this forever?I reach across the seat. "Listen, I have no idea when or if this will ever stop, but I know we have to keep trying to stop it. These illegal auctions are the worst, and that is where we need to focus. Anna, you are not okay. What is really going on with you?" I ask her.We are about thirty min
Anna POVI look out at the condition of the hybrids and the women that are not hybrids. I am not sure who is treated worse. This bastard needs to go down and soon. There is no way Draco can let him walk away after seeing this. Teddy will die or worse. Draco will make him wish he was dead."Draco, Why? Why? This cannot be real. Oh My God!" I exclaim. Draco reaches out and touches my hand."Listen, for the next little bit, I need you to harden your heart and push that lump in your throat down. We have to put on a good face so we can help these women. Remember, Rog is here and ready to help all of these women as long as you and I do not fuck this up. Got it? Just do your thing, sweetie. You can do this," Draco says.Draco gets out of the truck. I sit and wait. I am a slave to Draco, and if I move without him saying, then the wolves might get suspicious of me. A s
Draco POVAnna stays in the back of the long haul with the hybrids and Teddy. Teddy is secure, and Anna will not mess with him. She is too intelligent for him to talk her into letting him go, and she will not hurt him because she knows he needs to be interrogated by Rog and me. Rog mostly. I just watch and threaten a lot.Anna's main job while I drive is to help the hybrids decompress. She will work on one at a time. It takes a lot of time to move them out of the box in a way that they do not run. We need them to trust her and Tia, Tia mostly. She will work with the hybrids and help them all get back on their feet.After tonight, Anna will be gone. I am glad she is here, and I hate to lose her, but I understand it all. She is good at helping the women remember who they are and not be afraid, but this is hard on a person. Hell, it is hard on me, and I am a vampire. Anna needs to get away from here, get married to her human boyfriend, and ha
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
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
