Angela POV
Aspen and I walk back to the cabin. He is quiet as we walk back. He reaches over and touches my hand before we leave the woods. I look down at his big hand touching mine. I look up to him as he leans down to kiss me. His kiss is like a bolt of electricity jolting through my body. I moan as he kisses me."Don't do that; I will never take you back, and then we will both be in trouble," he says to me.I smile and bite my lip. He pulls me into his warm embrace, holding me for another moment before we leave the clearing. He releases me, and we walk out of the woods. He walks me back to my cabin. I go inside; the others are already in bed. I look for Deanne, but she is still not back.I go to the back to shower. I grab my towel and clothes. I rush back to the last shower, hoping to shower before the lights go out. I undress quickly. I get into the shower and let the warm water run over my body.As my hands wash my body, I think of him. Why in the hell did I sleep with him? Why am I thinking of him now? I cannot help myself. His touch is a burning memory that I cannot shake. My body wants him again. I have no idea when I will be able to be alone with him again.As I wash my hair, the lights go out. I hear Aspen counting the women. He comes into the shower room and walks back to the last shower. He pulls back the curtain. "Hi," he says softly. "Hi," I say back.He looks me up and down. "Like something you see, Aspen?" I ask him. His eyes meet mine as he licks his lips. "Yes, I see something I like very much," he growls.He hands me a towel as I step out of the shower. I turn away from him. He leans down and kisses my back. He presses me against the wall and presses his body next to mine. "I want you again," he whispers in my ear."That is dangerous, and someone would hear us," I say. Aspen reaches into the shower and turns the water back on to drown out our noise. He presses me firmly against the wall and unzips his pants. I can feel his hard throbbing member against me."I know you want me to take you; say it," Aspen whispers to me."I want you to take me right now, right here, Aspen," I say.Aspen positions me to take me from behind. He slides into me, placing his hand over my mouth. He thrusts into me deep and hard. I want to moan and scream as he plows into me. The wall is cold and wet, but the heat between us sends me into a spiral of erotic emotions.My knees are going weak from being pressed against the wall. He moves my body and bends me over the small bench that holds our towels. I bite into one of the towels to keep from screaming as he grabs my hips and pulls me into him.Aspen is deep inside me, making me want to explode. I can feel my walls tighten around him as his rhythm gets faster. I push back into him, begging him to give it to me harder and deeper. Aspen slams into me hard as I begin to explode onto him. He buries himself in me deep as he cums inside me.He pulls out of me and turns me to him. He pulls me close to him and slides his tongue into my mouth. A tiny moan escapes me. I want him again. "Go to bed," Aspen says to me.I grab my clothes and dress quickly. I am throbbing from him being inside me. I want him, and I need him. I rush to my cot and get into the bed. I pull my covers over me and close my eyes to go to sleep.I hear him counting again. He stops in front of my cot and looks me over. He winks at me and then walks out the door. This is going to cause me problems; I just know it.Just as I am about to fall asleep, I hear Deanne come into the cabin. She stops in front of my cot. "Are you okay?" I ask her."Yes, I am fine. I am moving to the Alpha's house. I won't be seeing much of you anymore, Angela. Be careful, okay," Deanne says to me.The Alpha stands at the door, waiting on Deanne. She walks over to her cot and collects her pictures. He kicks my cot. "Go to sleep!" he yells at me. He grabs Deanne by the arm and drags her out of the cabin."I need ten women for the auction tonight!" Alpha yells at Archie and Aspen.Aspen and Archie come into the cabin. They walk around the cabin selecting women. Archie stops in front of my cot. "She is not like them; she won't pull much money, just grab the hybrids. The vampires want hybrids, not women like her," Aspen says."I think you are sweet on that girl," Archie says."Shut up, what about that girl you like in cabin three. Do you want to go get her?" Aspen growls at him.They grab five women from my cabin and go to the other cabins to grab the other women. Aspen cannot protect me forever. I have to find a way out of here.I lay down and close my eyes. I have to sleep. I have to keep my mouth shut and pay attention. There has to be a way out of here besides the auction.I drift off into a deep sleep. When I open my eyes, it is morning. Everyone is sleeping in again this morning. I do not move. I lay watching wolves move around outside my window. I see a strange-looking man. He walks up to the window and looks in at me."She is pretty; what about her?" he asks one of the wolves.The wolf comes into the cabin. He grabs me out of the bed and pulls me out on the porch. The strange-looking man grabs my face and looks me over."Tell me, honey, are you a hybrid?" he asks."A what?" I ask him."Are you a virgin?" he asks.I look at the ground. "No, sir, I am not," I answer him."Check her, and If she is a virgin, I will take her," the strange-looking man asks the wolf.Archie and Aspen come up as the man is looking me over. The wolf shoves me into Aspen. "See if she is a virgin?" he says.Aspen grabs me and drags me to the back. "You know I am not," I say to him when he has me in the back."I have to have proof, or he will come to check himself, and you do not want that. I am sorry, Angela," Aspen says.I start crying. I look behind Aspen and the strange-looking man, the wolf I do not know, and Archie is standing behind Aspen."Hurry up, I do not have all day," the strange-looking man demands.I start screaming and crying. I cannot help it. This attracts the Alpha. He comes growling into the cabin. "What is going on in here?" Alpha asks."Linus wants Angela, but he wants to know if she is a virgin," Aspen says to Alpha."Angela, have you ever been with a man?" Alpha asks me."Yes, sir, I have," I answer him.Alpha laughs. "She is telling the truth. She is a pain in my ass, but no liar. Besides, what would you do with her, Linus? She is not a hybrid," Alpha says to Linus."I was thinking she would be a sweet treat. I bet she tastes delicious. Can I have a little drink from her?" Linus asks Alpha.I ball up on the floor and scream at the thought of this strange man drinking my blood."Damn, Linus, I cannot handle all of this. Go grab one of the other girls. You do not want this nasty whore," Alpha says. He kicks me hard as I lay on the ground.Linus leaves with one of the wolves to find him a snack. Alpha grabs me and pins me to the wall. He licks my face. He is growling and breathing on me. "HMMMM, I did not know you were a little slut. Maybe I will take you home with me and break you in real good," Alpha says.I kick him as hard as I can in the balls. He drops me to the ground and begins beating me. "Stupid bitch!" he screams at me.A girl starts screaming from inside the cabin. Alpha stops beating me to run and see what kind of hell is going on inside the cabin."Get this damn vampire out of here and take the girl with him!" Alpha screams.Alpha stomps back to me, still curled up on the floor. "Clean this whore up, and I want her working her ass off today. You got that, Aspen. I want her chopping down damn trees. I do not want to see her back here until dark, worn out and exhausted!" Alpha screams at Aspen."Yes, Alpha," Aspen says.Everyone leaves Aspen and me in the back. The wolves gather up the other women and take them. We are alone in the cabin. Aspen gets a towel and wets it. He helps me sit up and washes my face."I am okay," I say softly."Are you hurt anywhere?" Aspen asks me."No, I do not think he got a good lick in on me anywhere," I say."Yeah, he did, but I do not see anything on you. You do not look hurt at all," Aspen says."I have always been resilient," I say to him."Resilient, my ass, you should be hurt, bruised, or something from all of that," Aspen says.Aspen looks me over, and there is nothing. "I knew there was something special about you. Do not let the Alpha find out. He will sell you to the highest bidder," Aspen says."There is nothing special about me, Aspen," I say to him.Aspen helps me to my feet. He kisses my forehead. "I think you are wrong about that. There is definitely something special about you," Aspen says to me.Aspen and I leave the cabin and start walking toward the woods. "Where are we going?" I ask him."Didn't you hear? We have to chop wood," Aspen says."We, don't you mean me?" I ask him."You really think I am going to make you chop wood?" Aspen asks me."I can help; I need to be tired when I get back," I say to him."I will make sure you are exhausted when I return you tonight. I can promise you that," Aspen says to me, smiling.We walk into a clearing. There are a few log cabins in a strange circle. "What is this place?" I ask him."This is where they have the auctions. We are going to chop some wood here, and then we will move on into the woods to the other cabins," Aspen says.I look over to see the Alpha standing by the cabin. I pick up an ax and start chopping wood while Aspen goes over to talk to the Alpha. Alpha is laughing and amused by me chopping wood. The two chat for a moment, and then Aspen returns to me."What did he want?" I ask Aspen."He told me to take you to the cabins at the edge of our territory and have you clean them all night, not to bring you back until morning," Aspen says."So that is my punishment, cleaning all night," I say."Yeah, it is. I have been instructed to make sure you work your ass off all night," Aspen says."I bet you will," I say to him."Get her out of here; I do not want to see her again for a while," Alpha screams at Aspen."Come on!" Aspen screams at me.I put the ax down and follow Aspen to take my punishment.Aspen POVI walk with Angela to the back part of our territory. I cannot lie; I am excited about having her to myself all night. "Have many cabins, is it and how dirty are they?" Angela asks me.I laugh. "Well, there are eight, and the cabins were filthy the last time Alpha was there, but they are all pretty clean now except for two of them. I can help you, and we will have the rest of the night to build a fire or whatever," I say to her."Why does Alpha think the cabins are dirty?" I ask."Because the cabins were, but I have been going up there working on them for a while at night when I was bored, but he does not need to know that," I say to her."Well, it looks like you saved me from some hard work, Aspen," Angela says."Yeah, it looks like you owe me big," I say to her.Angela smiles a huge joyous smile. "That looks good on you," I say."What?" Angela asks."That smile. You almost look happy," I say to her."It is hard to be happ
Angela POVAspen carries me into one of the cabins. I do not think this night can get any better. He lays me on the bed and takes me. The way he feels inside me as he pushes into me makes my body quiver.Our wonderful night turns into a nightmare quickly. Aspen is pulled off of me by Alpha. Archie told Alpha that something is going on between Aspen and me. Archie and another wolf back Aspen into a corner. I can hear them growling as I try to get away from the Alpha.He grabs me and pushes my legs apart as he prepares to take me. I kick, spit, scream and try to hit him. He is so much stronger than me. He slaps me hard across the face. I can hear Aspen struggling to get to me through the ringing in my ear.Alpha grabs me around the throat and begins to choke me. I cannot breathe. I feel him so close to me. "No!" I scream as he chokes me."Fuck!" Alpha screams and falls onto the bed. I wiggle out from under him and run out the door of the cabin. I grab my cloth
Angela POvI 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 you
Angela 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 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
