Lucian's POVI was already restless from her blood and I wanted more. It took a lot for me not to drain her because I knew that she'd die. She was barely able to survive from the first drain. How would she survive the second bout?She was talkative, and it was very annoying to me because it made me feel like a jerk, which was a weird feeling for me. She had a problem with comprehension.She hadn't reacted the way I had expected, and I was a bit impressed.She wanted to know about my kind, to know whether we were going to drain her. Well, she was wrong about that because she was my pet, and I wasn't letting her go.Her blood was pure and sweet and could get addictive. I wanted all of it, to the last drop. I should have bled her in a bag instead of consuming it all at once.I would need it in the next three days, and I was sure that I would get it."You're smiling." She muttered and I stared at her in annoyance. If only she knew my thoughts, she would run for her life. I was tired of te
Naomi's POVMy eyes fluttered open when I smelt the distinctive smell of my captor or buyer. I think the befitting title was buyer because there was a way he was acting that made me feel very anxious. If I wasn't scared of him before, seeing the amount of people he had in this disgusting area made me change my mind. He was very wicked, if I did say so myself. I would rather have nothing to do than remain in this godforsaken hellhole.He took long strides toward me while I managed not to expel my intestines. "I see that you have become calmer. I know that it's not always easy seeing what you know right now. How do you feel?" He inquired, but I felt like bashing his face against a wall and redesigning everything that I knew about him.That was if I had the strength. I don't want to have to see this man anymore. After draining me, he took me to a slaughterhouse slash dumping site. The smell emanating from each cell was enough to cause me to puke out my intestine.Did anyone know that he
Naomi's POVThe next thing I heard was the sound that was becoming very familiar after being in there for too long. The sound of the monitors beeping loudly and all I could do was to just relax and stop moving. Having been in a state where one's life and everything about one wasn't intact, the best thing that one could do for him or herself was to just take life as it came."She's not responding to treatment." I heard an unfamiliar voice say. I was tempted to mutter that I was awake and could hear them, but I decided against it because it was better that way for me than to tell him that I was alive. He might want to bleed me more.The funny thing was that I wondered why they didn't know. The heart monitor should have been normalized by now unless there was something wrong that I wasn't aware of or something else that's stopping me from actually being awake. "I need to feed. I don't care if she's awake or not. It's even preferable that she's under the meds because that bitch is a piec
Lucian's PovThis was the most heady slave that I had been unfortunate to buy. She was the most stressful person I have had to tame and, if truth be told, she was just here for a few days and was already turning things around. While I was lenient enough, Travis felt like something was wrong with me. I saw it in his gaze, but he didn't have the guts to challenge me about it. They would perish.I stalked toward her. Challenging people was my favorite pastime. The only difference between us was that I was on top of the food chain while she was at the bottom, which she failed to realize. Her heart was beating fast as I approached, but she kept staring ahead, not breaking eye contact with the wall.When I reached her bed, I took her chin in my palm and stared at her with a smirk on my face. I hoped that she was ready for whatever was coming already because it was going to be a bit stressful and I wouldn't take long to make my intentions known to her. It wasn't just for food only, I was he
Naomi's PovWasn't it weird that I found myself transported to a fine room which was beyond my imagination. "I was waiting for you." A voice spoke and I turned immediately.Emma was standing close to the door in a stiff way watching me and I felt a bit scared. Why the hell was she staring at me that way? "How are you feeling?" She asked me. I watched her carefully. "Are you talking to me?" I asked her and she nodded softly. "Isn't your master going to be mad at you for leaving him and what not? I don't want to be the reason behind your problem with your master," I replied.She shot me a blank look before coming towards me. I backed against the headboard as my eyes roamed over her face. "How's your neck?" She replied and I didn't say anything.My hand shot into my neck and discovered that it wasn't too painful, and it was surprising to see that I didn't have any form of bruise on my neck or what not."You're fine. I hear that you've lost a lot of blood," She said. "Yes, it's your bos
Naomi's PovI was left to myself for the greater part of the day, hence I decided to find my way around the house. One of the limiting factors was the fact that I didn't have much time to be able to inspect the house. I just wanted to mark the bearing of the house so that I could run away one of these days.Continuing down the long hall, I turned to the right where my instincts told me that it would be. It turned out that I was right. As I kept on moving toward the length of the hall, I turned again and discovered a long staircase. One thing was baffling, silence stretched like a band over the house, casting its net upon it and almost suffocating me. What kind of life were they living here? Another shocking thing, the house was in darkness. Apart from the light coming from the window, the rest of the light was lit by an artificial supply. These people were walking corpses. I didn't think that I could live all the day of my life without seeing the sun and being normal, but I guess th
Lucian's POVI watched how she crept stealthily out of the house and all the drama she was putting up with my pets. They weren't tamed, they only listened to my instructions, and they knew every member of the house, especially Emma. It was a tactic for people to become relaxed and misbehave so that they get bitten.Those lions should have attacked her the very first time that she attempted to move, but I guess they were also as intrigued as I was by her. She tried to make it down that far. I guess it was adrenaline at work."She should be happy that she's not yet killed." Travis muttered beside me and quickly ended that nonsense because of my glare. "Sir, what do you think I should do concerning the people that came a few days ago?" "Kill them all if they return." "Okay, sir." He replied with a wicked grin and I rolled my eyes at him. "I will see to it." He promised. Travis was swift to violence and I wondered where he was raised because it was concerningEven I, who was the head of
Naomi's PovA slap woke me up from my sleep and I stood, "Wake up!" The person said. The hand was gravelly and hard. It was almost as though they lifted weights every day. I came in contact with a man who hated my guts and existence. He was my greatest enemy, but I wasn't his fan either, so it was a balanced equation. You're not thinking about running away, are you? My master is not around, so I'll do whatever I like with you.I thought that he was talking about sex and what not, but he scrunched up his nose, Who wants to be with a public hole? I'll kill you myself and plant your body close to the lions for them to devour. That way, your special wish is granted. He grinned and I stared at him. He was very callous, and I wished that I had never had the misfortune to meet such a cruel and wicked soul."You're a bastard." I retorted and he shrugged. "You're not even ashamed that you're working for a killer. I guess you're birds of the same feathers."He grinned wickedly at me. "I'm pro
Naomi's PovLucian had gotten a call from Bruno's brother the next day, and he had accepted that they would give Bruno a befitting funeral, which Lucian had started making arrangements for. He had told his brother to inform their families and friends, including the people that Bruno had worked for. Lucian made sure that he had chosen one of the best cemeteries in the country, and had made sure he was able to buy a building solely dedicated to Bruno for being a hero and saving his life.As Lucian did this, it seemed like he felt a form of unease wash away, and he was able to breathe again. Before this time, he had always felt a pang of guilt and anything he slept. He had always seen Bruno in the dark pleading to him for help, but there was absolutely nothing that Lucian couldn't save him any longer. At times, Lucian told me that there were cases where he had forgotten that Bruno was dead.To fulfill his promise, Lucian made sure that he did everything possible to give Bruno a befittin
Lucian's PovTravis and I had sat down in the sitting room as we talked about the fact that Bruno's brother had started searching for him.He only knew that his brother imported goods from other countries, but they didn't know who exactly he worked for. He had noticed that his brother hadn't been picking up his calls for days, and he decided to search for him.Travis explained that his brother had sat at the building where Bruno used to work to look for him and search around to see if anyone knew the whereabouts of Bruno.He wasn't aware of everything that had happened that night, but he knew that something bad had happened to Bruno.I couldn't hide my sounds as I stared at Travis. I didn't know if it was right to just go ahead and inform him that Bruno was dead, but I didn't know if that was the best thing to do. I didn't know how his brother was going to receive the news, but it wouldn't be nice to watch him all day coming to the building to search for Bruno, even though we knew tha
Alexander Pov“I hope you had a nice time with your sister,” I asked, staring at Laura, who sat in one of the guest rooms.Just as I had instructed Madonna not to take her back to the cages, she needed to be fed well and cleaned well, so that in the coming days she would still look presentable to the buyer. “Yes, I did,” she responded as a tear escaped her eyes. “So why then do you still cry ?,” I asked as I moved closer to her. “I do not want to be sold anymore, I just want to be with my sister,” Laura said as she knelt down beside me. “What's all of this, you do not dictate if you are being sold or not. " I decided that, and nothing or no one counters my word. " There's nothing you can do about it, Laura, you can't change a thing, like I said, but you are here to fetch me some handsome money”, I responded as I stared at her.“I beg you, she is scared, she doesn't want me to leave,” she said as she pleaded for mercy.“I think I made the mistake of making you see her the other nig
Naomi PovLucian opened his eyes slowly as he stared around. He had another nightmare. This had been Constance ever since he got back that night. He had always seen Bruno whenever he slept in pain, crying out to me to help him, but every time he tried to help him, he just disappeared into the air. He sat up on the bed and stared around the room. It was morning again, but I could see how he couldn't stop thinking about all that had happened two days ago. It felt like it was real every time he thought about it.Travis knocked on the door as he walked into Lucian's room, where I stood close to him. He bowed his head as he greeted him before moving close to Lucian. “How are you feeling today master,” Travis asked with a smile on his lips.“I am very much better, thank Travis,” Lucian said, smiling at him. “I am glad you are getting better, sir,” he said with a smile on his face.“What about Marcus?” I asked, turning to him. “Marcus is good too, it's just that he is still a bit too we
Alexander's PovMadonna climbed up the stage majestically as she swayed her waist, seductively revealing her butts to the crowd. She then handed the documents to me on stage.I smiled, looking at Madonna. She must have thought that she was part of the girls that wanted to be sold off tonight,However, I knew her too well. She was indirectly scanning the room for a potential customer that would go down with her after the auction this morning. I grabbed the documents and lifted them up, showing the entire people in the crowd how authentic my document was.They all cheered on as they began to clap their hands loudly, no jokes. They were enjoying it all.I returned my gaze to the buyers again as I smiled, “This document, you should go through it, and sign under the category that you have fallen under,” I said, smiling widely.One of my subjects collected it from me and handed it to the man who wanted to buy Laura and Naomi for thirty million dollars.As soon as he was given the document
Lucian's PovAccording to what Naomi had told me, she had revealed that Travis had struggled to carry me on his back and as soon as he got to the bedroom, he dropped on the bed. Naomi also explained that she was in my room searching for some things when Travis dropped me on the bed. I knew she must have run quickly and held one so tight.It was exactly two hours since I was unconscious. I still laid on the bed without moving my body. Suddenly, I opened my eyes, and screamed out loud as I raised my head.I wasn’t in a coma, but I had still not slept like that for years, and it felt like as soon as my eyes opened, there was something that changed inside of me.My eyes darted around the room and began to pant out loudly. This was exactly when I literally saw the faces of the people that were around me. Most likely, I was able to recognize Travis and Naomi. “You should calm down Lucian,” Naomi said as she moved closer to me.Although I couldn't hear them well, it seemed like I was begin
Naomi's PovI had literally witnessed this every second till the break of the day as I stared at the clock in my room not able to get some sleep through the night. I was worried and I couldn't hide it.I was worried that something bad might happen to Lucian. I was worried that I didn't know what more Lucian was hiding from me. I was worried that Lucian still hadn't healed, and it was obviously a sign of danger.Furthermore, I rolled from one end of the bed to the other part as I tried to sway away the thoughts and get some sleep, but it wasn't just working.Not only that, but I wish I had gone along with them. It had been several hours since they had left the house, but there was no sign of their return. I had walked closer to the glass window in my room several times when I heard the horn of a car around.I had also been calling them several times, but they were not answering their calls. I had wondered how important the issue was that had left them not answering their calls. I had
Lucian PovThe man didn't speak a lot, it was just a few words. Although, I wasn't able to hear it clearly, However, I staggered and the next thing I saw was the man opening the door for Travis and me to get in.Well, I honestly should have been skeptical about the place, but I wasn't. It was just a relatable moment that someone knew there was nothing you could possibly do for yourself. At that point, anything was going to be accepted.As I walked into the room, I noticed that it wasn't just a room, it was something unexpected, just like the frontal view of the building looked ancient, but the inside of the house was a totally different thing.It was different. I couldn't describe it, but was confidently sure that it was different. I could still see even when my eyes seemed blurred at the moment. I also knew it was the effect of the poison that had caused me not to see well.I lifted my hands, as I tried to rest on some of the things around the room so that I would not fall off.I had
Alexanders PovWhat kind of game was this, who was playing games with whom ? I muttered silently as I looked at the man.“Who did you say you want?” I asked as I took a step closer, trying to hear the name he was going to call out again. “I want Naomi Stevens,” he pleaded as he smiled. The people in the crowd stared at me as they wondered what they were trying to say. They had all expected me to go in and get Naomi Steven. I stepped closer, scrutinizing the man. Naomi Steven had been sold to Lucian's Vlod; it was impossible for her to appear here.Yet, my gaze lingered on Laura, standing on the stage, her heart racing. This was a bad day, made worse by this crackpot's claim."I don't understand," I said, my voice firm. "What do you mean?"The man's expression turned serious, his tone aggressive. "You're not listening. Did you not see the records of her sale months ago?"I narrowed my eyes."I'm not blind. " I saw it clearly, the man said as he turned and let out a bark of laughter
