THE VICTIMS CHAPTER EIGHTY ONE
"Liberty," a voice I was unfamiliar with, spoke to me, its tones rich and powerful despite having a strange accent.While floating in total darkness, I could not discern who had just spoken."Liberty," the voice repeatedly said as it reverberated in every direction.I yelled to locate the voice's origin, "I'm here," adding, "Where are you? I can't see you."It was barely over my shoulder when I heard a deep voice say, "Here," which sent chills down my spine.When I turned around, the most interesting-looking dude I'd ever seen stood directly in front of me.His eyes were the most shocking thing about him; they were swirling pools of dark brown that seemed to bore into my soul. He wore an ancient style of armor that was scarred and well-worn. His dark hair hung tight ringlets to his shoulders, pulled back by a leather strap. His beard was a mix of curls and plats that rested on his chest and seemed cut square at the bottom. His beard was pulled back with a strap of leather.I questione

Aric exhaled a sigh of relief as he witnessed the dawning of her eyes and spoke the word "liberty.""Hi," she said, flashing a warm and inviting grin that caused my chest to tighten."I wasn't sure if you were ever going to wake up," he said as he brought her hand to his mouth and passionately kissed it while tears ran down his face. "I wasn't sure if you would ever wake up."Liberty said, "I wasn't gone that long," appearing perplexed by the question.Aric looked into her eyes as he said the following: "Darling, you've been unconscious for practically an entire day."She looked at him and questioned, "A day?" with amazement taking the place of her earlier perplexity.As he got to his feet to offer help, he asked, "Are you able to sit up?"Liberty nodded as she sat straight in anticipation of Aric piling cushions behind her back and shoulders.He said, "How are you feeling?" while looking at her with worry in his eyes."I'm hungry," she acknowledged, her newly grown fangs falling down

A loud pounding at the door drew our attention away from the fact that we were still connected together as we sat there.Aric groaned and laid his head on my chest, caressing my breasts and lips before saying, "Fuck me." He was clearly exhausted."Didn't I just do that?" you could ask."I purred as I eased my way away from him while he whimpered in pain.I snatched the sheet from the bed, and Aric followed me close after me to the bathroom.As the banging continued, he yelled, "Just a minute," before opening the door.When we were in the restroom, I took great delight in wiping my fluids off of him, and I laughed heartily whenever I reached the delicate tip of his nose.He gasped for air and clutched the counter as his knees shook weakly. "You're being cruel on purpose," he said.I merely gave him a kind grin as I stood, planted a peck on his cheek, and then turned on the water in the shower.After removing the perspiration and other fluids that had been produced during the act of lov
THE VICTIMS CHAPTER EIGHTY FOUR
Leanor waited patiently for everyone in the conference room to find a seat before starting the meeting. She observed as everyone made their way around the room and sat down.Aric, Liberty, Emily, and the captain of her guard were seated to her left, and then some of her most outspoken and ardent admirers took their places behind them.To her right was a row of Lothaire's sycophants, faceless minions her husband had delegated over the years to carry out the responsibilities he had neglected because he was too preoccupied with having fun to do so himself.These creatures would have to demonstrate their allegiance to her son before they would be accepted.She stood tall and confident as she announced, "Lord Lothaire has passed away," and said, "Lord Aric is now the rightful ruler of the Northwest Territory."Aric whispered, "Mom," but his words were virtually obliterated by the roar that immediately followed.While swiftly standing, he pressed his mouth on her ear so no one else could he
THE VICTIMS CHAPTER EIGHTY FIVE
When Aric stated that he intended to marry me, I instinctively jerked back, and if I were to believe the look that his mother gave me, she wasn't exactly thrilled with the idea, either.I attempted to attract Aric's attention as he made his proclamations, but he was so focused on maintaining control that he never looked her way.After everyone else had left the room, Lady Leanor finally let out all of the pent-up frustration that she had been holding in. His mother and sister were the only other persons in the room."Why did you do that?"She snarled as she glared aggressively in his direction."To what end?""Aric inquired while displaying signs of bewilderment.You have just informed Liberty of your intention to marry her!She shouted at me while swinging her arm and said, "She used to be a pet!" And the toy of your paternal grandfather! You won't be able to win her over as your woman!"Hearing those remarks caused me more pain than anything else I'd ever been through. She was absol
THE VICTIMS CHAPTER EIGHTY SIX
Aric's dispute with his mother continued until he discovered that Liberty was no longer in the area.As he looked around the room, he noticed that she was nowhere to be found at that point."Mother," he replied, holding out his hand to prevent her from offering yet another scathing response, "I am going to marry her regardless of what you think. I love her!""Love is not enough," Leanor said angrily in her response.A voice came behind them and said, "Love is enough."As Aric turned around, he noticed Liberty standing in the doorway, her chin lifted proudly over her chest.As she proceeded, she moved closer to Aric and intertwined her hand with his as she stood next to him. "Januarius informed me that our love was extraordinary," she said. "If he believes in us, then what gives you the right to doubt us?""I know you think you..." Leanor paused, staring at Liberty with a suspicious expression on her face. "I know you think you..." "Did you say Januarius talked to you?"Liberty said, "
THE VICTIMS CHAPTER EIGHTY SEVEN
"My mum!" I said, startled to realize that since I had sent her the little letter, I hadn't given her a second thought.As I whirled around to face Aric in a state of terror, I could hardly get the words out.I choked out the words, "I have to get to her!" "I don't want her to learn from anybody else about what happened to me.I pleaded with him, "Please, Aric," as tears filled my eyes.He reached out to wipe the tears from my face as he said, "Of course, my darling. We can board the plane and be there in forty-five minutes."When I heard the word "plane," the recollection of the last time I had been on a plane with Lord Lothaire caused my legs' knees to weaken.When I started shivering because of the recollection, Aric grabbed me about the waist and held me close while he seemed to understand that he had made a mistake.Despite Januarius's gift of peace, the recollection horrified me. All the atrocities I'd been forced to endure at Lothaire's hands rushed through my mind as though th

Liberty followed Lady Leanor into a cozy sitting area close to the office where Aric was working.Leanor stayed standing as she gazed down on the younger woman who had been chosen as the companion for her son and gestured for her to sit down."Are you hungry?"she enquired, noticing that she was beginning to feel hungry.Liberty said gently, "No, thank you," while wriggling uneasily under the inspection of the more experienced vampire.After nodding, Lady Leanor walked to the other side of the room and picked a blood bag out for herself. After ripping it apart, she transferred the blood-red liquid into a nearby cup before returning to her seat across from Liberty.Leanor couldn't help but emit a tiny giggle at the other woman's puzzled expression.Her voice was filled with mirth as she remarked, "I despise the taste those plastic bags leave behind in my mouth." "Call me old school, but if it's not coming directly from the vein, I prefer to drink it out of a cup," you can say that abou

THE VICTIMS CHAPTER NINETY FOUR
The following morning, Liberty's mother came. She was saddened by the little details she knew about her daughter's ordeals, but overjoyed to learn that she was still alive. She embraced her daughter and her new husband, albeit with some reluctance.The newlywed couple's private apartment, located in a brand-new structure that Aric had selected as his seat of power, served as the setting for the day's festivities honoring them.The tower of suffering built by his father was going to be dismantled and lowered to the ground since this was already in the planning stages.Henry was given permission to transform Alfie, and a ceremony was arranged for them not long after his love awoke into his new existence not long after the ceremony was held for them.Two days after their hasty wedding ceremony, an announcement was made publically declaring the new Lord and Lady of the Northwest Territory. This notification was sent out by the law.Even though many of the lesser lords agreed with Lady Lea

When Aric's mother glanced at her son, completely disregarding my presence in the room, I couldn't help but nibble the inside of my lip nervously.Aric began by giving my hand a firm squeeze before rising to his knees and bending over his mother. "Mother," he said, "You did come to me earlier and tell me that Liberty was concerned that I might become like my father, did you not?""Well," Lady Leanor started, no indication that she was ashamed or trying to be deceptive, "sure I did since that's what she said."Aric continued, his tone becoming increasingly agitated as he vented his frustration, "You also insinuated that she had merely been using me until she could find someone with more authority to go on to.""What?"Emily inquired as she abruptly jerked herself upright, interrupting the conversation as her eyes swept over her mother, her brother, and me."Because she did," Leanor yelled at me while directing her murderous glare in my direction. "She leaped at the chance to abandon y

Aric took Liberty in his arms and led the way back to the chamber that he had staked a claim as their own.After temporarily leaving her to make arrangements for her mother's arrival, he returned to find Liberty standing naked under the stream of hot water coming from the showerhead.When he saw the scars that disfigured the previously smooth surface of her back, he couldn't believe that he had ever had any reason to distrust her.He undressed and joined her, then let his fingertips run over the scars his father had left in her flesh.While his arms were wrapped around her waist, he whispered into her ear, "For each and every one of these, I guarantee you a million wonderful moments."Liberty let out a contented sigh as she lay her back against his chest. She cherished the sensation of his strong arms surrounding her and protecting her at that very moment."Well," she continued with an invisible smile that suggested she was being playful, "you have eternity to do the work."Aric renew

When Aric looked down into my eyes, he muttered, "I know you worry, and I promise that with you by my side, I can cope with everything."I drew his lips back to mine and whispered the words, "I love you."I needed to feel him against me now more than ever. As I reached up, I fumbled around frantically, trying to undo the buttons on his shirt, and I was almost in tears since it felt like such a challenge.At long last, I could get it out of the way and get a feel for the velvety smoothness of his chest beneath my palms.Aric's hands were fumbling at the hem of my own shirt, pushing it up and over my head as I heaved a sigh of relief.After he freed his lips from the cloth, he kissed a path down my chin, going agonizingly down my neck and finally latching on to my nipple after pressing the cup of my bra down.I couldn't help but sigh in contentment as I ran my hands through his thick hair and gently cradled his head in my arms.I murmured, "Aric," with a longing for buildup buried deep
THE VICTIMS CHAPTER NINETY
Aric's determination was almost shaken when he saw the agony in Liberty's eyes, but he managed to keep it together.If his mother's statement was accurate, he has been led to believe that she lied to him during their relationship. She has exploited her body to win his love and ensure her own future success.It seemed as though the evidence had been staring him in the face the whole time, didn't it?Because he had more authority, she ended up being his father's plaything, but as soon as that strategy backfired, she instantly found a way to get back into his bed.Aric muttered an expletive under his breath as he watched the woman who had once been his darling struggle to stand."Aric," she pleaded, tears streaming down her stunning face, "Aric, please, let me explain."While he had her by the shoulders and was choking her, he spat, "My mother explained enough." "You are more than a deceitful person who took advantage of me.""I never once exploited you," Liberty said under her breath as

Before I can continue, I need a few moments to collect my thoughts and proceed.I was finally allowed to talk to Lady Leanor when I told her that Lord Lothaire had brought me here and that he had made me one of his slaves."Did he cause you any pain?"Aric's mother questioned with sadness and anxiety on her face.I could not stop the tears from falling as I said, "Yes, ma'am," but "in ways, I wish I could forget."Lady Leanor groaned as she took another sip from her cup and remarked, "He was a dreadful beast."I nodded in agreement as I wiped my cheeks and said, "Yes, he was."When I looked up, I sniffed and said, "You know, I always wondered how a guy as violent as your father could have a kid as great as Aric, and I think I know the answer.""He had you," I said as I stood up and maneuvered my way across the cramped room to embrace the other woman. "Thank you."She was perplexed as she questioned, "For what?"I conveyed it to her while gazing down at her and saying, "for your compas
