THE VICTIMS CHAPTER TWELVE
I couldn't believe someone had just brought an entire mountain of food for me.In addition to the hot chocolate, there were items that I could identify, such as fried eggs, thick slices of white bread with REAL butter, sausage links, cinnamon rolls topped with frosting, bacon, and other things.Was Aric anticipating that I would finish all of this food?As I looked between him and the mountain of food in front of me, I was trying to think of a way to tell him that there was no way I could eat even half of what was in front of me, let alone the whole thing, when he let out a hearty laugh. As I looked between him and the mountain of food, I was trying to think of a way to tell him that there was no way that.He laughed as he drank from the mug of... blood he had in front of him and told her, "You don't have to consume it all." "Since you wouldn't tell me what your preferences were, I requested that they deliver you a sample of everything that had been cooked that morning."After you've

Aric could not take his eyes off his hands as he thought about the blood, her blood, that was trickling from his fingertips.I had no intention of causing her any harm.Angel was her name, he replied, his voice cracking with the emotion he was feeling. Since she was thirteen years old, I'd kept her, and she was more than just a pet to me; she was my closest friend.As he continued, he moved to sit cross-legged on the floor. "You see," he said, "when slaves reach the age of twenty-eight, our regulations stipulate that they must be disposed of in one of two ways." They are either delivered to a facility where they will be bled to death, and their blood will be added to our supply, or they are transported to a breeding clinic where they will be artificially inseminated an excessive number of times until they are unable to have children.He sniffed, unable to look at Liberty as he continued, "Angel was scheduled for the clinic." When she found out, she begged me to help her end her life o

When I was finally able to use the restroom, the idea that went through my head was, "I never realized a body could store that much liquid and not burst."As I washed my hands, I was astounded when the hot water started coming out of the faucet instantly.When I got home, it would take the water anywhere from five to ten minutes to get to a temperature that was even close to lukewarm, but here, the water was so hot that I almost scalded myself.And the soap, oh the soap, had a lavender scent with a hint of lime, which was very different from the lye soap we had back at the house. The soap I discovered beside the sink did not cause my hands to become brittle and dry like other soaps; rather, it left my hands feeling soft and smooth.Because I wasn't sure whether I should use the clean towels, I decided to dry my hands on the front of my shirt instead.For the sake of safety.When I opened the door to go back to my place at the table, I observed many human slaves running back and forth.

Aric worked through the night without being conscious that he had done so until he felt the daylight approaching. When he looked at the clock, he realized that he still had time to consume some meals and provide some nourishment for his pet before he was required to take a break.Before gazing across at Liberty, he stood and stretched out the muscle cramps that had plagued him for the previous day.Even though she didn't say a thing, he could still tell that she was unfeeling. Her lips and nail beds had a bluish tinge, and she kept rubbing her arms and legs to warm them up. Her skin was pale.After spending the entire day ignoring her, he began to feel bad and decided to feed her and then focus on buying her more suitable apparel.He continued to glance at her while he questioned, "Hungry?"Liberty did little more than nod while expending all of her strength to conceal the fact that she was trembling.Aric's voice can be heard on the phone saying, "Dinner, a negative, and something wa

As I stood in the bathroom, I recoiled in terror at the horrifying shade of pink that I had become.The velour sweatsuit was a fantastic fit, but it was pink! And not just any pink; it was shockingly bright pink.I'm talking about being able to see it in the dark from a mile away while wearing pink blindfolds.The socks, complete with their jingling bells, were the first to be removed from the pile.I eventually located a pair of nail clippers in one of the drawers, and after pinching and clipping my nails until my fingers hurt, I discovered that none of them were left.There were some things I was willing to get punished for, and snipping dozens of little silver bells from my socks was one of those things. To tell you the truth, I was frightened that Aric would be upset with me, but there were some things I was willing to get punished for.I steeled my nerves before reaching for the door, doing my best to ignore the pink nightmare that glared back at me in the mirror as I threw away

Aric sat back and observed Liberty eat her meal while she cleaned her mouth with the roll she had found and the remaining.After she had finished, Aric stood there waiting for her to perform the same thing he had just done.Liberty stood up as soon as she caught a glimpse of impatience in his gaze.While he was looking at her from below, he remarked, "Do you need to use the bathroom before bed?"She shook her head and moved towards her cage as she did so.Aric observed as she entered the building, her body visibly contracting in on itself as she took a momentary pause and drew a deep breath before continuing.As he pulled the door shut behind her, he gave some thought to whether or not it was necessary for him to really lock it.After coming to a conclusion, he chose to abandon the idea.Aric walked around the enclosure until he was standing in front of her, and then he waited for her to look directly into his eyes.He heaved a sigh and said, "I'm not going to lock you in," thinking t

The expression on Liberty's face changed when Aric took the collar and leash off the ground."I'm sorry about this," he continued, putting it around her neck and fastening it, "but pets without collars are food for anyone who wants them."'Even when we get back to Spokane, you need to make sure you have this on when you're not in my room or presence,' he explained, ensuring that the leather band wasn't pulled too tightly. 'Even when we get back to Spokane, you must ensure you have this on when you're not in my room or presence.Liberty gave a reassuring nod, attempting to calm her racing heart.It wasn't that she was truly afraid of Aric because he had done nothing to make her feel that way; on the contrary, she had no reason to be afraid of him. Her anxiety was triggered whenever she considered the possibility of leaving the protected environment of the lodge.After leaving and arriving back in Spokane, everyone could tell that she had not made it.People would find out, and eventual

When Aric's icy hand came down on my knee, I was startled and couldn't help but jump backward.After observing my response, he apologized, saying, "I'm sorry, I didn't want to startle you." You just looked unhappy."She sighed and wiped a tear from her pale face before saying, "I'm OK."Aric removed his hand and said, "You know," before adding, "you're a terrible liar."Liberty sniffed as she looked at him and apologized, saying, "I'm sorry, I was thinking about my mom." The past few days have been consumed by her concern for my well-being. I only wished there was a way to get the message across to her."When we get to town," he added, immediately taking his eyes off the road to gaze at her, "I will arrange for you to give her word that you are safe if you like." He continued by saying that he would do this for her if they reached their destination."Really?" I inquired, well aware of how my expression brightened.He nodded in agreement and turned his attention back to the road before

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
THE VICTIMS CHAPTER NINETY THREE
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
THE VICTIMS CHAPTER NINETY TWO
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
THE VICTIMS CHAPTER NINETY ONE
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
THE VICTIMS CHAPTER EIGHTY NINE
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
THE VICTIMS CHAPTER EIGHTY EIGHT
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 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
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, "
