THE VICTIMS CHAPTER THIRTY TWO
As Aric entered the living room, he recoiled in horror at the scene that confronted his eyes.Josephine and a stressed-out Henry stood in the room, holding clipboards.The first thing we need to do," he overheard her remark as she scribbled on a sheet of paper, "is scrape off all of this horrible old wallpaper and paint this house in a brilliant red."She looked at her brother dead and said, "Not blood red, mind you." I'm referring to a shade of pink-red, the color of my go-to lippie.She proceeded to jot down notes as she said, "All this old furniture can go too."Leaning on a column at the entrance, Aric said, "Don't order anything yet."Josephine yelled, "Darling," as she pressed a clipboard into Henry's hands.She walked over and threw her arms around his neck, biting at his ear gently.She exclaimed, "Daddy phoned this morning and told me two excellent news," kissing his cheeks with lipstick.In response, Aric said, "Yes," and he took a few steps back.He wiped the red wax from h

While two people, a guy and a woman, went around the room on hushed feet, picking up the pieces of my shattered breakfast plates, I sat quietly in one of the recliners.I was tempted to approach them and inquire about Aric and my status as a slave, but I restrained myself. I wasn't a slave; I was a pet, and though the distinction between the two was hazy at best, I was certain that my existence was far superior to theirs.The most striking difference between us was our attire; I sat curled up in brand-new vampire garb while they wore baggy, deep-blue jumpsuits and uncomfortably-fitting work boots.Neither of them appeared to have eaten well in years, but I had been given mountainous helpings of exquisite food at nearly every meal.After they had left and the door had been secured again, my thoughts turned to what had been planned before Aric had been called away.Was I seriously going to engage in sexual activity with a vampire?When did it become acceptable?Human sex slaves did exis

Aric's recliner was where Josephine found her prey, curled up and trembling in fear.So you're the little whore, huh? As her sharp nail dug into Liberty's chin, she purred and made the girl glance up.Josephine looked at the human's pale complexion, emerald eyes, and jet black hair.The question: "Aren't you a lovely creature?" She inquired as her tongue licked her ruby lips and gently stroked the human's cheek with her free hand.Aric stepped through the splinters that were once his bedroom door and said, "Leave her alone; she's nothing. Nothing more than a pet I bagged in St. Januarius Hunt.Josephine said, "She's more than that," as she drove her nail deeper into Liberty's chin, threatening to skewer the girl if she didn't rise up. That's her scent all over your fingertips, and I can't get it out of my head.She said, "That musty fragrance of female secretions is obvious," as she walked clockwise around Liberty's body, her nail sinking into her flesh like onion paper.Once Josephin

I graciously accepted Aric's offer of assistance in standing up.Every breath hurt like a knife stabbing into my chest. He walked me into the bathroom and hoisted me carefully until I was perched on the counter.No matter how I positioned my arms to grab my sweater, I winced in pain as I tried to pull it over my head.Finally, I had to give up and let Aric try to remove it.The knitted cloth caught on several of my chest hairs when he raised it."Stop!" Due to the excruciating pain, I screamed and nearly passed out.Oh God, I sputtered, trying to push back the inky depths that were tearing at my vision.Aric responded, "Okay," and then left the room. I believe I'll have to end it. There seems to be no other option, in my opinion.Having come to the same conclusion, I gave him my assent, eager for this ordeal to finally be done.Aric retreated to me, a few centimeters of nail growth on his index finger.After seeing firsthand the razor-sharpness of a vampire's claws, I was confident he

Even though he could see that some of the slivers had been ripped out by the lace fabric, Liberty was so courageous that she scarcely made a sound when he took the cups of her bra away.Aric tossed the ripped underwear aside and recalled the pink buds on Liberty's breasts, which he had suckled just hours before.He was distracted from his duties when he overheard her question, "Is it bad?"No," he murmured, shifting his focus from her breasts to the rest of her bruised chest. But some of these are buried quite a ways.He opened a cabinet and took out a set of tweezers, some bandages, and some cotton balls.He raised an eyebrow at her and inquired, "Are you ready?"She smiled hesitantly, "Not really," but added, "If you don't take them out, I'm going to have to, and I'm not sure that would go well."Aric nodded his agreement and started using the tweezers.Despite every groan of anguish and hiss of misery, he dug out every last piece of wood.After removing debris from the incision, Ar

I held my breath and comforted Aric while he drank, cradling his head in my arms like a newborn.I suppose I could have let him summon a servant, but I preferred that he feed directly from me for reasons I can't even begin to fathom.The least I could do after he spent so much time and effort helping me remove the splinters was to offer him a drink. Never before have I heard of a master going to such lengths for their pet.His hands ran up and down my back as he drew me closer in his arms.The claws of his fingers dug into my back as he hoisted me off the floor.He pulled his fangs away from my flesh and licked the cut to seal it.As I laid my head on his shoulder, I felt his fingers ease off my back and begin making little circles on my skin.Can you take care of yourself? Because of Aric's question, I straightened up from where I'd been slouching because of dizziness.I finally dared to look at him and said, "I suppose so."How are you doing now? I looked into his ebony eyes and inq

It took about an hour to arrange for a new door to be installed and the room to be cleaned up to its usual standard.Aric decided to take Liberty for a stroll during the break to clear his head while the others worked.Even though it was cold outdoors, he felt warmer when she smiled brightly at the suggestion.She clapped her hands enthusiastically and exclaimed, "I'd love to!"Her grin wavered as she questioned, "But what about the sun?" How much would that hurt, if at all?Aric groaned and said, "I told you." "We vampires are more sensitive to sunlight than humans are, but that doesn't stop us from going outside at noon.When he saw that her excitement was making it difficult for her to remain still, he replied, "Put on your shoes, and we can go."Then she rushed to a nearby chair and yanked on her boots while giving him a peck on the cheek.When Aric saw that she was prepared, he offered her his collar. When he saw the happy expression fade at the sight of it, he almost decided not

When I saw a group of tiny white blossoms trying to break through the thick pine needles covering the ground, I bent down and brushed the pungent needles aside.After selecting a couple, I rubbed my hands together to release the flower's delicious, spicy aroma.I held out my cupped palms to Aric and said, "Here, sniff."He bent forward and took a smell, seeming doubtful.He then stood back up and added, "Spicy."I sniffed my hands again and told him, "It's phlox." "Once upon a time, my father owned a book about wildflowers. I read it about twenty times before he finally agreed to swap it."I wiped my hands on my knees, got to my feet, and continued my investigation.If I didn't find anything interesting, I'd glance to Aric for approval to continue exploring.Seeing his approval, I descended the steep hill toward the running stream. The road was in terrible shape as I emerged from the woods.To get a better look at the river, I sprinted over the cracked asphalt, enjoying the roar of th

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

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
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, "
