Mr. Craig POV
Tonight after the auction I am ending these auctions. I will turn everything over to Lila. I will tell Jayne everything and come clean. I will be honest with Tatina about everything wrong I have done, Hopefully, she will forgive me and allow me to love her. Something about her makes me want to do right. I have not been right since I lost Julie. I started these breeder auctions and now, Now I know how wrong I was. I was so wrong.
Knock at the door.
"Mr. Craig, the three are in the basement. I am getting them prepared. I will send you an email in about an hour with all the information," Lila says.
I acknowledge her. I need out of this. She leaves.
Losing Julie pushed me over the edge. I became something I should have never become. I became a crazy person. Tatina in a single moment has brought something out of me that I forgot existed. Even if she doesn't forgive me at
Lila POVMr. Craig thinks he is going to push me out and have me living in the streets. I will show him. I made the call and I will wait. I already have the auction deposits. The vampire authority can seize the bids. I am getting out of here with the deposits and my savings. I know people I can set up somewhere else. I can restart my own auction after everything settles. He is going to pay for trying to push me out.I have to check on the girls. The guys are too damn stupid to finish up the auction. I need everything to be perfect when the Vampire authority busts this auction up tonight. I go down the stairs to see if the idiots fed the girls."How are they?" I ask the idiot."I fed all three of them, gave them water, and Ralph check them. I couldn't do it," Kenu says."Well, sounds like you are on top of it. Can't say that about the other idiots we have working here. Results are
Tatina POVJayne and I arrive back at our hotel. I can't believe how much fun we had tonight. I am worried about Jayne’s friend coming to talk to us. I am worried about Mr. Craig. I have a bad feeling about Lila. I hope Jayne's friend will be able to help him."Jayne, Is that your friend?" I ask. I point to the man standing in the hotel bar.Jayne turns to look behind her where I am pointing. "Yes, that is Glenn," she says."Should we go talk to him?" I ask.Jayne looks worried. "Yes, we should," she says.We walk across the lobby to the bar to meet with Jayne's friend, Glenn. He is an old vampire. He fits in but you can tell he is an old one."Good Evening, ladies," Glenn says.Jayne and I sit down at the bar with Glenn. "Would you ladies like a drink?" he asks."Sure, I will take another hurricane," I s
Tatina POVI thought my life was finally getting better and here I am trapped in the middle of something I do not understand yet again. I am scared but I know I have to be strong. I have to figure out how I can help and just do it. Mr. Craig was so kind to me. Maybe he was only kind to me to get me in bed. Maybe he was planning to breed me and get rid of me.Jayne POVI only wanted to help Tatina and Craig. I thought by suggesting Tatina to Craig he would see something in her and maybe feel better. I know he has been hurting since Julie died, but nothing excuses this behavior. If he is hurting women I could never forgive him. My main purpose will be to help Tatina and to make sure she is taken care of. She doesn't deserve any of this. She doesn't deserve what her parents did to her or this. She will get the life she deserves. I will see to it.I look over at her in the other bed sleeping soundly. I k
Tatina POVI can’t believe I was able to sleep through the night after everything I was told last night by Glenn. Jayne seems worried about me. I will be fine. I was almost auctioned into being someone's breeder. How close I came to a life of hell. Now I have to find a way to help the vampire authority stop it. The same people who took me and auctioned me off to pay my father’s &nb
Craig POVI gather my things. I didn’t tell Jayne but I booked myself a room at the hotel across the street from the two of them. I plan to make things right. Lila came back this morning as nothing happened. She thinks I don’t know she is trying to expose me and the auction. I offered to give her everything but now I just want to get this behind me and shut everything down.The three women were auctioned off last night but unfortunately one of the women was not ready. Draco bought her and now he is pissed off. I made a deal with him to make sure to get her primed and ready for him. The things that include do not make me feel good about myself. I have to have her ready soon and get her out of the house before Tatina is back home. I need her here with me.I will play nice with Lila just until we take care of this little problem. As soon as all this is taken care of Lila is gone. I can take Tatina and maybe we could go somewhere else. We c
Jayne POVHe thinks he is being slick. I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt but I can see what he is now. I can see right through him. Tatina wants him to be innocent. I can see why she would need him to be. She wants a better life. I thought when I called Craig and begged him to bid on her that it would be for the best. I had no idea that he already had plans to bid on her. I had no idea he was buying women and selling their wombs to vampires.“So what do you ladies plan on doing tonight?” Craig asks. His phone is buzzing crazy.“We haven’t really made any,” Tatina says.“I figured we would walk around and see what we could find. I thought I would book a ride on the riverboat,” I say.“Sounds like fun,” Craig says. He looks at his phone. He looks distraught.“Everything okay,” I ask.“It is Lila. She is handling some business for me today,” he says
Tatina POVI lay next to him. I run my fingers across his chest. I want to know. I need to know everything. I am not sure if now is the time to ask, but I am going to ask. Being with him puts me in another state of mind. I am becoming as obsessed with him as he seems to be with me.I look up to him. His eyes are closed. He seems to be resting. I hate to ruin this moment.“Craig, I have to ask you about the auction you and Lila are involved in?” I ask.He opens his eyes. I can tell he is regretting this conversation.“I will tell you everything,” he says.“Did you torture women like me? Have you raped women? I want all of the story. Tell me everything,” I say.Craig sits up in the bed. “It is not a simple story,” he says.“Tell me everything,” I say.“We got involved. Me and Julie because Julie was unable to give me a child,” he says.“Ju
Tatina POVI stay with Craig all night. My plan is to go back with him today and help him tie up all the loose ends. I believe him. I believe he wants out.“I text Jayne and told her you are with me,” he says.I pull the covers up over me tighter. “Good, I do not want her to worry about me,” I say.Craig sits on the side of the bed. He begins brushing my arm softly. “You are too good for me,” he says.I rise up to kiss him. “I don’t know about that. Maybe we can be good to each other,” I say.I rub his arm softly. I lean in to kiss him. He meets my lips and gently nibbles at my bottom lip.“I want you again,” he says.I kiss his neck and whisper in his ear. “How bad do you want me?”He pushes me back onto the bed. He pulls the covers back to expose my naked body. He runs his fingers across my lips, down my chest, and begins
Draco POVTatina is terrified; hell, I am afraid. I am happy to see Renae and Lester here to help keep her calm and maybe put her mind somewhere else. Renae gets out of the car and is running straight into the house to see Tatina. Renae comes up to check on Tatina. I know it will be hard for Renae to see her like this. It is hard to see her, such a vibrant soul that Tatina is, and now she is weak. She will not be fragile for long; as her powers shift and her cravings grow, the doctor assures me that her powers will become stronger than ever after the babies are born. Her focus is not on her vampire transition or losing any of her identity as a fairy. Tatina is only focused on the two babies growing inside her, and as she changes, I can hear every thought in her head. She worries for them so much. It consumes her and makes it hard for her to care for herself. I guess that is most mothers."How is she?" Renae asks me
Tatina POVI awake in the bed alone and afraid. I feel strange, and maybe a little afraid of what is happening to me. I crave blood. It is like a burning desire that aches within me. I need blood. It is all I can think about right now and that loud thundering sound coming from within me. What is that? Why does it sound like there is a storm brewing inside of me?"Tatina, my love," Draco whispers to me from the bedroom door. I look up at him. He looks concerned and so devilishly handsome. I lick my lips and think Ummm I would love to drink from him. Blood, it is what I need, not sex, just blood!"I am so hungry, my love, and I hear this noise. It sounds like two thundering storms coming from within me. I am not sure what is going on with me. I am just so fucking hungry. I need blood. Please let me drink from you," I hiss at him.Draco opens the door and comes inside the bedroom. He looks more concerned as he comes into the room
Draco POVTatina is still asleep when I get out of bed this morning. She was wild and on fire for me last night, which I enjoyed every second. We finally went to sleep when the sun was coming up this morning. I lay with her for a few hours and then decided to get things ready for our visitors today.Tatina has a million ideas for Lester and Renae. She is excited that they are taking over the hunt. If there is anyone that carries on in our place, it is Lester and Renae. I hope Tatina is serious about staying out of the hunt. We cannot put a child in danger. I will not do it. I will live for her and our child. I will do whatever is necessary to keep both of them safe.I go down the stairs and finish uncovering furniture. I can speed around and clean the house faster than she can. I cannot have her getting sick from the dust in the house. I finish the living room and go into the kitchen. I clean it up and then remember that she has to eat. I
Draco POVTatina and I arrive at a small cabin in the mountains. Lester was able to secure us a cottage when I called to tell him that Tatina was pregnant and we needed a place long term. Lester made a few phone calls for me and managed to find a nice big cabin far away from everyone.Tatina wanted off the radar, and this is definitely it. Tatina gets out of the car and walks around the cabin to see what it has to offer. "There are no neighbors," Tatina says."Nope, what am I going to eat?" I tease her."Me, I guess," she says, laughing."Lester is bringing up extra blood bags for me when He and Renae come up tomorrow," I say to her."Well, you can still eat me if you want," Tatina says, laughing. I love to see her laugh and be happy. This is the most comfortable I have seen her in a long time.I run over to her and pick her up. "I will gladly eat you anytime," I say. I nibble at her neck and carry her to the do
Draco POVWe all go back to Ronica’s place to gather ourselves and figure out what to do next. I have to get Tatina straight so we can get the hell out of hell. I am done with New Orleans and the vampire authority. I am sure she is too. We no longer have to worry about Samuel or Tara, but I still want to get her as far away as possible. I am sure there are pieces of Tara all over the yard from the explosion, along with a few people that were bidding on the auction. We were able to get everyone out safely that mattered. Lester called the authority building and reported the explosion at Horace’s place. I am sure there will be a cover-up. Samuel’s name will not be tarnished. The vampire authority would never take the fall or let one of their own take the fall. I could care less. I have Tatina back, and nothing else matters. She is my life.I take Tatina into the bed and breakfast. I take her straight to our room. I lay her on the b
Draco POVI awake early so I can get everything together before Tatina gets out of bed. I get out of bed quietly, so I do not wake her. I turn on the bathroom light to dress. I go to let Tatina know that I am going to check on Natie after I dress. She will need a few moments to wake up and get her a cup of coffee or a coke. I pull back the covers, and Tatina is not in bed. She must have gone to check on Natie. I cannot believe I did not realize she got out of bed. I must have slept hard last night. I dress quickly and go to Natie’s room to check on Natie and see if Tatina needs anything. I open the door, and Natie is gone. No Natie, No Jessie, and No Tatina, where is my wife? What the fuck is going on? I run to Lester’s room. I bang on the door. He opens the door in a panic.“Renae is gone,” he says as he opens the door frantically. Lester and I go to Ronica and Jessie's room to see if maybe they are all in there for some
I awake in the middle of the night. I cannot sleep. Draco is lying in the bed beside me and sleeping so sound. I have not seen him sleep this sound in a very long time. He deserves the sleep. Even though they are no longer human, Vampires still need sleep occasionally. It is a myth that they do not sleep. They do not need as much sleep as humans or hybrids, but they do not need some sleep here and there. Draco has always cuddled me at night, even if he does not sleep, but seeing him sleep so peacefully gives me a lot of comfort.I check the hotel room mini-fridge for a water. I want something, maybe a coke and some ice. I grab the ice bucket and quietly slip out of the room. I walk down to the ice machine and start filling up the ice bucket when I hear a strange noise and a yelp. It almost sounds like a person, but it is weak. I listen for a moment, and the sound stops.I take the ice bucket, walk over to the Coke machine, and get a coke out of i
Lester POVI leave the authority building; I need to get home to Renae as quickly as possible. I do not want her stressed out worrying about me when she should only be concentrating on her own recovery. I am still in shock over Samuel and Tara, but too many people are saying it is true now. Renae will be devastated if she is not already.I decided to drive myself. I do not want an authority spy watching me, and no one needs to know where I am going or why. I do not think I have driven since I became a high member of the council. I am sure I will be fine. It cannot be that hard. I get into one of the black sedans. They can trace my whereabouts in these, fuck. I pull out my phone and call a cab. I go to the side street to wait for the taxi. Guess I will not see if I can still drive just yet.As I am waiting, I notice a woman that looks a lot like Tara looking at me. She is watching me. I pretend not to see her. No way in hell I am taking her
Draco POVTatina and Ronica leave me alone with my thoughts. I know I am having a lot of ideas right now. Mostly about how I would like to kill Samuel for what he has done. He is supposed to be protecting people, not making money off of these people. The bastard needs to die, but that would force Tatina and me to go on the run. There has to be a way to make him pay for all of what he has done to these women.The lady starts moving around in the bed. “Where am I?” she asks grumbling and trying to figure out if she is safe or not.“You are safe,” I say.She looks over at me, terrified. “I am not going to hurt you. I am Draco. My wife Tatina is here also. I can get her if you are afraid of me,” I say to her calmly. I know seeing a vampire after being held by one can be a little overwhelming.“Tatina is here. Can I see her? I have heard stories about her,” she says.“Ye
