Tatina POV
I 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
Tatina POVI get up before Craig. I need to go over to the hotel and talk to Jayne before I leave with him. I slip into my clothes quickly. I gather my phone and purse.I rush over to him in the bed. I lean in to kiss him. He grabs my arm. “Where do you think you are going?” he says.“I am going to get my bag and talk to Jayne before we leave,” I say.He sits up in the bed. “I can send someone to get your bag. You do not have to get out. I can take care of everything,” he says.“I know you can. I did want to talk to Jayne before we left,” I say.He points to my phone, “Just call her,” he says.“Craig, she has been so kind to me. Don’t you think I should tell her bye,” I say?He relaxes. “You are right. Do you want me to go with you?” he asks.“If you want,” I say.“No No No, go ahead. I will order you
Craig POVI help my little princess into the car. I tip the valet and take the keys. It is time to take her home. I have to handle the bitches at the house. I have to get rid of Lila and the other Fairy. Then and only then I can start my life with Tatina. I wonder why she started playing this little game with me so easily. She came into my bed and said all the things I wanted to hear. I hope she isn’t deceiving me.I get into the car. I reach over and buckle her seatbelt. “Safety little lady,” I say.She agrees and lets me bucker her in. She has not really said much. She has followed me around and done as she is told. I like this. No, I love it. My little princess.I look over and she is sleeping soundly. Yes, rest up princess. Daddy has big plans for you tonight. Big Big plans. If I have to I will drug her while I get rid of the other two.As we pull into the driveway I hear her phone buzz. I reach over and take it from her hand.
Tatina POVI wake up groggy. I have such a fog in my head. I think he might have drugged me. I do not know why. I was being cooperative. I am doing just as Glenn told me to do.When Glenn took me aside he told me to the Craig baby me. I have never heard of such a thing. He told me to call Craig daddy that he would eat it up. How does Glenn know these things I wonder? I probably do not want to know. Today I have to figure out how to get to the basement and get the woman and myself out of here.I try to move but I cannot. What in the hell did he give me. I hear noise and the unlocking of my door. Did he lock me in here? That jerk. I lie still and wait for him to come into the room. He walks in quietly. He sits a tray down on the table.“Tatina, my princess, it is time to wake. You need to eat. Please wake and eat for daddy,” he says.Why is this idiot talking to me like I am a baby? Okay, Tatina just go with it. I rub my eyes and stir a l
Craig POVI leave my angel sleeping. This is going to be difficult. I thought by the things she was saying in bed the other night that this is what she wanted. Maybe I can convince her to give me this.I need her to be my baby, my little angel, my princess. I need her to want it too. I need her. She makes me want to be with her and only her.I wonder what exactly Glenn told her. I will ask her while she is still drugged. Maybe I can get the truth from her. I hated to have to punish but she needs to learn that I am the only person who is going to look out for her.I have to get rid of Lila and Jayne. I am sorry Jayne but you have got to go. You cannot be a part of this. I know Julie told you some things but you cannot be a part of the things that are to come.Now to take care of Draco, Lila, and the bitch in the basement. I rush down to the basement to check on things. I do not hear any screaming so she must be out. I may need to give
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
