Craig POV
I go up to check on my precious angel sleeping. I need to check and see if she needs anything. I unlock the door to her room. I peak in and she is still out. I think I will make her a bottle and rock her a while.
I go down to the kitchen and look in the cabinet. There is one bottle left from my collection with Julie. I will get Tatina her own but for today this will work. I run hot water over it and scrub it really well.
I look in the refrigerator to see what I have delicious that she will not fight me over. I took out watermelon juice. I pour the juice into the bottle and screw the nipple on tight.
As I walk out of the kitchen Lila is standing in my way.
“What?” I ask her.
“Draco is having no issues from what I can hear,” she says.
“Don’t be a perv. Leave the man alone. He is paying big money for her,” I say.
“Nice to see you are back to yourself. There for a minute, I
Tatina POVHe leaves me finally. Why in the hell did Glenn text me? I wonder what it said. I have no idea what to do or how do I feel. I feel ridiculous. He is shoving bottles in my mouth and putting me in diapers. How am going to help the woman in the basement if I am locked in here?He will never trust me now. He keeps giving me this medicine that is making me feel funny. I cannot lose my focus. I have to find a way out of this.He will be back soon to check on me. I am scared. I am confused. I am trapped. I can play along. He is planning to leave with me tonight and force me to marry him tomorrow. My only chance is to run when we leave tonight. There has to be a way to escape.If I am really good and play along with his stupid game then maybe I can keep him from drugging me again. I cannot move. What is he giving me?I am going to try to reach for my phone. It is so close. I cannot hold my eyes open. I have to reach. I have to get my phone
Jayne POVI have not heard from Tatina. I am worried sick. When I try to call her phone it goes to voicemail. I am going to the house to get her. This has to end. It will end today.I take out my phone and call Craig, he does not answer either. I will text him.*Hey! I am coming by to see Tatina later*I wait patiently to hear from him. After five minutes he responds. *No visitors today. Come tomorrow*This is not good. I call Glenn to try to get his help. No damn answer. Someone has to do something. We have put her in danger.Glenn finally texts me back. * We are going in tonight to get her. Stay put*They better get her out of that house before something bad happens. I have a very bad feeling about this.I cannot take it. I am going to get her with or without the help of the authority. This is on me. I put her in danger. I thought this would be a good thing for her and him. I was so wrong.I gather my purse and keys. I
Draco POVMan, she is one hot little fairy and now she has to let me take her on a date. I will show her a good time. Maybe charm her right out of her corporate pants. Yummy.“What was that about?” Lila asks.I turn to see the minion of Craig behind me being nosey as usual. Why does Craig keep her around?“I do not think it concerns you, Lila,” I say.“Sorry, Draco,” she says.Nosey little bitch. She needs to mind her business.“Just do what I asked. Get my prize out of the house now. I want her loaded and on her way to my house within the hour,” I tell her.“I will get the guys on it. It might take longer than an hour,” she says.This infuriates me.“Why? Pick up the box throw it in the van and start driving. I want her to be there when I get there. I expect you to personally make the ride with her. Got it!” I demand.“Yes sir,&r
Draco POVI pull into my drive. There is no van and no minions. Either they have been and gone or Glenn got them. I have not received a text from anyone. Not even Jayne.I get out of the car and go around to help Tatina. I open the door and scoop her up. She is still so weak. I take her into my home. I take her directly to the guest room. I lay her on the bed still wrapped in the blanket. I enter the guest bathroom and begin running a hot bath for her. I have got to clean her up.I leave the water running and go to retrieve her. I undress her very easily. She is covered in bruises. I remove the diapers. What has he done to her? There is not a part of her body that is not covered in bruises or blood. There are marks from a belt all over her.I carry her to the tub. I place her in the water. She jerks as I lay her in the water. I keep my arm behind her head. She is still out of it. I wash her body carefully. The dried blood and feces that coats her body is
Tatina POVMy entire body hurts. I am so weak from the drugs. Here I am a guest in a vampire's home. He is being kind, but I cannot forget he also has someone in his basement. I cannot wait to hear the explanation for all of this.Poor Jayne. She tried to help me and look where it lands her on the run. I bet it was Glenn. Why did Glenn pretend to help me or tell me to do those things only to text me and set off my own personal hell?The things he did to me. The way he hit me. The way he raped me repeatedly. I soiled myself over and over. The smell of my bodily fluids all over me while he was pounding into me. Then beat me for not enjoying it.Those stories of how he loved his precious Julie. Lies Just all Lies. I hope he is dead. I hope he can never hurt another woman again. I wonder if any of it was true. I hope someone kills Glenn too.I ate everything Draco provided me. I wonder why he is being nice. What does he stand to gain for helping me? Wh
Draco POVThere is only one person who can help Jayne. I hate to even go down that road. It is a risk I will have to take. Tatina needs her. I can keep her and Aurora safe for now but they cannot stay here forever.I pull my phone out of my pocket and I scroll down to find the name Sin. I hit the contact name to send a text.*Urgent. Jayne is missing*It will be a long wait but if anyone can find her Sin can. She is good at her job. Her job is finding people who do not want to be found. I hope I am never on her bad side.I pull out my laptop while I wait to for Sin to text me back. I check the underground auction sites to see if Lila is going to continue to operate under Craig’s name. I select the favorite tab and click on the site. The site is blacked out. Good. At least that is a comfort, another site taken down for now.I will never kill all the sites or rescue all the fairies but I have done my part. Let them think I am evil. I do
Tatina POVI lay on the floor beside the tub watching Aurora suffer. I cannot believe what I am watching. For a brief moment I felt happiness. Now I lay here on the floor watching my new friend covered in ice and blankets trying to cool her fever.I don’t have a complete understanding of what has happened. Draco did not explain much only that she was pregnant by a wolf and very sick. His sister. How hard it must have been for him to watch his sister die like this?Aurora whimpers. I reach for her. She cannot die. I need something good in my life. That is selfish of me. I want her to live. I want to see her make a life beyond the horror she and I have experienced.“You to have to survive the night,” I say to her.I take her hand and hold it. I cannot lose her. What if I lose her and Jayne? I have to have faith in Draco. I am putting all my trust in him that he will save the two of them.Aurora continues to shift her bo
Two years laterDraco POVTatina has struggled so much over the last few years with everything that happened to her while she was with Craig. She has never went into much details about those nights she was with him before I could rescue her. She has consumed herself in her work.She works day and night trying to find auctions to shut the shit show down. I work by her side mostly. I did not go with her a few months ago. She went into a auctioneers house. What she found pushed her to work harder. She pulled three women out. Only one survived, and she was left permanently blind. After that day Tatina has worked harder than ever to stop the auctions.I think our greatest victory came when the vampire authority outlawed auctions. Underground auctions, which have always been illegal now carry the death penalty. Anyone found operating an underground auction will be burned to death.I sit this morning waiting for her to come back from her hunt last night. She want
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
