The Vampire King's Breeder

*Lotus POV*

I stood at the back of the stage, gripping tightly to the hem of my dress, my whole body shook with fear of the unknown, I watched other girls being auctioned and each time someone buys them, my heart tightened with fear knowing it'll soon get to my turn and I'll have to be sold off to one of these monsters.

We, humans, have been enslaved by these monsters called vampires, slowly, they're taking over our world and we humans are starting to go extinct, we're being used as a blood bank for the vampires and I've watched many die by their hands and one of those people are my parents.

I was only five when our village was attacked by the vampires and I lost both my parents in that attack, ever since then, I and many people were taken by them and turned into their slaves, our blood has been drained several times and I wonder why we're all still alive.

Each day I watch and see how merciless they are towards us humans, and my hatred for them only grows the more, I curse them secretly each day and wish that a day will come when they'll all vanish and we can have our peaceful world back, a world free of these monsters.

Why were there even vampires in the first place? They weren't meant to be here, these monsters shouldn't have been made in the first place.

The voice of one of the supervisors for the merchandise that was ready for the auction was scolding some slaves and when I raised my head a little to get a clearer view of what was going on, our eyes met.

The lust in his eyes made me want to puke. This man was fond of abusing so many slaves and I wasn't an exception. I knew he had an interest in me but he couldn't do much to me for fear of damaging his precious goods.

He stood still, staring intently at my body and the frustration on his face was visible. After what felt like ages to me, he finally left.

The moment he left, some of the slaves began to discuss who they might be sold off to, I wasn't paying much attention until they mentioned that every person. The Vampire king.

My whole body went cold with fear, I silently prayed to my dead parents. I pray he wasn't present and he wanted a slave.

"Oh no," I muttered as I felt a cold shiver run down my spine.

I had always heard rumors of him being cold, heartless, ruthless, and merciless. No slave would want him to buy them due to his crude ways and being the only human here that's left to be auctioned, what chances do I have that he won't pick me if he was present.

I tried my best to not show my fears and keep calm, but deep down, I was silently praying and hoping to not get picked on by him.

Soon, I heard my name being called loudly by one of the supervisors who was also in charge of the auction. I would want nothing more than for the earth to open up so I can gladly crawl inside.

The moment I dreaded is finally heard. I forced my legs to walk as I went on stage.

The light shone down on me and all the men began screaming and bidding for me. It wasn't a surprise that I was the most desired by the vampires because of my delicate skin, but I had no idea why they were fighting to buy me.

The auctioneer called out the starting price for me, "We have a beautiful young lady here, starting bid at $10,000."

The men in the crowd began placing their bids, "I bid $15,000!"

"I offer $20,000!" another man shouted.

The price continued to rise as more men joined in the bidding, and my heart sank with each new offer. I couldn't believe that I was being sold like an object, and I had no idea what my fate would be once I was bought.

Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, a deep voice boomed across the room, "I offer $80,000!"

The room fell silent as all eyes turned towards the man who had just made the shocking bid. I looked up and saw him sitting in a far corner of the hall, his eyes fixed on me.

The auctioneer was taken aback by the sudden increase in price, "Ladies and gentlemen, we have an offer of $80,000 for our lovely young lady here. Do I hear any more bids?"

The other bidders were stunned into silence, realizing that they couldn't possibly compete with such a high offer. I felt a sense of relief that the auction was finally over, but at the same time, I couldn't help feeling terrified of what was to come next.

"And that's it. Lotus has been sold to the Vampire king, Seth Cassius for $80,000." the auctioneer declared, bringing the hammer down on the table.

I felt the remaining tiny bit of my life crumble right in front of my eyes as Seth Cassius, the Vampire King, walked away without sparing me a second glance. As I stood there, tears streaming down my face, I couldn't help but wonder why that man had been willing to pay so much for me. I had never felt so alone and helpless in my entire life.

As the Vampire King, Seth Cassius, walked away from the auction hall, I was left standing there in shock. I had no idea why he had been willing to pay such a high price for me.

All I knew was that my life had changed forever, and I was now at the mercy of a powerful vampire who seemed to hold all the cards.

My future was uncertain, and I was terrified of what lay ahead. But for the moment, all I could do was try to survive in this new and frightening world that I had been thrust into.

Two men walked up to me and they requested I go with them.

Who am I to refuse? The deed has already been done.

I wiped away my tears as I went with them, like a sheep who was about to be slaughtered, as we walked outside to where a black jeep awaited us, all I could do was imagine all sorts of bad things that could happen to me.

I've always wished and hoped that my life would at least get a bit easier for me, but it seems to me that it's only going to get worse from now on.

What will he do to me? Will he drain me of my blood like he always does? Will he abuse me? How will I be treated?

I seem to laugh at the last question because it sounded a bit dumb, I'm nothing but a slave, so how else do I expect to be treated if not as a slave?.

I realized that the door to the jeep had been opened already until one of them nudged my arm and asked me to go in.

That brought me out of my reverie and when I raised my heap, my eyes came in contact with that of Seth.

"Oh shit!"
