I feel myself waking up, but i don’t want to, i don’t want to open my eyes and spend one more moment with that fucking Nati vampire just so he can abuse me in some way or another. I roll over and then grunt, my eyes shoot open, i laid on the hand he branded, and fuck, it hurt like hell. If only i healed as fast as one of them, that way i would have the energy to get the fuck out of here.
I still healer faster than an average joe human woman, the hunter blood makes me stronger like that, but it still isn’t fast enough to compete with a Nati, and it never will be. No matter how much i wish for it.
This is the real world, wishes don’t come true here, it isn’t a Disney movie, no one is going to save me, i have to save myself.
I jump when the door opens, contemplating pretending to be asleep, but there is no way i want to piss Mihai off again, I've had enough of his punishments to last an entire year. I do not want anymore.
I turn over, watching as he steps inside the room and close the door behind him, saying something to one of the guards that i don’t manage to hear.
I pull myself up and stare at him, waiting for him to bleed me dry, or whatever it is he came here to do, because i know for damn sure he isn’t here to let me go.
“You need to get into the dress i brought for you, little hunter, the lords are already arriving.” says the Nati as he sits on the edge of the bed, kicking the box across the floor.
I stare at him for a moment before i drag my ass off the bed and pick up the red dress out of the box, knowing i don’t have a choice but to wear it. It isn’t my style and normally i wouldn’t be caught dead in it, but then again, i have never had to be in a room full of pretentious Nati before, so who knows what the proper thing to wear is.
I grab the heels and start heading to the bathroom, but before i can even make it across the room, Mihai appears in front of me, shaking his head.
“I didn’t give you permission to leave.” He says, arms crossed.
I frown, anger bubbling in my chest, “I have to use the fucking bathroom.” I say, “Or do you want me to piss on your expensive carpet?”
The Nati’s eyes darken, “I expect you to ask permission before doing something.”
“You want me to ask before i use the bathroom?” i ask, confused, just how sick is this guy?
He nods, “Yes, you can do nothing here without my approval, especially at dinner, and that includes using the bathroom.”
I bite down on the inside of my cheek to stop myself from saying something that i will regret. I cannot handle another punishment from him.
“Can i use the bathroom?” I say, fighting back the urge to call him a wide range of names that i know he won’t like.
He moves to the side, allowing me to walk past him, “you have five minutes, any longer and I'll come get you.” he says as i shut the door behind me.
Well, it's a good job i don’t need to evacuate my bowls, because that takes longer than five measly minutes.
I look around the bathroom, slightly disappointed by how bland and simple it was, there is a shower, a toilet and a sink, and that is it. Nothing fancy, just typical white porcelain.
I sigh and place the red dress across the sink and make my way to the toilet, seriously wishing that i had a change of underwear to put on, i can’t exactly wear the low cut dress with my sports bra on. I'd just make myself look like a fool.
I flush the toilet when i am finished and move the dress so that i can wash my hands, grateful that there is some soap, at least these monsters still care about their hygiene.
Always look on the bright side, i guess.
I peal of my bra and step into the dress, pulling it up my hips and ass rather than putting it over my head, I'm just hoping my breasts are big enough to hold it in place, because the straps don’t seem like they are strong enough for the job. The dress doesn’t look heavy, but my god, it weighs a ton. No wonder women can’t move very fast in gowns, all their energy is wasted keeping the damn thing in place.
I hold the back together, knowing i am going to have to ask the Nati vampire to help me zip up the back, even if i don’t want to. I don’t exactly want to go to dinner with all my body parts on show.
I momentarily glance at myself in the small mirror, ashamed by the very present bite marks on the side of my neck. I am living my worst nightmare, and though i always thought that i would know exactly what to do if this ever happened. I’m trapped, and i don’t have any hope that i will escape.
Maybe I'm already too broken to escape, i don’t even know how long i have been here, the days are all rolling into one.
I open the bathroom door, Mihai stood right outside, his eyes widening at the edges as he watches me walk back into the bedroom.
“I can’t zip it up.” I say slowly, “Can you help me?”
He clears his throat and walks towards me, indicating that i should turn around, “The other lords are going to become very jealous when they see you.”I scoff, rolling my eyes, “I highly doubt that, I am sure that you things are perfectly capable of getting a hot date.”Mihai hums in response, “We are, but female hunters are something of a delicacy, and very rare.”I think I'm going to be sick.I turn around when he has finished zipping the dress, nervously smoothing down the material, “So what am i exactly supposed to do at this dinner?”The Nati vampire smirks, his eyes bright, “You will sit beside me and behave, i have been very lenient with you, the other won’t be.” He steps closer, backing me against a wall, “you may belong to me, but if you disrespect them in any way, they can punish you, just as i can.”My blood runs cold, how would i even know if i have disrespected them? It isn’t like there is a rulebook on having dinner with vampire lords back at home.I always thought I'd s
I hide my bare feet under the gown as i sit awkwardly on the very edge of the sofa, unable to help the slight tremble in my hands. I'm afraid, i have no idea what to expect. I don’t know how i am going to make it through dinner with my head still attached to my shoulders.I need to be careful, really fucking careful, and i need to keep my smart mouth sealed shut.Voices echo down the corridor, the tremble in my hands getting more violent. I look at the Nati vampire, but he isn’t paying attention to me, his eyes are on the door, and all emotion has been wiped from his face.I don’t think I'll ever admit it allowed, but the black tailored suit he wore looked amazing on him, i could see every muscle in his chest and arms, and his ass was to die for. His hair was combed back, and his eyes were dark and cold, if it weren’t for the fact he could snap my spine in less than a second, i may even find myself attracted to him.The first vampire to enter the lounge was a blonde-haired god, his sk
He isn’t going to hurt me, not yet anyway.I hear Soryn shift a little in his seat, “I would love to have a taste of her before i leave, there is nothing quite like pure hunter blood.”I'm going to be sick.I don’t want any of the feeding from me. Not even Mihai, which i know is probably foolish. He is under the impression that he owns me, and he can do what he wants with me. But I will find a way to escape. I have to.I cannot live like this.Mihai growls, his eyes flashing with rage, “You may be my guest, but that does not give you the right to ask such things of me and what is mine.”“Forgive me, my lord.” Soryn says carefully, “I will not ask again.”I'd do anything to see the look on his face right now, i bet he looks as shit scared as i do. Mihai is a force to be reckoned with.Mihai stands, grabbing my arm and dragging me to my feet, but just as he opens his mouth to speak, a loud crash shakes the entire room. The window on my left shatters and i bow my head to avoid getting pi
The road is empty all except for me and this stupid van that won’t go faster than 70mph. It is practically hoping that I'll get caught, and i am praying that the vamps are still fighting, and Mihai hasn’t even noticed that I've disappeared. That's the hope anyway.I should know by now that it is stupid to make wishes and give yourself a chance to hope, but my hands are shaking so bad that i can barely hold the wheel and right now i need all the hope i can get.I notice smoke coming from somewhere under the hood and frown, this stupid vehicle isn’t going to make it to the nearest town. I have to think of something else.I pull over to the side of the road and search the van, I’m not entirely sure what I am looking for, just anything that’ll help me get back home in one piece.I find a small mobile phone stuffed under one of the seats and laugh in disbelief, my fingers fumbling over the numbers as I dial the only person who can help me get away from all of this. My father.He picks up o
He drops me to the ground whilst he shakes with uncontrollable rage, he wants to rip me apart, every cell in my body knows it, and I'm ready. I'm ready to die.“What the fuck did you expect me to do?” i croak, holding my sore neck, “I wasn’t just ging to sit there and let you use me again.”He kneels down in front of me, his eyes crimson red, “Think very carefully before you speak, little hunter, I am not known for showing mercy to anyone, let alone the enemy.” His voice is coated with so much venom that you’d think i was the one who ordered the attack.Fuck him. Fuck all the Nati vampires, and the turned ones. I would gladly watch them all burn in the sun.I scowl at him, spitting in his face, “I'd rather die for my words than be stuck with you.”“Let me make one thing perfectly clear, Mae, you are mine.” He wipes my spit from his cheek, “No matter where you go, or what you do, you belong to me, and i will always find you.” he wraps his hand in my hair and pulls me closer, “You could
Mihai carried me all the way back to the mansion through the woods, my torturous mind unable to stop picturing his tongue and fingers inside of me, and his mouth all over my naked skin. He touched me as though he was starved of flesh, and i allowed him to, because i was starved in ways i never end thought bothered me, until now.I keep my eyes on the darkness, trying to remind myself that he is the enemy, i cannot allow anything like this to happen again. It's too dangerous.My own family would strike me down if they knew what i had allowed him to do, relationships between vampires and hunters were forbidden, and it is punishable by death.Although it wasn’t a relationship like any other I've known, he abuses me one minute, permanently branding my skin, and then the next he is worshiping my flesh as though i am a goddess sent from above.Mihai's mood swings are enough to make my head spin.I look up at him, my curiosity getting the better of me, “What happens now?” I ask softly, not w
I remember getting changed into a pair of loose jeans and a long jumper, and i remember climbing into the helicopter beside Mihai. I remember choosing to accept this as my fate and to stop fighting for freedom, at least for now.But i don’t remember the helicopter stopping, and whilst some part of me knows that i must have been carried to room i am in, as i wake, it is terrifying not knowing where i am.The room was much the same as the last one, a tv, a bookshelf, and a bed big enough to fit three or four of me in it. It was painted a deep maroon shade, and the carpet was black, i guess it is easier to hide blood stains that way.I adjust the jumper I'm wearing and climb out of the bed, wondering towards the door to the right of the bed, and as i guessed, it was locked.Mihai wouldn’t want to risk me trying to escape again, not now that he had me where he wanted me.I was so stupid to even consider the fact that he may have left the door open, just because he keeps trying to fuck me
“I’m so glad you’re here.” I say, holding my hands out for the tray, “I’m starving.”Mihai hands me the tray and sits on the other end of the sofa, his eyes soft and his voice gentle, “I’ve been dealing with a few things, if i could have got here sooner, i would have.”“Maybe you should have gotten someone else to bring the food.” I say, shoving a piece of medium rare steak in my mouth.I don’t mind the blood, but i prefer it well done.There were minted mash potatoes, broccoli, asparagus, carrots and of course the steak. It was a well-made meal, and i was so hungry, if i am being honest, i would have eaten almost anything right now. Even sprouts. Which i hate.There was also a milky coffee and a slice of chocolate cake. The perfect dessert.Mihai smirks, watching me as i eat, “If i could trust you not to run, you could leave this room and walk around the mansion.”I shovel some mash potato in my mouth, “Yeah, i guess, but you can’t trust me, and i can’t trust you.”“Not yet.” He says
