Emma POV
He took me. Joel Lee thought I would tell him where to find Tia. I would never betray her. I love her and she is the only thing that matters to me. If I know she is safe then it is all worth it. I can continue on, no matter what they put me through here. I can be a slave it means Tia is safe and continue working to stop the auctions.
I am sure she will make it to Draco, but I have no idea if they will be able to find me soon enough. I will be a slave to one of the wolves or a vampire. They will use me, abuse me and ruin me. I am strong, but surviving the auction, even a controlled auction is not easy. I will not give up on finding her and being with her again, but I have to harden myself to survive just like the others.
At least, for me, I am not a hybrid. I will never be forced into a breeding box or tortured in that manner. What they will do to me is make me serve my master, and I will hav
Emma POVThe door opens, and I hear someone get into the seat beside me. I hear the truck start, and then it moves. I try to see who is in the truck. Is it Aspen? I wait to see Angela or at least feel her."My arm is broken, I think," I say. I see some movement from the corner of my eye. Aspen, it is Aspen. He reaches above him and releases a hook or something, but I am unsure what it is. I want to see, but it is so hard through my swollen eyes.I hear something raise, like a door or something. "Emma, It is me. I am here for you," Angela says. I begin to cry."Do not cry, sweetie. It will make your eyes more swollen. Please try to remain calm," Angela says. I nod my head to let her know I am trying. I am a sobbing mess as I feel Angela check me."I need to get a good look at you. I am going to help you back into the space where I am. It is a small cab with a bed and a lot mo
Tia POVI wait for Angela and Aspen to return with Emma. It hurts, everything hurts, my heart feels as if it will explode. I am afraid for her. I know what it is like being inside the auction, but Emma she does not know. She knows now, and the pain, the agony will have helped so many heal will be her pain now too. "Tia!" Draco calls out to me. I take a deep breath and get out of the bed. I just want to lie here and hurt. I want to wait alone, but Draco always has a way of making you feel your pain and finding a way to accept him. Draco believes that if you do not accept the pain, you cannot move on from where you are. How do I help Emma accept her pain? What if this changes her? I am afraid for her. "I am coming," I say as I finally force myself out of the bedroom. I walk down the hall. I stop at the room where my sister, Fia died, that is not a memory I want to relive right now. I touch the door, and then I lean my head on it. I start crying, but I am not sure why.
Emma POVI can feel him touching me, inside me, hitting me. My body moves up and down, and I feel his weight. STOP! I scream, and then I try to open my eyes. I am being moved. No one is hurting me. Where am I? "What is happening?" I whisper. I feel a familiar hand. "We are moving you to a bedroom. Tia called a doctor for you. You will be okay," Angela says. The swelling in my face hurts when I speak, so I give her a slight nod. I want to sleep. I drift into dreaming again. Stop it! I feel him touching me again. Whore, take it, screams from other women. "MAKE IT STOP!" I scream out. All I can see and hear is him, his breath on me, his friends taking me. I cannot live with this. I thought I would be okay, but I cannot do this. How did Tia live after the auction?I hear the door open and something moving. I feel a soft bed and then someone covering me. "I am going to use a cool washcloth on your face," Angela says. I jerk away. "Stop fucking touc
Aspen POVI try to comfort Tia, but she is not having any of it. She is in pain and hurting from Emma's rejection. "She is hurting, Tia. She will come around. She went through a lot at the auction house," I say to her.Tia wipes the tears from her face. "I am aware of what goes on in the auction; I was in it, remember. You worked those horrible things. So do not tell me what she went through at the auction. I know, Aspen. I know better than anyone in this house. I saw my sister raped and watched her die," Tia screams at me and then runs away, crying and yelling as she runs to the other side of the house."I see you have not lost your touch," Draco says, sitting down beside me."I hate it for her. How is Emma?" I ask Draco.Draco shakes his head and runs his fingers through his hair. "She is leaving as soon as she is healed. She wants out of this shit, and I do not blame her. Maybe she can convince Tia to get
Draco POVThe vampire authority rushes into the house. Tia and I both go to our knees to await our fate. I wish she would have left, but she stayed behind to be here for me. She feels she still owes me for saving her. So many of the women I helped feel that way. They do not owe me anything. I only want them to thrive and get the hell out of here to live their lives.The big man, the soon to retire vampire over the authority Dominick Billings. He walks into my home and looks down at me. "Draco looks like we have a serious pickle here with you and your little friend," Dominick says. He lifts Tia by the chin and forces her to look at him. "You are very pretty," Dominick hisses at Tia. She pulls her face back. She does not care what he does to her, she will not bend to him, not today or ever."Hello Dominick, what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?" I ask him. I know why he is here and what he wants.Do
Angela POV I have heard of stories of the wolves coming into town on the full moon and taking women. Some locals say it is a myth and others know it to be true. Some people have seen the wolves, and some have families that vanished, never to return home. I have never known one personally until now. My best friend is missing. No one has seen her in weeks. And no one seemed to care but me. It seems like everyone is covering up her disappearance. I want to find Deanne, but the only way to do that is to go into wolf territory to look for her. I know she would look for me, so I am not giving up on her. I am not afraid. At least, that is what I am telling myself over and over. I dress in jeans, a t-shirt, a warm jacket, and running shoes. I am not sure if I can outrun a wolf, but I have to look for my friend. I have to find her tonight. If I can find one wolf or just one person not afraid to talk to me and tell me where she is located or simply that she is okay, I will be
Angela POV I awake with a pounding headache. My vision is blurry. I try to focus, but everything is blurred. "Angela, can you hear me? Are you okay?" Deanne cries out. She grabs me and holds me tightly. It feels so good to be with her again. I look around the room, trying to see where I am and what the hell is happening here. I cannot get my eyes to focus on anything, not even Deanne. "What the hell are you doing here? And why were you with Alpha?" she asks me. "I was looking for you. I went to the bar and tried to find someone to tell me what happened to you. Alpha came into the bar and offered to bring me to you," I answer her. Angela looks me over. I swat at her. "What the hell are you doing?" I ask her. "I am c
Angela POV I am exhausted when we get back to our cabin. Deanne still is acting strangely toward me. I try to stay out of her way when we go into the cabin. I look around for a cot to sleep on and finally decide on one close to the window and away from her and the other women. I came here to help her, and now it seems she may not have needed my help after all. "There is a cot next to me," Deanne calls to me. She points at a cot next to her. Something about the look on her face and the others: I do not think they want me around them. "It is okay; I want to be close to the window," I say to her. "Well, do not try to open it. It is locked, and there are guards outside just waiting for one of us to try to make a run for it," Deanne says. The other women look at me in a disapproving manner. I said I was sorry, and I have tried to stay away from them for most of the day. Leave it to me to piss off everyone in one day. "I just want to be by t
