Just a little drama among vampires
Jules POV
I go into the city looking for Jamie. Frenchman was not much help at all, or maybe he just not want to help me. I have a feeling he is working with Lester. I know he is hiding something from me, but I am not sure what just yet. He has not been the same to me since I was thrown out of the authority years ago. I could care less what he thinks or anyone else in the authority, but I need to find Jamie. I only need to find Jamie before he decides to start talking about things he knows nothing about. The little bastard better keep his mouth shut. He does not want me to shut it for him. I have to find him first.
I spot Renae and Tara in a bar on Royale. They are coming out with a drink in each hand. I need Renae to help me. Hell, Lester will never help me. Lester will hang me. I know he has Jamie and I know Renae is helping him. So, why in the hell would she or Lester help me?
"Where are you two headed with both all that liquor?" I ask

The Auction New Orleans
Tatina and I arrive in the French Quarter, which she once loved, but now is overshadowed by bad memories. Maybe I can help her make new memories. Memoires of the night we were married, not memories of Craig and the things he did to her. We were closer than I let on to Lester; it is none of his business where we are, and I really do not want him to know that we are already here in Louisana. Lester called right as Tatina said I do, perfect timing. It makes me wonder if he knew we were here, which is another reason I did not tell him where we are precisely. So much for my promise to keep her out of New Orleans. I feel like I lied to her, and that is the last thing I want to do. I don't want him knowing our whereabouts these days. We have tried to keep our profile as low as possible since we started busting up the auctions. Plus, I still have to worry about Dominque. I never did get that bastard after he arrested me and took everything I worked so hard for;
The Auction She is missing
Lester Dufrene POVI am sitting at the bar where I am supposed to meet the love of my life, Renae. I should have pulled her out of this a long time ago. I was stupid for letting this go on as long as it did. Who am I kidding? She wanted to help. She hated the auctions, even the legal ones. The auctions were a terrible idea, something the vampire authority should have never gotten involved with, to begin with, but we did, and now my wife is caught up in all of it. My beautiful wife is in the middle of all of this, and it is my fault. Why would they want a human girl anyway? Just to torture me? These bastards will hurt her, and I know it is true.My phone dings it is Draco; they have Jules at a hotel just outside of the French quarter, Ronica’s place. I have to hurry and get to her. I know Tatina has a temper, and she will not play with him. Tatina will kill him before I can get my wife back. I cannot blame her after what she went throu
The Auction Lettie
Renae POVI try to open my eyes, but my eyes are so heavy. I am so weak. Where am I? I am not sure. I remember being grabbed on the street when I was trying to ditch Draco so I could get to Lester. Why is Draco and Tatina here? It all happened so fast. I got distracted when I thought I saw Jules’s brother Horace. It is strange because I thought he was dead or missing or something. Didn't Craig kill Horace or something after the incident at an authority auction like maybe three years ago or maybe not quite that long ago. I cannot think. I know he was wanted by the vampire authority at some point. Someone wanted him dead. Why can't I think? What is wrong with me?My brain is too fuzzy to think. I look around the room to see if I can figure out where I am and what exactly is going on with me. Who took me? Why am I here? I look around. I see other women. The room is dark, so very dark, or is it my vision. I am not sure. Think Renae, focus
The Auction Tibo
Lester POVMy driver drives through central city to Tibo’s place. There are not a lot of people out this late at night in Central City. Humans stay away at night. The vampires come out and play in Central city and every one knows it. My driver dives slowly down Tibo’s street per my instructions. I want to see if there is any movement in his house or on his street before I get out of the sedan. I have to be careful. I know they are watching for me and I am sure they know that I am coming for my wife.When my driver parks in front of the house, there is a light on in the house. Not a white light, it is a greenish light. Maybe someone is in business close by and that is the signal. My driver comes around, opens my door, and the light goes off, comes back on, flashes a few times, and then goes off again. That is strange. My driver shuts my door. I hear movement from the porch area and someone moving toward me.“Tibo, is that
The Auction Horace and His Auction House
Horace POVI begin to set up for tonight’s auction, and I cannot wait to see her face when I slap her on the auction block. I have a special prize to go on the auction block if Lester does not come for his little human wife. I may take his money and auction the little bitch anyway. I wonder what the vampires and wolves would do to her little human body. The thought of her in pain makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. I have never liked Renae; she always acted like she was better than me. She is a human. Her only talent is fucking vampires. From what I hear from Jules, she makes a good striper, too. I would love to see her end up in some hellish place, someplace where she is used, abused, and tortured. I believe it would do my heart good. I could take her home with me to play with every night, if nothing else. Maybe I could send Lester an occasional picture of her to torture him. The things I could do to her and make her suffer.I make my list
The Auction Lester
Lester POVI have to get her back. I am not sure how much the authority will help me to get her back. I sit here, and I look at the screen blankly. What can I say to make sure he does not harm her? I know what he is thinking, and I know she is probably completely out of her mind on whatever drugs they are pumping into her body. At least, there is comfort in that. She probably has no idea what is going on around her. I hope we can get her out before she comes awake. I do not want Renae to suffer. I cannot bear the thought of her hurting in any way. Fuck, why did I send her into Jule's place in the beginning? This should not be happening.I could offer him immunity for his auctions. Renae will be furious with me if I give Horace immunity. Maybe if I provide him with immunity and then Tatina could kill him before the ink is dry on the contract. I could pay him, but there is no guarantee that he will let her go once he has the money.
The Auction The Auction House Raid
Tatina POVDraco and I pull into the Holy Cross church; as we are about to go around into the basement, I notice a lot of activity across the street. They think they are playing us. Someone got some insufficient information to Lester.“Baby, the auction is over there, not here. Someone did not tell the truth when asked about the auction,” I say to him, pointing toward the lights.We both watch as familiar buyers go into the building. “Are you seeing this? Look, Tibo lied to Lester. That snake. It would be best if you let Lester know before they let him go, and he can warn somebody,” I say to Draco.“Yeah, you are right. I will text Lester to let him know that Tibo lied to him, just in case he thinks about going soft on him. I doubt it, but you never know,” Draco says.He pulls out his phone and sends a message to Lester. “Alright, let’s go,” Draco says.I look
The Auction Everything will be okay
Renae POVI hear Lettie and Lee talking to someone. The conversation is calm, and I hear another woman's voice. Who is she talking to? I try to listen. There is a lot of commotion, and I am not sure where it is coming from. I wish I could feel my legs, but there is not a lot I can feel right now. I cannot move. I hope none of this is permanent damage.“Hey, Tatina is here; she will get us all out soon. She is going to get the key or some explosives. She said to stay away from the door,” Lettie says to me.“Good. I am ready to get the hell out of here, girls,” I whisper to her. My voice is still hoarse, and my throat hurts.Lee sits on the bed close to me, watching over me like a hawk. The other women in the room have come over to our corner to stay back from the door. They are terrified. I am too, but I am trying to hold my emotions for later.“Is that screaming? What is that sound? What the hell
