FerraraI strode towards the door with Seline in my arms. I loved the way she squirmed, while ducking her head whenever I was carrying her. It was so rare to see her so bashful, so I normally enjoyed every second of it.“Good evening, Your Majesty,” the guards chorused as they pulled open the door to the limousine for us. I nodded at them, setting Seline down on the floor, before clambering in. She looked around awkwardly, a bit confused. I growled as I snapped my fingers, patting a spot on the floor right in front of me. She flushed, scooting closer gracefully, and settled into a submissive pose with her head bowed in obedience. I ran my fingers through her soft hair and brought her face closer to my knee.“Fear not, pet,” I ordered quietly, leaning down to plant a kiss on her left shoulder. She blew out a breath, still feeling out of place, but the tension around her nerves eased up.I eased back into my leather seat with a sigh as the limousine meandered through the dreary town str
SelineI stood rooted, bubbling with excitement as Ferrara moved to stand in front of me — his skin pale, yet shiny in the darkness. His face had that animated look as he laughed, the sound filling up my being like a much needed drug I secretly craved. The joyous sound made me feel as though I was levitating, like a bird just learning how to fly. I peered up at him blearily, his large arms secured firmly around my waist.“You like it a lot, don't you, pet?” he asked, chuckling. “Welcome to Domi Sotto. A small paradise for subs like you.”I gasped. “Don't tell me you...own this place. How on Earth?”I'd heard a lot of rumours surrounding Domi Sotto; the renowned, dangerous vampire night club back at the academy. The rumours had broken out amongst shifters shortly after Erin — a slave shifter was murdered in the club after she fainted while her vampire master was pleasuring her. I'd heard of, and experienced my own share of wicked masters, but Erin's had to be the worst. Unfortunately,
Seline“It's breaking dawn, Seline,” a deep, sonorous voice cooed in my ears. I stirred awake, my vision blurring as Ferrara's well-sculptured face loomed over me. “It's time to go, pet.”“Mmm,” I managed to nod as I sat up properly. “Seems we lost track of time, Master.”He chuckled. “Well, whose fault is it?”I didn't have the right words to explain how last night went. I'd felt an ecstasy like no other — Ferrara working me up multiple orgasms that by the time we were done I was sated, tired and close to fainting. I'd fallen asleep immediately in his arms, enjoying his warmth, and it seemed he had a swell time cuddling me as well. Our bond was getting too strong to be confined within this Master-pet basis. Even now, as he carried me towards the limousine, bound for home, his eyes twinkled at me with such fond delight I'd never seen in them before.“Good morning, Your Majesty,” Samuel greeted with a curt nod as he pulled the door open. “Hope you had a good time last night with your,
SelineThe next few days whizzed by in a blur. The night-time training with Ferrara grew more intense as the days progressed as he took me through every whim of pleasure there ever was. I hated to admit it but I was getting better at a good sub, and I reveled in his attention. Day in, day out, I found new reasons to fall in love with him. To grow dependent on him. Even if a love story between us was not possible, he'd forever raised the standards of how I wanted my mate to be to an impossibly high degree.“You've been such a good pet, Seline. A marvelous angel. Brave girl...”Perhaps it was what he told me about Angel, how much we had so much in common, how much resemblance I bore to her, that caused my feelings for him to explode. I'd begun to crave his touch, to crave his praises and approval as though it were oxygen. Armed with a never-ending list of Angel's flaws, I was striving, each day, to be a better sub than her. To establish myself as a trustworthy confidante for Ferrara.I
SelineI spent a greater part of the morning exploring the garden paths — marking out those that led to the forest, which was an extension of the mansion. Iridessa monitored me for an hour or two from where she was seated on a kitchenette stool on the kitchen, but afterwards she left to prepare lunch for me. I shuffled between rose patches, sniffling and chasing bunnies down their little holes, but careful not to stray too far into the forest.A parrot swooped down suddenly from above, dropping a piece of paper over my eyes. I growled, ripping it off and chased after it hotly, but it got away, narrowly missing my claws. I caught the insignia on the tail feather — a dark mark in the shape of a black eye — and knew immediately who sent it. I pinned the paper to the ground with my paw, my body growing cold.Kill him soon or the both of you will be dead meat. — J.There was also an old photograph attached. One I'd seen so many times before. One I'd come to abhor. Even though it was quite
Seline“Come on, come on, come on,” I huffed as I banged relentlessly on the shut panel. It didn't budge, and I was desperate, sweat trickling down my forehead as I searched for a switch or crack or anything that could get it to open back up.This is what you wanted, right? Rye mocked. Great. Now we're stuck here.“Shut up, Rye. I'm doing my best here,” I hissed, pushing hard once more. At last I dropped down on my feet in resignation — my panic growing steadily the longer I stood in the dark tunnel. I decided to check it out, disappointed by how tight and uncomfortable it felt. Could this even qualify to be called a passageway? I bet it could be never fit Ferrara's massive frame. I extended my hands to measure it, confirming my suspicion. It couldn't fit Ferrara no matter how much he struggled through, which meant only one thing.I'd fallen into a trap. A move from the vampire king which I never saw coming.Slapping a palm to my face, I mentally kicked myself. “Stupid, stupid, stupid
FerraraIn a last minute attempt to save herself, Seline dashed to the door, clumsily folding herself through the chink. I cracked my knuckles, patient, giving her enough time to make a good getaway. When I was sure she'd disappeared down the corridor, I rushed after her, appearing behind her in a matter of mere seconds. She took a glance back, eyes bright with fright and took off in a heated run, her pale legs skidding into the living room. I stalked behind her closely with my vampire speed, as she raced through the house. By the time she reached the huge, double doors that led outside to the garden, she'd shifted completely into her red wolf.Bursting the door open, she sailed through the air, bounding into the deep woods. A bright shade of rare, beautiful, red fur, she was heading deeper into the forest, raising enough dust, sticks and stones to keep me disoriented. I trudged after her quietly, alternately walking and blurring with supernatural speed. She put up a good run, but the
Seline “Now, I'm going to ask you this one last time,” Ferrara growled — his voice flat, but with a dangerous knife's edge to it. “Who set you up for this? Who are you working for?” He tapped the vibrator on again, and I groaned as an orgasm rippled out of me. It was my thirtieth orgasm in the past hour, and my joints were all aching. All my strength were gone, and if he kept this up for another hour or two, I could die. “Speak up, pet, and I'll spare your life.”“You monster!” I managed to spit, my eyes droopy from tiredness. “You killed my pack and family. You took everyone I ever loved away from me at such a tender age!”He turned the vibrator off, his jaw slacking in shock. “What did you just say?”“You heard me right,” I glared, raising my chin up at him defiantly. “You're a cold-blooded murderer. You wiped my entire pack out.”“No,” he shook his head, chuckling. “That can't be. I'd never do something as dreadful as that. For what reason?”The heck? Was he being serious? I strai
