There were noises, roars and violent movements in the room, a scream from Rufo and then silence.When Nagy felt a presence near her, she started to cower, thinking it was another attacker, but when she heard Michael's voice, she almost cried right then and there.- I told you 30 minutes, was that the big plan you had? - he said and helped her up, but Nagy's legs felt like jelly and the unbearable heat was suffocating her.Even more so now that she was so close to the man she actually wanted.- A spell, a vassalage on the thigh - she managed to articulate, lying completely on Michael's strong body.Michael looked at her through the opening in her thigh and saw the black pattern of the spell, already becoming visible as its effect grew stronger.- That son of a bitch - he muttered through his teeth, snarling and cursing, anger at its peak.He should never have let her into a place like this alone.- We have to go - Nagy whispered, barely holding back from biting her partner's neck and b
In the end, they decided to run.Michael was still worried about Nagy, and staying to make a fuss would do them no good.Nagy, somewhat recovered from the blood she had just drunk, turned into mist and flowed through the dark night.An owl followed her silently.Michael knew some magic, as did Lucian, they had learned it from old grimoires kept in the pack and from their wanderings around the world.In fact, Michael was more versatile and knew many more spells because he had to rely on them all the time, without his inner wolf to help him.Only the Ancient of the werewolves could learn some of the witches' magic.So they wandered through the mountains and came to Michael's hidden castle.- At least it was not in vain, I have the date and time of the next auction-she said, brushing the cold dew from her clothes.The night's journey had brought her temperature down a little.- Do you always go to places like this? - Michael asked as if he didn't want to sound jealous as he poured himsel
Nagy grinned like a satisfied cat that had tasted the fish it wanted and was about to eat it.These days, she never missed an opportunity to attack Michael.Best of all, she could feel progress.With her brashness and his partner's dwindling resistance, he might have a chance to conquer him for good.Michael had something holding him back, she had realized.The last time she tried to take their relationship to the next level of foreplay, climbing on top of his body, ready to ride him, almost impaled, Michael pushed her hard and she fell to the floor.Nagy wanted to get angry, but then she saw the pure resistance and rejection in her partner's eyes.It was as if he wasn't looking at her, as if memories of the past were coming back to haunt him.She had not tried to force herself on him since that event.As she thought about Michael's obsession with finding Elizabeth Harrington, she began to form a theory in her head, one that was not far from reality.- Come with me to find the artifac
- Stop, what do you want, and what are your intentions?-This is a private crypt and not just anyone can enter! - She was stopped by one of the werewolves at the entrance.- I am a vampire of the Bâlan clan and I am here to participate in the auction -she replied calmly and gracefully, hiding the hatred she felt at the mention of her clan's name.- Show us your artifact and a specialist will evaluate it. If it suits us, you will pass, if not, you will leave.- I am the artifact that I want to auction, an ancestral vampire that will be offered to the highest bidder - she told them, giving herself importance, trying to tempt them and she actually succeeded.- Wait here, we'll call one of the managers - and he entered through the heavy door, while Nagy was watched by the other guards.Soon a man came out and looked at her as if she were a piece of meat.He made her remove her hood to see if her skin was flawless, at least the visible part, and asked her a few questions.Mostly if she wan
— So she fell into the trap? — asked one of the auctioneers to the woman who had examined Nagy naked at the beginning.— Yes, she thought she was very clever and the vampire in the cage completely fooled her.— Besides, she thought we wouldn't notice her movements — the redhead replied mischievously.— I hope, for your sake, that she is as exquisite as you say, and that this change has served us well.— It did not amuse me to let the other one go, the ideal would have been to have them both — the man started to walk towards Nagy's cage.— You will see, if it was worth it, they will pay much more for this vampire, she is like the queen and the beggar.— I have already sent men after the other one, but it is not certain that we can get her back, it was a risk we had to take—she explained, following him.Nagy had gone to great lengths to free herself from the restraints of the damn necklace.Apparently, the only truth that had escaped Freya's lips was that this device would nullify her p
Wait, that was not the result he wanted!Then he looked quickly at Nagy, and his soul fell out of his chest at the look of utter disappointment and pain she gave him.Nagy didn't know why on earth she was still so delusional.She looked like a masochist who liked to have her heart stomped on again and again.For the second time in her life, she felt an endless urge to cry.The first time was when she learned of her parents' betrayal, then when she was raped by a group of men, and now when she learned of her partner's betrayal.What did she expect?It was obvious that Michael did not love her, and even he had his reasons because she had conspired against his pack, even if it were to survive, in the end she was a stranger and this was his family.She closed her eyes, resigned to her fate of being trash to everyone, something disposable and expendable.She alone had gotten herself into this, and like everything else in her life, she alone would have to break free and take care of herself
Michael did not want to leave, not without Nagy, and although he knew it was crazy, he was willing to do anything to correct his mistake.The scene remained stagnant and no one wanted to move until one of the employees arrived and whispered something in the manager's ear.— Mr. Soto, would you allow the vampire to choose who she wants to stay with? — the manager asked the shifter, who angrily refused, but saw out of the corner of his eye that they were signaling him to say yes.— Okay, so you don't say that we shape-shifters are uncivilized animals — he replied annoyed and sat down on a chair.Michael sighed in relief.If they let she decide, Nagy would go with him.He would apologize for his moment of indecision and hope that she would forgive him.He saw her brought in, still in the cage, like a captive animal.His heart began to beat like a drum, desperate to get her out of there and then give her two or three lashes on her round buttocks for running away from the castle and gettin
When Nagy opened her eyes, she was lying on a luxurious bed with silk sheets.A little disoriented, she remembered that she had been drugged before leaving the auction site.She immediately examined her body and sighed as she found herself in the same clothes and with no signs of having been forcibly taken or disgustingly groped by this Mr. Soto.At least it was not that obvious.Of course, her goal was to escape.She was not going to stay here to be someone's pawn and even though she still had a death sentence hanging over her head, she was resigned to it.There was nothing she could do but spend her last years at liberty, doing the little she liked, like the terminally ill woman she was.She stood up and looked around the room.Everything was beautifully decorated with golden ornaments and the combination of black and gold looked very sophisticated.Apparently, this shape-shifter had a lot of money to throw around.He approached a huge mirror in the room, it was dazzling and took up
