Michael looked at the woman, eyes closed, lying on the bed in one of the guest rooms.Actually, only part of this huge castle was inhabitable, the rest was half abandoned.How did everything get so complicated so suddenly?But he had to call Lucian, his loyalty was above all else and if this woman's sins were unforgivable, he wouldn't even think about it for a second.— Michael, what's wrong? — Lucian replied immediately— Lucian, this woman… I have her in my possession — he told him, thinking about how to proceed.They had known each other for so many centuries that Lucian knew immediately that there was some kind of problem.— Wait Michael.— Ophelia, darling, take care of your brothers for a moment. Remember, don't let the wolf pups run out into the garden or your mother will scold us again—Michael listened as Lucian spoke on the other end of the line, and the truth was that it felt strange.Lucian already had a family that he loved and they loved him.Nothing to do with his pathet
Nagy entered the place filled with all kinds of creatures, including humans.With dim and enchanting lights.A track in the middle, where you could hardly see the tangled bodies and a lot of illegal and magical things being consumed on the surrounding tables.- Take off that heavy hood and come with me, let's have a good time - Rufus told her over the loud music, enjoying the closeness of a woman as exquisite as Nagy.He had wanted this vampire for a long time, but she always pretended to be too dignified, but today he might have a chance.Nagy could almost read the dirty mind of this overweight old man in a false wig.But he was one of the partners in this business, deep in the underworld of supernatural creature trafficking.If anyone knew of any upcoming auctions, it was him.So she risked taking off her hood and sat at the bar in her black dress, next to the lusty-faced sorcerer.- Drink, my dear, I'll buy you a drink, tell me, what brings you to my humble bar? - he said, ordering
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
