The Auction
chapter 14

Jayne POV

Tatina looks amazing. I am so happy to see looking well. She was so lost just a few days ago when she landed at the Vampire Authority auction. It makes my heart smile knowing she is in good hands.

We load her bags up into my car. “The hotel we are staying in is old but newly renovated and very cool. I think you will enjoy it. It was a nice view of the city. We can sit on the balcony and people watch,” I tell her. "Sounds great,” Tatina says

"It is not far. Maybe we will miss the traffic," I tell her.

I plan to take her everywhere since we have a few days to explore. "We can go to the French market, grab amazing food, oh and we can ride the ferry and the streetcar. We can walk over to the garden district to look at houses. There is a lot to do. We can go to a few bars. You have got to have a hurricane,” I tell her.

"I have never really drank before,” she says.

"Well, I won't tell anyone,” I tell her.

We zip into the city. Just us two girls without a care in the world but the amazing fun we are about to have. She deserves to have some fun after the way she has lived her life.

Lila POV

I did not think they would ever leave. I have my driver driving around three hybrids I need to be checked before the auction. I have emails to send. I have to get this show on the road. There is not a lot of time. I have wasted too much trying to get rid of them.

"Mr. Craig, He has the girls and is pulling up,” I tell him as I walk into his office.

He looks troubled. I have not seen this look on his face since, well since Julie died.

"What is the matter?" I ask him.

"I don’t think we should do this anymore," he says.

Great, the little tramp has gotten to him.

"Really, you're telling me you're going to let a piece of ass get in the way of everything we have built here,” I ask him

"No, it's not that. I am just tired of it. I want out. I will give you the business. I have money I can set you up,” he says.

"Really. I do not have the connections you do. If the Vampire Authority finds out we are having unauthorized auctions it is over for both of us. We have to stick together on this," I tell him.

Mr. Craig runs his hand through his dark wavy hair and then slams it on the desk. "I am fully aware. That is why I want out. I am ready to have a family. Tatina is perfect to start a family with," he says.

This romantic sadist, I mean how many women has he assaulted that has come here. He has taken out his rage on them and on me. He has sold them for breeding purposes to vampires to build armies. Some of these women are locked away to breed to multiple vampires for multiple times to the highest bid. He has kept the breeding houses stocked for years and now all of a sudden he wants to be in love. Hell no. Not going to happen. I can fix this. I will fix him.

"Fine. We can work out the arrangements but first, we have to take care of the three women here now. Are you going to check them or should 12" I ask.

"Do it. Be gentle and do not hurt them," he says.

"Of course, sir. I will be nice," I say.

I storm out of his office and get halfway down the hall. I go back and peck on the door.

"I am sorry for my outburst. It will not happen again,” I say.

He shakes his head at me.

I walk back down the hall. I have to get a plan in motion and I know just the way to do it, but I will need help. I know just the person to take Mr. Craig down. Poor Tatina. Her little heart is going to be so broken.

I walk through the main hall and to the side door on the stairwell. Eman has already got the breeders in the basement and locked in chains. Not my usual ideal way to control them but we don't usually have three women. I cannot risk one of them breaking free and running away. I have got to keep them under control and if I want to take him down. I need these women in the worst possible conditions I can think of. "Eman bring them water no food. Then strip them naked redress them in white gowns for the auctions. Before you dress them I need you to check and see which ones are virgins," I tell him.

"How do I do that?" he asks.

"Idiot!" I yell at him.

"Ram your hand up in there and check for extra skin. I will do it," I scream at him.

The first woman screams but the other two are silent.

"Look you can behave and let me do my job. After you get food water and a nice quiet afternoon until the auction. Or I can have Eman hold you down and I will do what I need to do anyway, but no food and no water. And I will make damn sure you go to the worst bidder we have,” I tell her.

The red-haired freckled face hybrid stops screaming. She acknowledges she will cooperate.

"Good girl," I say to her and give smack on the face.

"Strip them I will be back in twenty minutes to check them. I need to send out emails. Did you take pictures before you put them in the car?" I ask

"Yes. I sent you everything in the email. Good. I will need new ones after we dress them," I say.
