Freya's POV:
The clinking of glass had become the most normal thing for the past one week in my life and what I dreaded the most because more visitors meant more pain.
"I just got a pet," I heard my owner say, and my heart dropped.
Not again…
I couldn't go through it any more today.
The curtain to the cage that I was locked up moved and my owner came into view; a short man that was drowning in jewelry and an expensive yellow robe.
"She's a fine and young one," the visitor who was way taller than him said before he squatted to study me better.
I tried to use my legs to cover my naked body, but that only earned me cat calls from other spectators.
"Blood type."
The question made my heart thump fast because I knew what would come next after that.
"Rh-null."
The proud tone William had used to answer made me so disgusted and knowing what was going to come next made me want to end my life on the spot.
"How is that possible?" The bald man who was still peering into the cage asked with disbelief clearly written on his face.
Please don't suggest it.
Please don't suggest it.
"Do you want to find out?" William asked the question that had become a routine at this point.
The man seemed to think about it for a while before licking his lips, probably trying to imagine what my blood tasted like.
Okay, this might be kind of confusing since I haven't fully introduced my owner, Baron Williams.
Apparently, anyone who owns several estates is respected and given the title Baron in this world. A world where vampires and other supernatural beings live.
At first, I believed that it was just the lack of pills that was making me hallucinate that part, but after being drank from by several people to the extent I had several injuries everywhere, I knew that this was really my current situation.
"Justin, unlock the pet's cage."
On cue, Justin, who had been my arch enemy even though he was just doing his job, unlocked the cage, making me scramble back.
William had been unable to break me ever since I was brought to him, so he had vowed to let everyone drink from me until I didn't resist anymore.
Justin's thin body loomed over mine before he finally bent and tried to pick me up.
"Let me go," I screamed and tried to claw at Justin, who managed to overpower me and drag me out as usual.
I screamed and cried at the top of my lungs and it only got worse when my skin touched a cold body that definitely belonged to a vampire.
"Please, don't," I whimpered when the vampire forcefully turned my head to the side so that he could have access to my neck.
A sharp pain shot through my neck when the vampire roughly sunk his teeth into my neck and drank from me.
I continued to try to get out of his grasp but that only made my skin tear more as he continued to drink hungrily while William's familiar laughter echoed in the background.
By the time he was done - or so I thought - I could feel my consciousness slipping away as my body was unable to take the throbbing pain.
Everyone seemed to be amused by what was happening as they all laughed along with the man and just when I had only managed to get a bit far from the vampire before he held me by the leg and dragged me back. Horror filled me when I knew what was about to happen.
Men like him are never satisfied with the amount of blood that they've gotten from me because I have a rare blood type that they've never come across.
"William," I begged with a cracked voice for my owner's help even though I knew it was useless.
Another round of torture soon began when the vampire sniffed around my boobs, probably looking for the right vein, then paused and let out a scary chuckle.
"What's happening here?" A deep voice that seemed strangely familiar said just when he was about to sink his teeth.
I couldn't be more grateful even though I knew that the whole torture would continue once the person left.
Everyone in the room bowed their heads and that made me curious to see who dared to make William so humble.
"Lord Lucien," William greeted with a grim look while the vampire that had me in his hands tightened his grip on me to the extent I let out a cry of pain.
From what I could see, it was obvious that everyone in this room hated the unknown man that commanded so much authority.
"Who is that?"
William hesitated for a split second before he moved out of the way and revealed who I least expected to ever see again in my life.
It was my red-eyed captor, dressed in a black coat that covered the main attire with his black hair sitting obediently in a place. The hope felt for a second in my heart crushed in a second since it was his brother that sold me off.
My breath got caught in my throat and I didn't look away even though I felt intimidated, especially when he made eye contact.
"What were you doing?" he asked William, although his eyes were still on me.
I felt really exposed and conscious of my body, so I struggled against the vampire that just drank from me, but he didn't let me go.
"Let her go," my captor called Lucien, commanded in a voice that thundered across every corner of the room.
The vampire didn't think twice before he let me go and stood up, leaving to cover the puncture on my neck that was still bleeding a bit.
"Come here," he said to me and for the first time since I've been thrown into this world, I didn't hesitate to run towards a vampire for help.
I had no idea who he truly was, but if he asked me to follow him, I wouldn't think twice because my best option was to go with him, then try to cope with whatever I met at his home as long as it wasn't worse than this.
"I'll take her with me."
