Chapter 62 Eliza
A letter is hovering in midair. Blade tries to catch it, but it won’t let him. The letter flies across the room and lays itself directly in my palm. It is empowered by Nicolas’ black wax. Something urgent has happened. I rip it apart and read the letter.
“Henry is dead. He was killed.” I exclaim to Blade.
“What? But how?”
“He was badly injured, then was killed when Nicolas and Dominic left the house. According to the letter, his heart was carved out. Fucking hell…” I can’t believe that the killer would be able to commit such a horrendous assassination.
“The squad has never seen a Burton killed like this before. It couldn’t be a Gray, as this is too ruthless.” Blade analyzes the situation. “Do you think it was the humans?”
“I have no idea. Either the humans or the werewolves. They are both getting out of our control.” I was never close to Henry, but his background was similar to mine. He was adopted by Nicolas, and he was empowered by the master behind me. He’s like Dominic’s sidekick. They said they were like brothers. Countless girls were in love with that pair. But weirdly enough, Dominic is just an emotionless robot, and Henry only loved Paulina. Imagine how miserable Dominic and Paulina must be now. The Seven Bloods is The Five Bloods now. And Sir Malcolm is still missing. We have to find him.
“You need to find this Lady Valentine for me.” I go over to Blade and glide my finger across his chest. “I know she has a store right in the center of the City of Morrow. I can’t go. It’ll be too obvious.” My fingernail scratches a shallow line into his skin, “Bring her here, and make sure no one knows.”
Blade grabs my ass and squeezes it softly. His tongue is in my mouth, so sudden and mild, just the way I like. “I’m at your disposal, my queen.”
His obedience makes me want him again. “You’re hard again. I feel it erect against me.”
“How can I not be, when you are teasing me so naughtily?” He flips my hair off of my shoulder and sucks on my neck. “I could fuck you all night if you’d allow it.”
I can’t help but let out a loud moan, turning around to see his handsome face, “You are making it difficult for me. We have no time.”
“Then let’s finish this fast.” He lifts me up and thrusts right into me. I try to resist him, but I just can’t. He fills me up just the way I want. My body still hasn’t cooled off from the sex we just had. It’s so easy to stimulate my excitement again. I move up and down on his hard dick, and it hits my core at exactly the right angle with every single thrust. This position makes me come so quick. Our rhythm gets faster and faster as the orgasm builds. He lets out a loud groan and I come all over him inside me.
“Go now, before I want you again.” I command him, as I’m still in an after-orgasm haze.
He takes it out and zips up his pants. “Wait for me. I’ll come back in no time.”
After I step out of the room, the sky is darker and is shining colorfully as the city below it is alive. I change into a suit and put on a dark red shade of lipstick. I go into the basement of my apartment and pick an electrical-purple sports car. The engine is roaring like a beast. I like the feeling of racing around, alone in a city, especially this city. The speed frees me. I’m tired of pretending to be noble and respectful in front of the Burtons. All those rules are suffocating me. Isn’t freedom the one truly fascinating thing? Otherwise, what do we need power for? If power can’t give me freedom, it’s nothing but useless energy.
I drive my car directly into a building and park it in my spot. I take the elevator underground, to level -33. The auction is beginning soon. I’ve never missed an auction, as it’s a way to purchase my necessities, and it’s fun. The auction used to be held every day, but recently, since the abrupt decline of their stock, it’s only held once a month now. A waitress with one eye in the middle of her face comes to welcome me. “Miss. Burton. We have reserved a prime seat for you. Follow me.”
“What do we have today? Any fine products?”
“Yes, we have a signature item today. A female werewolf will be the gem tonight.”
I’m delighted. “A female?”
“Yes, a valuable one.” The waitress leads me to my seat, one of the best positions to look down on the bidding arena from. “The auction is stating now. Please press this button when you want to bid. Good luck.” Then, the waitress walks off. A female werewolf is indeed much rarer than a male. They serve more functions than the males.
I look down on the arena sat full of people, odd dark creatures, trolls, dwarfs and ghouls. The host suddenly appears on stage and announces that the auction has officially begun. “Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the Compass Auction, held once a month. I observed that tonight’s tickets are sold out. And you already known the reason. We have a rare product to be auctioned off on this charming night! A rare and exquisite werewolf! Rather healthy and strong. Freshly captured along the outer range of the town of Moonlit.” The crowds fuss at the mention of the town, a place that is forbidden for them to visit, and full of werewolves. “This one somehow got lost and wandered away from her home.” The crowd laughs. “She’s still very bad-tempered and violent. But most importantly, this one is still a virgin.” The crowd hollers. “Yes! You heard me! A she-wolf!” The dark creatures are all drooling and applauding. “Now, I present you, the virgin werewolf!” The host lifts up a cage and inside the cage, a shivering werewolf is sitting naked inside. This opening scene instantly ignites the whole arena.
That is, all except one quiet corner. I notice that a man isn’t clapping or stamping his feet. He seems very angry, as he clenches his chair. The armrest of the chair is broken by his grip. The man in a black robe with a golden sash secretly hides himself in an arena of monsters.
