Chapter 15

Mia's POV

I turned around and faced the man who seemed to be in his fiftys.
But since he's a vampire I'm probably wrong.

- Who are you?

I Asked a bit scared.

- I'll ask the questions missy.

I gulped as he looked around the room and then at me, checking me from head to toe. The old man didn't even realize how uncomfortable I was feeling.

- Where's your master?

I Pointed at Dante who was still talking with those boring men about their boring business.

- Ahh... so you're the princes pet. I heard his last one didn't last long.
I wonder how long you will last.

He placed a finger on my chin lifting my gead up and checking every small detail on my face. I moved back out of reach of his dry, dirty hands.

The man put his hand on my shoulder and moved his thumb on my bare skin making me flinch in disgust.
I moved back again but he took my waist holding me in one place.

- Please let go of me sir.

- How dare a pet speak like that?!
He seemed outraged.

I didn't understand what I said wrong.
I was polite. The only reason I was polite to these blood suckers was because I was scared Dante will whip me again.

- How about I take you to one of the guest rooms and teach you a lesson?

- I-
I stuttered.

- That won't be needed.

I looked up at the familliar voice.

It was Aldric, Dante's brother.

I was suprised to see him.
I haven't seen him since he took me away from home.

- How can a pet be so disrespectful?

The man was clearly angry at me behaving the way I did. But I was on my best behaviour.

- You know my brother, he likes a challenge.

He said with a chuckle amusment laced in his voice.

- That I do know.

He said walking away.

I looked at Aldric with confusion written all over my face.

- Thank you? I guess?

- You should never go against an elderly.

- A what?

- Nevermind, just don't speak back all the time.

I looked at the ground.

- I see Dante didn't mind putting so much of you on display tonight.

I blushed in embarrassment and lifted my hands to cover my cleavage. I saw Aldrics eyes change a bit as I tried covering myself. I guess he knew I  wasn't comfortable with old men seeing so much of me. I wanted to dig a hole and die.

- Well atleast you're not naked like some of the other pets.

- Do you keep humans as pets aswell?

I was hoping he wouldn't snap at me like the old man did.

- No I don't.

I couldn't help my curiosity and continued questioning him.

- Howcome you don't?

He looked at me.

- I don't think it's right to treat humans that way.

I huffed.

- Is that what you were thinking when you took me away for your brother to sell me at that auction?

He looked at me a bit suprised and confused. His eyes were lighter colored than Dante's.

- What auction?

- Don't play dumb! You know what I'm talking about!

- Mia. Calm. Down.

I took a deep breath and huffed. There was no way in hell he didn't know what I was talking about.

He slightly smiled at me and continued to speak.

- Good girl. Now, my brother never intended to sell you.

I remembered him telling me that he was going to sell me so many times.

- He probably wanted you to get your hopes up so that you could lose it again.

I couldn't believe this man. He was so careless about others feelings.
I huffed once again but tried to calm myself down.

- Aldric.

He looked at me.

- Could you help me?

He had a look on his face that told me, how can a pet think she can get help from a vampire. But never the less he answered.

-That depends.

- You know Hayden right?

He nodded.

- What about him?
He asked taking a sip from his drink which I could also use at this point.

- Hayden used my mom as bait when he tried to use me to kill Dante.

- That son of a bitch still hasn't given up.
He said to himself.

- What do you mean?
I asked a bit worried.

- It doesn't concern you.

He said in a cold tone. This tone probably runs in the family.
I sighed and continued.

- Do you know if she's still alive or not? Or is there any way you can help me find out if she's alright?

He sighed and looked down at his black shoes.

- If you didn't do the job he asked you to, which you clearly didn't. Then there's very little chance that she's alive. He doesn't spare anyone.

His last words faded. I felt my knees go weak. My eyes teared up and I was shaking. I blamed myself for letting this happen to her. I fell on my knees and let my tears fall on the marble floor.

I didn't care about the others around me talking about my behaviour. Or Dante's angry look. I felt numb. Eveything inside went numb. I didn't even realize Aldrics hand on me till I saw it. Now I wanted to kill that bitch even more. I wanted to strangle him to death. But what was the point? Killing him wouldn't bring my mother back. I'd only become a killer.

I wanted to find Hayden and make him pay for what he has done. But a pet alone in a world like this was helpless.
