Charlotte POV

I held on to Darius as long as I could. We strode down the halls following Merris to the event.

"Are you okay?" he asked. "Nervous?" He stopped walking and turned. "Char?" When I said nothing, he pulled me into his arms. "You are safe wherever you are." He held my face in his hands. "Do you believe me?"

I nodded slowly.

"That's my girl." He kissed me, and as always, I felt better. We were brought to a room with three doors that laid behind a bookcase.

Merris cleared his throat. "The door on the left is for vampires only. The door on the right is for slaves. The center is for both, which isn't open yet."

I stood there numbly, looking up at Darius. You are safe wherever you are

"You may wait with the others until it opens." Merris offered, gesturing toward two doors. 

Shanti looked into my eyes and took my hand. I glanced at Drake, who nodded. We went through the door and went down a spiral staircase.

We got down the staircase and were barely able to see. SO many humans were there, may scantily clad. There were bare chests and lace bras and collars everywhere. Some of these people were downright beautiful. It was like a gigantic room of living dolls or a lingerie party-even a rave, certainly not pajama.

"What do we do now?" Shanti asked me. "Wanna eat?"

I looked at the buffet. It was barely touched. "Is that seafood?" I asked. "Oh, I'm really not supposed to eat that--"

"Look, there's salmon, that's okay."

"It has to be cooked." 

"Yeah, that's true--"

I couldn't help but notice as we moved to the buffet table, blood slaves noticed us. 

"Are you Lord Drake's?" A woman asked.

"She is," I gestured toward Shanti.

"Is he looking for more blood slaves?"

Shanti's eyes turned.
