***Sequel to 'Roses for Rachel'*** Everything has changed, and the stakes are twice as high. Rachel's story continues.....

I was sure the worst thing to ever happen to me would be being kidnapped, and sure, that was pretty bad. However, what was worse was being kidnapped, held captive for years, and then being auctioned off to the highest bidder. I thought maybe I had caught a little break when I found out that me and five other girls were being sold to royalty, but I should have known something about that wasn't right either. Under the cover of eternal darkness, and deep beneath the ground, was a whole world I never even dreamed existed in my wildest dreams. It was a world that promised to be more than anything I could imagine. The people who bought us told us we would have the luxurious life of a princess, but there were only two catches... 1. We would be competing against each other for the affection of the Prince who would change our whole lives by picking one of us to rule at his side. 2. That prince just happened to be a vampire.

Highest Ranking: #50 in Vampire He was there, fangs baring and eyes burning in the dark. Those fangs were alluring and captivating as they caught the harsh, orange light from the sconces lining the walls. My brain told me to run, but my feet were glued to the ground. My heart pounded against my ribcage, sending painful jolts to my limbs as they shook. "Stella....Stella...."; he breathed heavily, never taking his eyes off me. "Please-don't-" "Stella...I-" his entire body shook in strange convulsions. "No...Monticello!" automatically my hand reached out, wanting to at least reassure him I wasn't scared. But I was. His irises flared a rich red, simultaneously causing the pupils to contract. A deep growl thundered in his chest. As his mouth widened, a ferocious, feral snarl escaped and sent my heart into overdrive. I took a step back, nearly tripping over my feet as he advanced. Before I could blink, he was lunging at my throat.
