Fear instantly overcame my senses. I had been trafficked. They’re selling me to shifters. Shifters paid irresistible money to own human girls as sex slaves.

Everything was shaking all around me as if I was in the back of a moving car. An unpleasant smell that could have woken me from even my darkest dreams filled the air and convinced me that I was wide awake.  Fear instantly overcame my senses.
 Where was I? 
What was I doing here? 
Who took me? 
“Help…” I tried to shout. My torn throat wouldn’t allow it. 
In my mind, images flashed of barbaric shifters standing outside that door. Big, tall and rough creatures that knew no manners and only wanted to claim things. I’d heard stories since I was old enough to understand that they favored pretty human girls and plucked them off the roads as if they were all free for the taking.

Patara tried to move back away from the handsome young man, but he held her firm. Squeezing her chin a little harder to keep her in place. His blue-grey, beautiful eyes looked over her every feature as if he wanted to burn the image in his mind. 
“Would you like me to take you away?” He asked in a husky voice. His words made her skin litter in goosebumps. She couldn’t speak, only nod desperately.          
“And what do you offer me in exchange for your rescue? Would you like to follow me?” 
Slowly, she nodded her head and put her hand in his. 
“Remember your promises,” he said against her ear.  She held her breath. “The last person who betrayed me got to see what his insides looked like before I slit his throat.” 

Captured By The Dragon

He picked me up and threw me over his shoulder like I was a wild animal that needed to be contained. I screamed and beat on his back as he carried me out into the night as fast as he could. “Where are you taking me?”


He said nothing, nor did he react to my resistance. If I had to bet, I would even say that he was smirking at the sounds of my screams.


I caught sight of soldiers saluting him as we passed them. I wanted to spit on their faces and beat on them too. I was tired of being the helpless girl that got controlled by the biggest man in the room.


He carried me into a strange, dank building down the path from his house. It looked like a small prison from the outside. He pulled me back over his shoulder and held me tightly against his chest.


“Do you know what’s in there?” He asked against my ear. Disgust filled my stomach as he shoved me inside before I could even answer.
