Chapter 9 A way out
I freeze instantly upon hearing that, somehow I knew the lady is a vamp. Oh God, why am I so unlucky? Is she going to kill me now?
“You’re the new alpha king’s concubine, right?”
Concubine?
She pressed a blade to the back, not too hard to wound me, “Answer me.”
I nodded quickly, “Yes, I am. Please don’t hurt me.” I whimpered.
“Quiet. Look, I can help you get out of here, there’s a way out, but that depends on if you want to leave.”
I blinked, “You know a way out?” That wasn’t what I was expecting. My heart rate spiked up in excitement, knowing I can leave here without depending on Knox. I can leave before my one-week expires.
“Yes, but I don’t have much time, just do as I say. Got it?”
I nodded and listened to her plan, “Remember, don’t tell anyone about it or else you’ll be killed.”
With that, she slipped out of the dressing room, leaving me in a shocking state. Not long after that, I heard…
“Delaney?”
I jumped at the voice, Vendetta was standing outside the dressing room. I open the curtains and stared at her, “Yes?”
She stares at me with a frown on her face, “Did something happen? Why haven’t you tried them on yet?”
“No, nothing happened.”
“Then why is your heart racing? Was someone here with you?” She asks, glancing inside the room. I made sure my walls were tightly shut, so she couldn’t read my mind before laughing.
“No, not at all. I’m just thinking of what might happen if I don’t buy what Knox wants. I mean, I should buy what I’m comfortable in, right?”
She stared at me for a while then her lips slowly curled up in a smile exposing her fangs, “Now that I think about it, you are right. I will kill to see the look on his face when he sees you it he he” She took the panties, “come on, let’s pick up things you’re interested in.”
I breathed out relief and followed her out, throughout the shopping, I couldn’t bring myself to be enthusiastic anymore, my mind was filled up with what the lady said. In three days, she’d help me get out of here, I just have to wait patiently and not let anyone suspect anything. Vendetta was about to go into the shoe section when I stopped her. I mean, gosh, she’s spending too much money on irrelevant things I’ll probably leave behind when I escape from here. It also means Knox is rich, according to what Etta said, he doesn’t care about the money.
“I think that’s enough for today, Etta, I can barely walk.” My tummy rumbled loudly, announcing I’m hungry. I don’t think I’ve eaten anything since I came here.
She facepalmed, “Yeah, you’re right. I’ve totally forgotten you are a human. Okay, come on, let’s get something to eat.”
I shook my head, “No, take me home please, I’ll eat something when I get home.” Wherever that is.
Noticing my mood, she agreed. The ride home was quiet, I lean on the windshield while gazing out of the window. I didn’t realize when the car stopped till Vendetta tapped me.
“We are here.”
“Oh!” I was about to get out of the car when she grabbed my hand.
“Give him a chance Delaney, I know all this seems crazy but with time, you’ll adjust. I promise, just give him a chance, you’ll see that he isn’t as bad as he seems to be, okay?”
I stared at her as if she were crazy. Furthermore, I should give him a chance? How about my life? Why isn’t she saying anything about my leaving? Does she expect me to throw away my life just because the Alpha king chose me?
I wanted to yell these words to her, but I realize it was pointless, she will try to convince me to look at the bright side, so I forced a smile and nodded.
“Great! I would have loved to go in with you, but unfortunately, I have something to do. Just go in, you’ll see Katrina. She’d help you take care of things here, okay? I’ll stop by in two days.”
I wanted her to stay but know it isn’t possible, so I nod “Alright.”
Isn’t she scared I’ll run away? Maybe she knows no one will show me the way out, so she’s carefree about it. Only does she know… Shaking my head, I strolled to the entrance of the building. I was expecting a small house, instead it’s I’m faced with a mansion. Hold on, Etta said this is my house from now on? Wow! I’m now beginning to understand why those humans like it here, they spoil them with riches – something that some can’t afford on their own, and with time they eventually forget about their loved ones.
Katrina was in the living room when I walked in, I was shocked by her appearance and panicked a bit because I was expecting an old woman rather than a woman who seems to be in her late thirties, but she’s still beautiful nonetheless.
“You are Katrina?”
The lady smiled, “Yes Miss Delaney. I’ll help take care of things around here.”
“Are you… a vampire?” I asked
She cackled loudly, “Of course not, I’m human just like yourself. How old do you think I am?”
“38?”
She grinned, “No dear, I’m Seventy-six years old this year.”
I stared at her, stunned.
“Surprising right?” I nodded. She took my hand and led me to a couch, “You must have thought why those female humans are happy to be here right?”
I nod.
“This one of the reasons, as long as a vampire continues to feed on you, their saliva alternate through your bloodstream. With time, you’ll notice you heal quickly, you don’t get sick, and so on. But they continue feeding on you for a year or two, it’ll also slow your ageing. Humans are after immortality, especially females, no one wants to get old looking ugly with wrinkles all over their faces so even if they were taken from their families, they’ll look at the brighter side and see that this is better.”
Understanding the gist of it, I gaze at Katrina for a moment before asking, “Are you also like them? After immortality?”
She laughed sadly”No, I wish I’m like them, at least it’ll be my choice, but it’s not.”NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said that…”
“It’s okay, dear, that will be a story for another day. Vendetta told me you’re hungry, I prepared something for you, come on.”
Watching her leave, I couldn’t help but wonder what her story is, I’m sure she’s still haunted by those memories, I saw it in her eyes when I asked that question.

In a blink of an eye, four days have passed with no news from the lady, she never told me where to find her, according to her, she’d find me on the third day. I’ve been pacing anxiously in my big bedroom since morning, contemplating what to do. I don’t know if that lady is to be trusted, she might have motives for offering to help, but what? I’m running out of time and don’t think there’s any other choice but to trust the vamp. The Alpha king will be here in two days. I know this because he told me so, in my head, of course! He kept sending images of things he’d do to me after I make my decision, which has turned me into a horny lady for the past three days. The worst thing is, I tried touching myself like I always do, but found it isn’t working out for me.
Just like now, I’m laying on the bed writhing from ecstasy, but I can’t seem to find my orgasm. I tug at my nipples moaning softly at the slight pain, my finger drifted down to my clit, rubbing against the knob fiercely. Seeing that it wasn’t enough, I inserted my fingers, my walls clammed down on it tightly as I began working it in and out of me.
A growl came out of my mouth because it isn’t enough! I wanted more, even though I don’t know what I want at the moment, I was becoming frustrated by the minute.
My fingers found the right spot, making me moan out loud – not too loud for Katrina to hear. My fingers began working faster, its movement became frantic as my orgasm drew nearer. So close. My tummy tightened, I pinched my breasts hard and was so close to my orgasm when the doorbell rang.
I stilled instantly.
It can’t be that she’s here, right? The girl from the market! But why would she come through the front door?
Annoyed at my attempt to ejaculate, I quickly ran out of the room, hoping to reach the door before Katrina does, the last thing I want is for her to get suspicious about my leaving.
