Throwing Away the Good (Enforcers and Coterie #0.5)
Veronica Del Rosa
I lusted after him the first time I laid eyes in him. He was simply beautiful, more radiant and alive than the Fae holding me captive. And that's saying a lot as the Fae are breathtaking to behold.
There was something about him though, a quiet dignity that shone through his lowly station. I'd heard the rumors of his existence, a sex slave to the master, sometimes sold to the highest bidder for the night. And yet, he walked with his head held high, metaphorically, that is.
He hid his face most of the time, staring at the ground. The reactions he received to his unearthly beauty showed me why. The Fae ogled him with lust, greed and a need to possess him.
Still, he showed kindness to the other slaves, me included. He'd take beatings meant for others as he knew the master would never do anything to permanently scar him. He'd slip me extra scraps of food and convinced the master to let me train in the weapons room. There, I felt in control, powerful and it helped me realize an important truth.
I was not a slave. My destiny did not belong to the master. I would hold my head up with dignity and wait for an opportunity to escape. Soon that day would come. I only hoped I could take him with me.
This is Karl's story.
