Page 228 of The Life of Anna-Tenth Anniversary Edition: Act 1

She screamed and arched her back, but he didn’t wait for her body to adjust. He thrust repeatedly, forcing her to accept him into her body without mercy. Tears streamed down her face. After she was sufficiently open to him, he pulled out and moved to her pussy.

He moved back and forth between her pussy and ass. When she stopped reacting, he paused, concentrating, and brought forth his spikes. Her screams were music to his ears. Thrusting in and out of her holes with his spikes extended coated his cock with her blood, as well as the floor beneath her hips.

When he felt the tingling of his climax, he pulled out, grabbed her hair, and dragged her up and onto her knees. Her eyes turned soft, as they had with Oscar, but he refused to give into her silent pleadings.

“Open,” he commanded.

She opened her lips and accepted his bloody cock into her mouth. His spikes scraped against the roof of her mouth and she let out a muffled cry and tried to pull away. He grabbed hold of her hair in two sections to ensure she couldn’t escape, then slowly began to fuck her mouth.

Down her throat several times, she began to choke and fight against him. He was too large to allow any air flow when he was in her throat, not to mention the spikes tearing at the delicate tissue. She pushed back with her hands, but his grip held her head steady. “Oh, fuck yeah...”

There was only a short moment between each thrust and she struggled to catch her breath with the blood gurgling from her mouth. Her face was red and darkening as her need for oxygen increased. She pushed away, but her strength was failing. Her eyes rolled back into her head, her struggle lessened, and he knew she was close. He gave several more thrusts down her throat, ensuring the tissues were shredded. By the time he came, her body was limp and blood trickled out the sides of her mouth.

He stepped back and her body slumped to the floor. Blood trickled from her mouth and between her legs. Marcus came forward to check her pulse and shook his head. “She’s dead.” He glanced at Devin, who gave a small nod and turned away.

Devin strolled across the suite to his bathroom to clean up. Anna was dead, but she wouldn’t stay that way. Half-Immortals couldn’t be killed as long as they had any Immortal in them. He’d just killed the human side of her. She would revive on her own eventually, but the others didn’t need to know that. When he returned, the room was heavy with silence as the men stared at Anna’s bleeding, battered body. He sat down on the couch, leaned back, and casually crossed his legs.

The Immortals stood nearby, talking quietly to one another for a few minutes, then turned back to the Elders. “Devin has shown himself willing to do what it takes. Do you accept him as your Chairman?”

“Yes,” the Elders replied.

Devin smiled.

“We will install him tomorrow night at the Gathering,” Kaveh said solemnly. They turned to leave.

Devin stood. “Immortals, I would ask that you restore life to my Mistress,” he said in a firm voice, his chin high and eyes narrowed.

Val turned back to him, eyebrows raised. “You killed her willingly. It cannot be undone.”

Devin’s eyes narrowed further. “I cannot be Chairman without her. Restore her life!” He clenched his jaw.

Kaveh frowned. “Elders do not give orders to Immortals.”

“I am the Chairman, not a mere Elder. Chairmen may give orders to the Immortals and they must obey.” He heard murmurs of assent behind him. “Restore her.”

Kaveh narrowed his eyes, then kneeled beside Anna. He picked her up and carried her into the bedroom.

Chapter 108

Air rushed into Anna’s lungs. Gasping and coughing, she curled onto her side, grabbing at the corner of the pillow as each cough wracked her entire body with pain. She felt as if someone had thrown her against a cement wall. Blood spattered on the pillowcase. Her throat was full of liquid and she could barely get any air into her lungs. She coughed and convulsed as she struggled to breathe.

Someone moved next to her and she looked up into the golden eyes of one of the Immortals.

“Hush now,” he said in a low voice. “Let me heal you.” He gently pushed her onto her back, then trailed his hands down her body. Her throat cleared and she sucked in a desperate breath. A strange pulling sensation made her gasp. Was he pulling the pain from her body?

Anna tried hard to remember what had happened, but her mind was fuzzy. She remembered Oscar hurting her. Yes, he bit her hard. Then Devin. Devin had—Devin had fucked her throat and ripped it to shreds with his spikes. He hadn’t let her breathe and blood filled her throat...

She covered her face with her hands as tears stung her eyes. Why did Devin keep hurting her? She tried so hard to be obedient. To be a good Mistress and slave.

After about twenty minutes, the pain was gone and Kaveh straightened. “How do you feel?”

“Much better, thank you,” she said quietly. Her body was healed, but her mind? Her heart? Still ripped to shreds. Would sleep heal that?

“The Chairman wishes you to clean up and then join him in the other room.”

“Yes, Kaveh.” Anna closed her eyes for a moment, garnering her will to move. When she opened her eyes, Kaveh was gone. Can Immortals just disappear at will? Can I do that? Probably not. If only it were possible...

She crawled out of bed and walked into the bathroom to clean up as Devin wanted.
