Chapter 100: Free Use in Beast World?

Blair’s chin dipped in a tiny, involuntary nod. She had no idea what she was confirming for him.

A bright smile stretched across Jasper’s face. He reached out, gently patting her dark hair as if she were a well-behaved pet.

"It must be you, then," Jasper concluded softly. His bright blue eyes locked onto hers. "Tell me what you are."

Blair shrank back against the mirrored wall of the elevator. Her brow furrowed in genuine confusion. "W-What do you mean?" she stuttered, her voice barely a whisper.

Jasper dropped the playful tone entirely. He went straight for the kill.

"You’re the Supreme, aren’t you?" Jasper stated bluntly. "You’re an evolved human."

Blair’s eyes widened to the size of saucers. Her heart immediately began to hammer an even more frantic, erratic rhythm against her ribs.

"I... I don’t understand what you’re saying," Blair continued to stammer, shaking her head.

Jasper let out a dry, humorless chuckle. He stepped closer, crowding her space. "Whoever you’re hiding from knows it’s you," Jasper informed her coldly. "They sent that human, Caleb, to go after you. To gain your trust."

He leaned in, listing off the impossible details of her existence. He told her everything he had heard from Caleb—the forced evolution, the extreme environments she can live in, the bodies designed to survive a world overrun by beasts.

Blair stood still. Her mouth opened, then closed, then opened again. She looked like someone hearing this information for the very first time. She looked utterly lost.

Jasper’s eyes narrowed into sharp, calculating slits. He took a strand of her hair between his fingers.

"Your hair isn’t actually dark brown, is it?" Jasper accused, his voice dropping to a dangerous hush. "And your eyes aren’t brown, either."

Blair just stared at him, keeping her expression molded into one of absolute bewilderment.

The long silence stretched between them. Slowly, Jasper’s charming smile began to falter, twisting into a look of deep irritation.

"You’re a great actress," Jasper told her, his voice tightening. "But you’re beginning to annoy me."

He spun around, slapping a button on the control panel. The elevator jerked and immediately began moving again.

Jasper turned back to her, his ethereal features hardened into a mask of cruelty. He delivered a chilling threat. She was going to tell him what she was right now, or he was going to put her on a silver platter for the lonely beastmen in the lobby to have fun with.

Blair’s body began to tremble. Hot tears welled in her eyes.

"I’m human," she cried out, her voice cracking. "I’m human!"

Jasper didn’t wait for another denial. He lunged forward.

Blair tried to fight him, bringing her hands up to push him away, but it was useless. His cold hands gripped her, his supernatural strength easily overpowering her frantic struggles as he began to rip her clothes away.

"I won’t make it too difficult for them," Jasper noted casually, tossing a torn piece of fabric to the floor. "I’m sure there are many beastmen in the lobby looking for some fun tonight."

Blair clenched her eyes tightly shut as her last piece of clothing was stripped away. The cool, biting air of the elevator shaft rushed over her bare skin, making her shiver a bit.

As she fought blindly against his grip, a memory flashed behind her closed eyelids.

She was back at the church. The room was dim. One of the older sisters was kneeling in front of her, her hands gripping Blair’s small shoulders with bruising force.

You are human, Blair, the sister had hissed, her eyes wild with intensity. Human.

I am human, young Blair had repeated obediently.

Ding.

The elevator chime echoed loudly. The metal doors smoothly slid open, revealing the sprawling, crowded expanse of the hotel lobby.

Almost immediately, the predatory gaze of several beastmen snapped toward the open elevator.

Blair stopped fighting. She looked up at Jasper, hot tears streaming down her pale cheeks. "Please don’t do this," she begged, her voice a broken sob. "I swear... I swear I’m not who you’re looking for."

Jasper didn’t even blink.

He placed his hands on her bare shoulders and shoved her hard.

Blair stumbled out of the elevator. Her foot caught on the metal track of the doorway, sending her crashing hard onto her hands and knees on the floor.

She curled inward, frantically trying to cross her arms over her chest and press her thighs together to hide herself from the dozens of eyes burning into her skin. Her loud, ragged sobs echoed in the suddenly quiet lobby.

The silence didn’t last long.

The muttering started. It was low, guttural, and filthy. Beastmen nudged each other, pointing at her exposed, curvy figure and openly discussing the dirty, degrading things they wanted to do to her. A group of hulking bear beastmen near the front desk were already plotting out loud how they were going to take her as a group.

A shadow fell over her.

Jasper stooped down, crouching right beside her ear.

"You still won’t talk?" Jasper whispered, his voice a mix of awe and dark amusement. "You’d really go this far to protect your secret?"

A wide, twisted grin slowly spread across his face.

"I didn’t think it was possible," Jasper breathed out, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "But now... I’m even more interested!"

Jasper stood up. He looked out over the crowd of salivating predators.

"She is a free-for-all for tonight!" Jasper announced loudly, his voice carrying effortlessly across the lobby.

The lobby erupted.

Blair scrambled to her feet. Panic flooded her veins. She made a desperate, futile dash for the nearest exit, but she didn’t even make it three steps.

A wall of horny, towering beastmen instantly surged forward, trapping her in a tight, inescapable circle of muscle and lust. There was nowhere to run.

Jasper leaned casually back against the elevator doors, crossing his arms over his chest as he watched the trap close around her.

"Just say it, sweetheart," Jasper called out over the noise of the crowd, his smile returning. "And this will all be over."

A hand suddenly grabbed Blair’s arm.

Blair squeezed her eyes tightly shut. The tears fell freely now.

"Daemus," Blair whispered into the noise. "Please save me."
