I don’t even argue as he lifts me up in his arms, the chain rattling as he places me on the mattress and covers me with the comforter, the proof of my captivity sticking out from the blankets and connecting to the pole in the corner of the room.
I feel him pull on the chain as I close my eyes, then his thumb rubs across my ankle.
“Don’t,” I mumble, but it comes out more as a grunt.
I don’t want him touching me.
“You don’t need this anymore,” he murmurs, his tone laced with guilt. It’s as if he’s starting to realize how cruel he is. “The door has been locked this whole time. And it’s not as if you can overpower me,” he adds quietly, talking to himself.
He’s trying to convince himself to unlock the manacle.
I hum in response.
Unfortunately, he’s right.
I have no energy to fight him. He’s extremely fit, with a powerful body so big that I confused him for an Alpha the first time I met him.
“I have to take your blood later today,” he adds quickly. “But I’ll take it here in your nest. You don’t even have to be awake.”

He’s going to kill me.
I’ll never be able to see April again.
I’ll never know if Landon and River found her.
Landon and River…
I miss them so much.
Landon’s calm, powerful demeanor and his sweet smile. River and his vulnerability, but with so much strength behind it.
They’re opposites, yet they’re perfect for me.
But I kicked them out of my house.
I told them to leave. I told them I didn’t want them anymore.
And judging by the looks on their faces, they believed me.
Yet my inner Omega screams for them.
I wish it was Landon smoothing my hair back and tucking me into bed.
I wish it was River’s shirts surrounding me, his spicy scent enveloping me.
They were the best Alphas I’ve ever had, and I’ve lost them forever.
I succumb to my sorrow and sickness, existing in the space between consciousness and unconsciousness.

“They’re malnourished, but otherwise alright physically,” Landon informs me. “No one has…died yet, as far as we know. But the longer they’re kept and with the blood loss…”
