Sitting down beside Millie, I lean against the bars.

I don’t bother asking Millie any more questions about where we are.

Jake has sold me to a brothel that caters omega women to high-paying alphas and betas. Places like these operate underground, so the authorities never have a clue to their existence.

They bring in stray omegas like Millie. Even if they go missing, no one’d bother finding them.

I want to scream for help but doubt it’d do any good. Sitting by the barred gate, I catch glimpses of other women who’re locked in similar cells like mine. If they couldn’t get out of this place, what hope did I have?

Tears stream down my cheeks as I silently lament every decision I made since meeting Jake.

He made me believe he loved me. He wrapped me around his pinkie and played me so well, I alienated my friends and my dad.

My life wasn’t as desolate as Millie’s who grew up as an orphan. I grew up in a mansion and then went to attend the best omega academy on the East Coast. I had everything most girls would kill for, but I took everything for granted, never understanding how precious my life had been.

My heart bleeds as I think of my own mistakes.

Shame and guilt settle in my gut as I think of the horrible things I said to both Kaida and my dad when they tried to warn me about Jake. They saw how he was manipulating me and told me to stay away from him over and over again, but I never listened to them.

You deserve so much more, Kaida’s words echo in my mind.

She loved me so much but I threw it all back in her face.

I’m crying uncontrollably but Millie and her companion don’t utter a word of comfort.

The realization that no one’s coming to save me gradually settles inside me.

Kaida and Dad wouldn’t even know what happened to me because they’re used to me ignoring their calls and texts for weeks, sometimes choosing not to bother replying at all.

Jake knew what he was doing.

He concocted his plan with the cool head of a criminal mastermind.

He manipulated me into abandoning my friends and family. He made me trust him more than anyone else in the world. I became a puppet in his hands, blindly obeying him.

No one will suspect I’m in trouble for days. Jake made sure of that.

I’m sure he received millions for handing me to my captors. Those men he brought with him must be the ones who’re supporting his new career. With their help, he’ll finally be able to enter politics.

Jake got everything he wanted bysellingme.

Grief and rage collide within me, creating a storm that threatens to shatter me. I can’t breathe through the painful choke in my throat. Tears continue to stream down my face as I hopelessly stare at my dark surroundings.

“You exist for the pleasure of an alpha,” the mechanical voice repeats the bullshit message. “Submitting to an alpha will bring you the greatest joy of your life...”

Clapping my hands over my ears, I try to block out the oppressive words.

“What did I ever do to you?” I sob in a choked voice as the dark walls close in on me. “Why would you do this to me?”

Millie and her companion don’t utter a word as I break down completely. They silently witness my grief as my sobs echo all around the dark cell.

Jake used me. The cold, hard fact bores into my heart and mind, leaving me shivering and shaking.

Aurora

A loud bang against the cell’s bars jolts me out of my thoughts. Looking up, I see two women standing at the threshold.
