The Stained Omega

Chapter 12

All caged and nowhere to go.

«Anna)

TRIGGER WARNING: PHYSICAL, SEXUAL ABUSE. PROCEED WITH CAUTION.

The next time I wake up,

laid in the same position hurting. My back is aching like I’ve been

for days. I’m no longer tied, and the bag is gone from my head. I try to stand and smack my head on

some metal. poles. Well, that smarted, once the stars are gone from my vision, I realise I’m in a cage.

A cage not big enough to stand in but I can just about lie down. There are no blankets, no toilet, I see a

small window on the far side of the room but that’s it. There are no lights, it’s so dark down here. As my

eyes adjust, I realise there are more cages. Directly across from me is…I think, that might have been a

female once. She’s not breathing and from the look of her she’s been dead a while. I avert my eyes

before my stomach rebels. I see dozens of cages that all have females in them. I count at least five

dead, the females are all in various stages of undress, some don’t even have clothes on. I don’t

recognise any of them. If my wall is the same as the one, I’m facing I guess I just found the missing

females.

“Pssst Anna” I hear from my right; I know that voice. Excitement fills me, then it leaves. I wish she

wasn’t here. In the cage next to me is Eve, she’s thinner than she was when she was taken, her once

bright eyes are now a dull brown, her hair has been completely sha**d off and I think she’s missing an

ear.

“Eve?” I gasp out “Oh Goddess, what have they done to you?” I’m openly weeping for my friend now.

“I got out and managed to hurt one of them, the ear was my

punishment. Does the pack know where you are? Are they coming?” Eve seems hopeful.

“Patrick…” I gulp. “Patrick was hurt badly, James was fighting 3 wolves alone, I don’t know what

happened. I woke up in a van and then got knocked out again and now I’m here.”

“Was Alpha Fraction there, did he see you?”

“I saw a wolf running towards us, it might have been Leo, but he was too far away I don’t know for

sure.”

“Oh Goddess, no one is coming. I thought if I held out then I would be rescued. When I watched them

bring you in, I thought you were part of some plan.”

“I’m so sorry Eve. Is Lisa here? Who has us? I don’t understand any of this.” I’m sat with my knees to

my chest as Eve explains, when she’s finished. I understand, we aren’t getting out of here. None of us

are.

Eve is picking at her fingers I think as a distraction more than anything. When she speaks, she sounds

like she’s detached from what she’s saying. like she’s watching someone else say it, “When they took

me, they put me and Lisa in a van, like you we were drugged and when we woke, we were in these

cages. The beatings started almost. immediately: Lisa got it worse she kept arguing back so they would

hit her harder. As each day passed more and more females were brought in. They move the dead out

once a week, normally at night. They make sure you are dead by putting a bullet in your headfirst.” I

want Eve to stop but I also don’t, I have to know what’s coming. “Every now and again they take a few

of us upstairs.” Eve takes a deep breath “These men come, and they pay to have us. If we don’t fight

back then they feed us that night, if we fight then we get beaten to almost death. It’s how I lost my car. I

fought back hard and killed one of their customers. So, they marked me. Lisa killed herself after the first

time upstairs. She

came back covered in blood, the customer had her so hard he made her bleed. She was distraught.

That night she smashed her head against the bars until she didn’t move anymore. And then it’s just me

and these females until you got here.” She turns to me, “I wish you weren’t here but I’m glad I’m not

alone anymore.” Eve curls up on the floor facing away from me, I can barely hear her crying over my

own sobbing.

“ALMOST A YEAR AND NOTHING. MY MATE JUST VANISHED INTO THIN AIR?!” I’m shouting at the

men standing in front of me, it’s not their fault. There has been no whisper, no scent, no bodies and no

more missing females. It’s like they took Anna and vanished. It’s getting harder to manage, Leo knows

Winter is of age now, he wants his mate. Find her already’ Leo growls ‘I’m trying d**mit’ I tell my wolf.

“We got word of an auction of some females up near The Whiteridge Pack, Alpha Callum and his Beta

went to check it out, but it was female women being sold willingly.” James sits down with his whiskey.

He’s as disappointed as I am. I turn to Rick hoping he has better news than James.

“I’ve been with our guest every night for the last three months and he isn’t speaking, he either lacks the

motivation or he doesn’t know where they are.” Rick has a wicked scar on the side of his face and

down hist back after the night Anna was taken, he’s taking it as his personal mission to get her back.

The man nearly died, and he still blames himself.

“Maybe I should visit him again.” I say as I scan the emails on my computer screen, nothing new,

nothing about Anna.

“You sure that’s wise? Last time you nearly killed him.” I look at James. with a raised brow, he holds his

hands up in defence “I’m not saying he

doesn’t deserve it, but a dead rogue can’t talk Alpha.”

“I’ll keep him alive; he will wish he wasn’t when I’m done.” I cr*ck my

fingers and tell Leo to get ready as I head for the basement.
