He handed me the red tag with the room number, and all I wanted to do was shred it to pieces. But I had to figure out what was happening. I entered the room and saw a large bed in the corner with a circular brown rug in front of it. There was an entire closet filled with clothes, a large mirror, and a dresser. The bed looked so comfortable, and I felt like I was ready to pass out on it. I yawned as I looked at it. The long road trip had worn me out to no end.
“Is there any way I can buy my freedom? I will pay you whatever you want,” I offered. I couldn’t have my life taken away from me just like that, and I was willing to pay any price.
“The only thing we want is to grow our island stronger with more alpha babies,” he said, smiling. “Please get yourself comfortable. Then I’d like you to come to the Social Room for the presentation.”
I said nothing as I watched him leave the room, quietly closing the door behind him. I walked around the room briefly, inspecting every drawer in the dresser. I saw that there were brand new intimate wear with tags on them.Thank goodness. The closet was filled with dresses, and lingerie. I walked into the bathroom and looked into the oval mirror above the sink. My hair was straggly and unkempt. The right side of my face displayed an angry red mark from Jordan’s abuse. I touched my face, wondering what had become of me.
As I showered, I thought about all my family's emotions once they learned I had disappeared. My mother’s panic would be unimaginable. She had told me she went crazy when she lost Gabe for a while when the Royal Pack took him. Maybe I could ask Henry if I could somehow send a message to my family. But talking to Henry was like talking to a robot. He ignored anything that required real answers and instead spoke of the greatness of this stupid camp.
I hopped out of the warm shower and dried myself off as I walked into the room. I needed something to wear and saw slippers of various colors on the shoe shelf. I slipped my finally clean feet into a pair of glittering black slippers. I picked out a pink dress from the closet that looked like it was my size. It had ruffled short sleeves and a gaping neckline, which revealed my cleavage. The dress was long but flowing, so it had plenty of airflow.
While combing my hair, I heard shouting outside my door.
I dropped the comb and quickly ran to the door, pressing my ear against it to hear.
Chapter 24
Lacy
Icouldn’thearmuchof what was happening, but it sounded like a female shouting.
“No, I’m not coming out there!” she shouted.
My eyes widened when I recognized her voice.Was Olivia here, too? What the hell was she doing here?I softly opened my door a crack and saw that she was right across from me in room sixty-three. She looked tired, her eyes baggy, and her long black hair wild around her face.
“Leave me alone,” said Olivia. “I’ll come out when I’m ready.”
“You need to eat,” said one of the alphas. There were two of them lingering at her doorstep, holding the door open with his foot. “I’ll come back to check on you.”
The two alphas shook their heads as they left.
I ran to her door once I was sure the coast was clear. I knocked on her door three times as lightly as I could.
I could barely breathe from my panic. I had no idea if this was allowed or what would happen to me if they caught me here.
“Leave me alone!” she screamed.
“Olivia, it’s me,” I muttered. The door slammed open, and she stared at me with wide doe eyes.
“Lacy!” she screamed, vaulting herself at me. We hugged and pulled away from each other, teary-eyed and unable to believe we found each other in this godforsaken place. “Come in, hurry.”
Olivia closed the door behind us as I headed to the chair in her room and sat down. She sat on the edge of the bed, looking a little bit worse for wear and still wearing pajamas.
“How long were you in here for? How did they take you?” I asked her. I wanted to ask her a million more questions, but I had no idea how long I’d be here before we were caught.
“Right after the haunted house thing. Before I could even get into my car, three men grabbed me and put a bag over my head. I passed out and woke up here,” she said, her voice breaking. “My mom’s going to be beside herself.”
“I know, mine too,” I said. “They breed omegas in here or something.”
“Every night, alphas will come into your room tocuddle you,” said Olivia, and my stomach dropped. “It’s to bring you to heat. I had my first night yesterday. I wore myself out trying to wrestle them off me, and I ended up sleeping between them.”
“Oh god,” I said, feeling sick.Was Jordan going to be in my room tonight?If so, I had no idea how I would escape him. He was adamant about being my ‘handler’ apparently.
“Why were you screaming at the alphas just now?”
“They were the ones who cuddled me all night, and they came back to check on me,” said Olivia. “They want to make sure we’re healthy and happy, mingling with everyone.”
“What the hell?”
