“It’s sick, isn’t it?”
“We need to find a way out of this fucking place,” I said. “I think we should go to the social room and talk to the other omegas. Figure this place out so we can find a way out of here.”
Olivia sighed, running her hand over her messy brown hair. “Yeah, you’re right. Let me get dressed. Don’t go anywhere, okay?”
“I won’t,” I promised as I grabbed the comb from her assigned dresser. “I’ll be right here until you’re done, and then we can go together.”
The Social Room, as they called it, was a beautiful sunlit room surrounded by glass windows. There were huge vases of flowers in every corner, creating such a feminine atmosphere as I walked around with Olivia. I longed to lay on the massage tables and get pampered, but I had to see what was going on. Most of the omegas stared at us as we walked in to meet our kind.
I had never seen so many omegas gathered in one place before. I only knew a few omegas in my close-knit group of friends.
To see fifty of them in one room was astonishing to me. Different omega scents flooded the air, all flowery and light. My scent was the most boring, and I hoped no one would notice among all the other scents.
“God, it’s overpowering in here,” said Olivia, wrinkling her nose. “There aren’t any scent blockers for anyone to put on either.”
“I know,” I said. “Damn, look at the food table.”
There were two tables lined with sweets that omegas typically enjoyed. The different flavored ice creams immediately caught my eye, and my mouth watered. I was for sure going to grab that later. But I was hungry for something real after the long car ride, so I poured the hot, steamy food onto my plate. While picking out the food, a feeling of sadness and homesickness washed over me.
I missed Ryder, and I was shocked at myself for feeling that.
“Girl, are you just grabbing everything?” said Olivia.
“I don’t care,” I said. “They’re the ones who kidnapped us. They might as well feed us good.”
“Haha,” said Olivia, stacking her plate with a massive scoop of rice.
After sufficiently piled our plates with food, we found an empty cushion in this giant social room. As we sat and ate, I was mostly on alert that we’d get dragged away anytime to get knotted and bred. But as I observed the omegas, they all looked…relaxed. Relaxed, pampered, and fed. I didn’t like any of this one bit.
“I was so hungry,” said Olivia. “But I refused to eat anything when I first arrived here.”
“You mean, you didn’t eat anything from the time you got here?” I asked, shocked. I barely survived today, especially after the long, hot car ride.
“Nope,” said Olivia. “I was on edge until you knocked on my door. Now I’m more relaxed and not so alone, you know?”
Tears pricked my eyes. Olivia wasn’t one to get all mushy like this, and for her to open up like this was a big deal.
“You’re going to make me cry,” I said, smiling through my tears. “We’ll get out of here, one way or another.”
“I know,” she said, her eyes glistening. “I’ll be counting the days until that happens.”
I began to wonder if there was any hope at all, but I had to say it for her comfort, at least. Realistically, I didn’t think anyone would look for me unless my family tried to visit me or heard about me on the news. Ben and Ty would probably contact my family if I didn’t show up to work. That was that, at least.
“Good evening, omegas,” announced Henry, walking into the Social Room. A few omegas giggled, and a few waved at him. They all looked delighted to meet him, and I wondered if he knotted any of them. The thought suddenly grossed me out.
“Ugh, it’s like a cult,” I said.
“Tell me about it,” said Olivia.
“I want to welcome our newest arrivals,” said Henry, his eyes on me. “Our job as alphas is to ensure you are all comfortable and well-taken care of. We aim to produce the healthiest alpha babies on Howl’s Edge.”
I looked over at Olivia, who was rolling her eyes.
“He didn’t need to kidnap us for that.”
“But not only that,” continued Henry in a louder voice. I was sure he could hear Olivia with his powerful alpha hearing. “Many of you have found a better home here than anywhere else in the real world. In here, you could live out your full omega potential. Nesting, breeding, and being shown all the love and cuddles in the world.”
I could hear all the sighs of contentment from the omegas in the room. It was a dream life of many omegas, but notmydream. I wanted to sing. I didn’t want to end up giving birth to a bunch of babies and never see my family again.
