The gravel cuts into my bare feet, but then the alpha lifts me in his arms and carries me across the grounds. I almost fall asleep against his chest, letting the sound of his strong heartbeat soothe me. But then I snap awake, remembering where I am.

These alphas are not my friends. They do not mean well. One of them still intends to kill me. I heard him with my own ears.

A voice at the back of my mind tells me that now is my chance. If I could just squirm out of the alpha’s arms, I could make my bold getaway.

Yet I stay put. One, I’m outnumbered, and it’s not like I could climb the high walls around the estate anyway. I really am trapped.

But I also think it has something to do with the warm alpha. The way he carries me in his arms. It’s... kind of nice. He squeezes me ever so slightly, just enough to communicate to me that he has my back.

He won’t let anything happen to me. He will stop his buddies if he has to.

Maybe I am losing my mind. But still,I can’t afford to be lulled into a false sense of security. I’m in terrible danger. These men were hired hitmen, sent by the government to kill me.

I cannot trust them. I can only trust myself.

There comes the sound of a heavy door opening next, and then a putrid smell reaches my nose.

It’s bleach.

Where the hell have they taken me?

Sebastian and Isaac lead me down a set of concrete stairs, and I wonder what happened to the third one. Did he get tired of me already?

He really is one merciless bastard. He was so prepared to kill me before, but Isaac stopped him on time.

Maybe he is my friend.

I think I finally understand the origins of the bleach smell. They’ve taken me to a torture chamber. They’ve killed people here.Soon the walls of my new cell will be stained with my own blood, and my head spins as I start to panic.

Will I ever come out of this cell again?

I wish they hadn’t blindfolded me now. I would have loved to have seen the light of day before I died. Even if the sky is gray and dismal today.

Finally, we reach the bottom of the stairs. The alpha sets me on my feet then removes my blindfold, and now I narrow my eyes as I gaze around my new dwelling.

Well, it’s an upgrade from the cell I had back at the OCC, but it’s still pretty bare. Well, for an omega’s needs. There are no blankets or sheets on the bed. The bed only has one pillow, and the mattress is covered in urine stains.

Lovely.

At least there’s a sink.

“Home sweet home…” Isaac remarks, and I hunch my shoulders, gazing at the floor.

Goosebumps pop along my arms as I feel their eyes all over me, and are they thinking about how they’re going to kill me?

I wish they would just hurry up and get it over with. This is just too cruel.

Just kill me and be done with it.

“Let’s go.”

My heart cleaves in two at the sound of Sebastian’s hollow voice, and are they leaving already? They climb up the stairs, shutting the door behind them as they lock me inside, and I’m finally alone.

In a panicked state, I duck beneath the bed, rolling up into a ball as I breathe through my nose. It will only be a matter of time until they come back. The only thing I can do now is count down the hours.

I’m not even sure if they still intend to kill me. I’m getting mixed signals for sure, and it’s enough to drive an omega crazy.

No one deserves this. Not even a lowly omega like me who stabbed her correction officer with a shiv.

This is a fate worse than death.
