The Stained Omega
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 Iâve been
for days. Iâm 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 Iâm 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 thatâs it. There are no lights, itâs so dark down here. As my
eyes adjust, I realise there are more cages. Directly across from me isâ¦I think, that might have been a
female once. Sheâs not breathing and from the look of her sheâs 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 donât even have clothes on. I donât
recognise any of them. If my wall is the same as the one, Iâm facing I guess I just found the missing
females.
âPssst Annaâ I hear from my right; I know that voice. Excitement fills me, then it leaves. I wish she
wasnât here. In the cage next to me is Eve, sheâs 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 sheâs missing an
ear.
âEve?â I gasp out âOh Goddess, what have they done to you?â Iâm openly weeping for my friend now.
âI got out and managed to hurt one of them, the ear was my

punishment. Does the pack know where you are? Are they coming?â Eve seems hopeful.
âPatrickâ¦â I gulp. âPatrick was hurt badly, James was fighting 3 wolves alone, I donât know what
happened. I woke up in a van and then got knocked out again and now Iâm here.â
âWas Alpha Fraction there, did he see you?â
âI saw a wolf running towards us, it might have been Leo, but he was too far away I donât know for
sure.â
âOh 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.â
âIâm so sorry Eve. Is Lisa here? Who has us? I donât understand any of this.â Iâm sat with my knees to
my chest as Eve explains, when sheâs finished. I understand, we arenât 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 sheâs detached from what sheâs saying. like sheâs watching someone else say it, âWhen 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.â I
want Eve to stop but I also donât, I have to know whatâs coming. âEvery now and again they take a few
of us upstairs.â Eve takes a deep breath âThese men come, and they pay to have us. If we donât fight
back then they feed us that night, if we fight then we get beaten to almost death. Itâs 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 didnât move anymore. And then itâs just me
and these females until you got here.â She turns to me, âI wish you werenât here but Iâm glad Iâm not
alone anymore.â Eve curls up on the floor facing away from me, I can barely hear her crying over my
own sobbing.

âALMOST A YEAR AND NOTHING. MY MATE JUST VANISHED INTO THIN AIR?!â Iâm shouting at the
men standing in front of me, itâs not their fault. There has been no whisper, no scent, no bodies and no
more missing females. Itâs like they took Anna and vanished. Itâs getting harder to manage, Leo knows
Winter is of age now, he wants his mate. Find her alreadyâ Leo growls âIâm trying d**mitâ I tell my wolf.
âWe 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.â James sits down with his whiskey.
Heâs as disappointed as I am. I turn to Rick hoping he has better news than James.
âIâve been with our guest every night for the last three months and he isnât speaking, he either lacks the
motivation or he doesnât know where they are.â Rick has a wicked scar on the side of his face and
down hist back after the night Anna was taken, heâs taking it as his personal mission to get her back.
The man nearly died, and he still blames himself.
âMaybe I should visit him again.â I say as I scan the emails on my computer screen, nothing new,
nothing about Anna.
âYou sure thatâs wise? Last time you nearly killed him.â I look at James. with a raised brow, he holds his
hands up in defence âIâm not saying he

doesnât deserve it, but a dead rogue canât talk Alpha.â
âIâll keep him alive; he will wish he wasnât when Iâm done.â I cr*ck my
fingers and tell Leo to get ready as I head for the basement.
