Luckily, I had remembered the umber forty six on our door when we had first arrived yesterday quickly stepping towards it with Erin nervously following my lead when I did.
The guard moved to open it, shoving me gently to hurry up and get, before slamming and locking it once again – leaving us in the cold dark room we had started in.
As the heavy metal door slammed shut behind us, Erin and I were left standing in the dimly lit cell, the echoes of the day’s events still ringing in our ears. The reality of our situation hit me like a ton of bricks, and I felt a surge of despair wash over me as I realized the true extent of our predicament.
“So this is it,” Erin murmured, her voice barely above a whisper as she sank down onto the hard narrow mat against the wall. “Trapped in some godforsaken compound in the middle of Russia, with no hope of escape.”
I joined her on the makeshift bed, the weight of our circumstances pressing down on me like a leaden blanket.
“It’s m–much worse than we thought,” I agreed, my voice hollow with resignation. “We’re nothing more than breeding stock to them, disposable for their own twisted agenda! Imagine not even having the time to get to know the female that you plan on impregnating!” I throw my hands up in disbelief.
“Right?! It goes against everything our country stands for… I know we might have complained about some things back home, but it was nothing like this!” Erin sniffles, with tears gathering in her eyes.
“This isn’t our faults Erin! There was nothing we could have done to stop this from happening – it was Miss Felicity who wanted us gone! She did this!” I rant, enjoying the privacy with my friend to recollect our thoughts and share our feelings on the matter.
Without Erin here I would have crumbled by now completely… she was truly keeping me afloat!
“She’s such a fucking bitch! Why was she always so cruel?!” Erin complains loudly, as I hush her a little in fear of being heard by a guard from outside of the door.
We had been thrust into a nightmare beyond our wildest imaginings, and there was no telling what horrors lay ahead.
“We’ll find a way out of this,” I vowed, reaching out to grasp Erin’s hand in mine. “There has to be a way out of this… it can’t get much worse from here…” I breathe, not believing my own words as attempt to pick up Erin’s faith nonetheless
Erin squeezed my hand tightly, her eyes shining with unshed tears but her resolve unwavering. “Together,” she echoed, her voice steady with determination. “We’ll get through this together, Tessa. I promise.”
“Do you think that… Kane and Seth even gave us a second thought before they went back home… how could they give up so easily?!” I sigh, leaning backwards and sharing my recurring thoughts as they bullied their way in to my mind every so often.
I tried not to cry every time I thought of Kane, but my heart would crack each and every time providing a lingering ache in my
chest.
“If we are lucky, they will regret it and come for us…” Erin wipes a tear as it falls from her eye, as I close mine and hold myself together.
“I… d–don’t think they will Erin… why would anybody come all the way to Russia for two humans…” I speak my truth on Kane and Seth, knowing that hanging on to the memory of them would only hurt us both more in the long run.
That chapter was over, closed for good….
“We can only hope…” Erin states in a breath, as we hug one another tightly in comfort.

Chapter 116
Now, we just have to wait for what’s going to happen to us both next praying that no matter what it is, that we don’t get separated!
“What did the girl say? There was a view thing at four?” Erin pulls back and wipes her face with her hands.
“Yeah… we will probably meet the Alpha and the other higher ranks think… let’s j–just try to blend in!” I state, feeling nauseous at the endless outcomes from whatever the view could entail.
Erin agrees, as we both push our little mats together to create a bigger space on the floor, deciding to lay close to keep the heat and to pass the time.
All we can do now, is wait for the next part…
