WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

2021-11-14 20:24:55Leda tasted the name on her lips for the thousandth time as she waited for the skycar to plummet all the way back to the lower levels. She had already looked him up on the Newsweb and what she had found should not have done anything but make her want to stay as far away from him as possible.
And yet, the recall of his hands was burned onto her skin. The small window of their apartment was dark as the car floated above the dirt. She wondered how long it took to clean off all the dust and soot that now coated the previously polished surface. The hovels left a stain on anyone who ventured there, except hers could not be as easily washed away as mud would off the skycar.
“Thanks for the ride,” she muttered, voice heavy with sarcasm, before banging the door shut behind her. Cythia had promised not to wait up, saying she wanted to be rested when the guardians arrived to tell her that Leds had been taken to detention. As much as the nagging annoyed her, she had to

Painful animosity grew slowly inside of her like a rosebush made only of thorns. It wasn’t just the political types who looked down on Omegas, the rest of the population had similar ideas about what it meant to be part of the weakest dynamic: Naive, simple, and easily led.She fought her nature not just because of what it required, but because to be Omega meant having the respect of absolutely no one. Why did she have to sacrifice so much, only to gain so very little?Leda pushed open the door of the Diner and even that small movement seemed to sap her off all energy. Her arms felt like weights at her sides and she wondered how she could possibly make it through her shift.Selene was standing by the counter with a terminal in her hands, a very stressed look on her face. “What are you doing here?”Sliding an apron over her head, Leda frowned at the older woman. “Working, what else would I be doing?”“Did you not r

“I’m assigned to diner #075, but I was told to report here today.” Leda responded.“Oh! another one of you.” Her voice was diverted, but there was no malice in her expression.“This is a bit different from diner service, so I hope you learn quickly. The food preparation area is through there, ask for Kane and tell him that I said he should get you a attire.”The woman turned away and resumed yelling into her headset, dismissing her before Leda had the chance to ask anything else.Leda wove through a puzzle of tables, each laid out with a full service of flatware and fine china. This would be substantially different from serving in the diner as the meals there did not tend to come in multiple courses.A complicated art piece made from multiple glowing lights hung above the center of the arbor, seemingly suspended in midair.

Leda worked as if her mind was outside of her body. She placed plates piled high with chicken heavy under cream sauce and freshly picked vegetables just lightly steamed. She recognized herself to be in a haze, with only enough awareness of her surroundings to perform the most basic of tasks. Luckily, that was all that was required of her. She retrieved the empty plate from in front of a man who did not even bother to look at her as he demanded his wine glass be refilled. She complied, face empty and placid, as the feedback from a microphone going live came from a nearby speaker. When Leda’s gaze moved to the podium at the front of the pavilion, the same Alpha woman she had met earlier was standing at the podium. “Thank you all for being here this evening. My name is Helen Hart and I am the chairwoman of the Aquila Children’s Hospital Foundation. As you all know, the proceeds from tonight’s event will support the expansion of the Center for Genetic Disease on

His threat was clear. There were dozens of males within range of her scent who would fall on her at the firstest opportunity without reason or restraint. She could already hear the shouts and raised voices just on the other side of the wall. Others in the pavilion had already caught her scent They were moments from being discovered. And part of her wanted nothing more than to be filled so completely that it tore her apart, regardless of the consequences. Leda ground her body against his thigh, but the light friction wasn’t enough to slake the fire burning in her. She needed something that only an Alpha could provide. The aroma of their combined scents had saturated the air. And the smell of him made her feel crazed, it was like the most delicious meal, the sweetest perfume and the headiest intoxicant all rolled into one. His hot mouth pressed against the delicate skin of her throat, with just the slightest press of teeth as he spoke. “Decide.”

Leda was engulfed in an agonizing haze, as if she had leaped from a skycar hovering over the Astropolis and plummeted hundreds of miles to the ground. Her entire body was on fire, with a deep ache pulsating from every part of her being. She felt as though she had been torn apart. As she struggled to open her eyes, all she could see was an overwhelming darkness. The soft surface underneath her only amplified the searing pain emanating from the wound on her shoulder. She was paralyzed and surrounded by stillness, unable to perceive anything except a constant throbbing. Leda's body reacted to her despair, as she curled up into a ball and held herself tight. She felt as though she was only a consciousness trapped in a silent, painful void, perhaps resembling what death would feel like. Suddenly, a bright light blinded her, bringing a stark contrast to the darkness. The light was as agonizing as the pain, causing Leda to produce a keening sound akin to a dying animal. Each breath was a s

Realistically, Leda knew this would not be an easy feat, given Brumeh's power and resources. Nevertheless, her determination was unwavering. She was determined to find a way out, regardless of the cost.Brumeh reluctantly acknowledged the doctor's words and allowed his mate to sink back onto the sheets. "I'll be back. Let me know if anything changes. And don't forget that if she dies, you die too," he warned before turning on his heel and slamming the door shut behind him. His eyes blazed with molten gold as he surveyed the room.Leda watched as the doctor leaned over her with a calm expression. He gently examined her body, in stark contrast to the Alpha male who had pawed at her. However, Leda still flinched as each bruise was prodded."I can't give you enough pain relief without knocking you out again," the doctor explained, typing on a beeping terminal above her head. "But in your current state, unconsciousness might be a blessing."Memories flooded back to her. The Alpha had done

A green-gloved hand swept across the large display that made up the surfaceof the desk. It then turned the block of text scrolling across so that itoriented in her direction. His second hand casually pushed the stylus towards her.Leda had never been told the man’s name. She had only ever heard himcalled The Whoremonger.She winked down at the tiny printed lines, trying to make sense of thecomplicated legalese that might as well have been written in anotherlanguage.“With you?” She tried for flippant to cover her mounting unease, but hervoice rumbled on the last word.The older Alpha chuckled, the tone was intense and full-bodied. But the smile didn’t quite catch the eyes that polled her with a calculated coldness. The silence sloped for a long moment as his gaze never broke from hers.A steady buzz of shuttles flying past the window of his high-rise office wasthe only sound, but even that drew her away.

Leda had acquired her history lessons in school as well as anyone else,but that didn’t mean all the questions about her world had been resolved.Details of the thousand-year war that had destroyed humanity had beendiscussed to exhaustion. Those who survived had been forever changed bythe biological and viral agents that were used without approval by all sides asthe world dissolved in war. But huge gaps existed in the fossil record,so it was impossible to know how far they had come from their ancestors.She had wanted to explore history at the College, perhaps become anacademic or a researcher and unearth the secrets that hadn’t withstood thegreat wars of the past.

“How long?” He asked.“Days, maybe less. I’d say three cycles at the most.” Jason replied.“Then it is crucial that we maintain surveillance. Have you had any difficulties following her?” Brumeh asked."Everyone in the hovels is too wrapped up in their own suffering to worry about one strange face. No one suspects a thing.” Jason scoffed.Brumeh reopened the terminal screen and navigated to the camera feeds, which between all of them covered most of the city. It would only be a matter of time before he claimed the girl and when that happened she would never be out of his sight again.His people had not installed the cameras, but it was a simple enough thing to hack even the feeds. The Central Command had contracted out too much of the infrastructure work required in the city to maintain complete control over much of anything. Brumeh was not the first to take benefit of the relative chaos, but he was particularl

“I thought for sure you would have sex with her.”Brume glanced up to where his second-in-command stood in the open doorway, arms crossed over his chest. He refunded his attention to the terminal on his desk where lines of code marched across the screen.“I do not have sex with Betas.” He replied.“So you have said more times than I care to count. I thought you said earlier that this girl is not Beta.” Jason added, as he get into the room and shut the door behind him.His expression remained inscrutable, but a trace of curiosity colored his voice. “Or have you now changed your mind about that?”“I have not changed my mind about anything and I am absolutely sure about the girl. However, I prefer to wait until the proof is confirmed”, Brumeh replied as he touched a few buttons on the terminal before closing his feed.Certain things were meant for his eyes only, and that included his second.
