“Holy fucking shit balls!” I gasp, spinning around with wide, wild eyes.

“I hope you mean that in a good way.” she laughs.

“Oh, yes. The best way. This place, this place is amazing!”

It might look like a rundown building from the outside, but on the inside, it looks like a luxurious hotel lobby. Everything is white and shining. Bright. So damn bright. I love it.

“Thank you. I take pride in my home,” she says, moving to stand in the middle of the room. “I don’t want to overwhelm you so soon. So, how about we get you set up in your room? Get a shower, a good night's sleep, and in the morning, we can talk and I’ll answer any questions you have. Well, the ones I’m able to answer.” She smiles.

“Who all lives here?” I ask.

“Myself, Coby, a few other Omegas that I’ve saved over the years, who never wanted to leave.” She smiles. “Our trainers, a few housekeepers, our chef, and–”

“Me!” a sweet, soft voice speaks. I look over to the marble stairs to see a woman. She’s about my size and has black hair with bright blue eyes.

“Lucy,” Duchess says in adoration, like she lives and breathes for the woman before us.

Something inside my chest hurts. I want someone to look at me like that, like they would kill everyone in the world for just simply looking at me the wrong way.

Swallowing hard, I do my best to smile at the woman.

“I’ve missed you,” the girl, Lucy, says, rushing over to Duchess. Duchess pulls her into her arms and kisses her passionately.

“You two aren’t gonna fuck in front of me, are you?” I ask, watching the two of them.

Lucy breaks away from Duchess, looking at me with wild eyes and pink cheeks. “God no,” she squeaks out.

Duchess laughs. “No.” She grins over at me, wrapping her arm around Lucy, not ashamed one bit.Good. Life’s too short to worry about every little thing.“Because if anyone saw my Omega naked, I’d gouge out their eyes.” She’s dead serious, I can tell.

Lucy looks up at her Alpha, a look of pure love on her face.

“Nice to meet you, Lucy. I’m Savvy.”

“I know.” She smiles brightly. “I’ve been excited to meet you.”

“You have?” I raise a brow.

“Oh, yes. You’ve been the talk of the underground for years now. I’m so glad you’re finally free.”

“Underground?” I frown, looking towards Duchess.

“Like I’ve said before, there’s a lot to talk about. I’ll answer all your questions and explain everything tomorrow.”

What's one more day? I nod.

“Sorry,” Lucy whispers.

“You never have anything to be sorry about.” Duchess gently grips her chin and leans down to kiss her sweetly.

“So, you're an Omega. And you're an Alpha. How many other Alphas are here?” I ask. “I’d like to know, seeing as I can’t smell anyone.”

“You can’t?” Lucy asks.

“Nope.” I shake my head.

“I’d like to do some blood work on you tomorrow and see what's going on, if that's okay?”

“Why not,” I agree. I’d like to know too. “Whatever can be reversed, I'd like it to be. I don’t want anything else controlling me.” She gives me a look of understanding. “I want to be able to smell scents and to go into heat naturally. I’m an Omega, and I don’t even slick. Like how fucked up is that? The movies make it sound like so much fun, especially when you get all turned on. Heard Alphas like that. Do you?”
