Chapter 23: Slaves
Aymaco's POV:
As Braka and I descend the stairs of the dungeons I am invaded by the stench of blood and death, but there is even a stronger scent! Mero is alert! 'MATE! Maco our mate is there!' The smell of lemons and jazmines! I walk quickly to every cell, and then I got to where the scent was coming... to my horror there is a dirty and bloody unconscious girl inside!
"HEY YOU! OPEN THIS CELL RIGHT NOW!" I yell at one of the guards.
"Pfft! No way man, she's Theo's property, I'm not getting into any crap with one of the Gammas." Property?
"I wouldn't worry about getting into crap with Theo when you are going to get into DEEP SHIT WITH ME! NOW OPEN THIS CELL OR I WILL OPEN YOUR SKULL!" Property, what the fuck is going on here? I can tell she is an Omega! How could they treat others like THIS?
"Look man you can shout all the bullshit threats you want, I follow the orders of MY superiors!" Just as my claws are extending to END this motherfucker my sister is looking at us.
"ENOUGH!" Damn, Loiza's Alpha voice is stronger than Yadiel's, maybe even more so then Alpha Gúarionex. "What the hell is going on here?!"
"Izzy! My mate! I found her! She's in this cell!" She pushes the guard to look in the cell..."What crime did this woman commit to be locked and in THIS condition?" Loiza asked calmly.
"Crime? No, Theo bought her from Marius. He just hasn't broken her in yet." What the actual fuck was this. Like if reading my mind.
"WHAT?!" Both my sister and Braka yell. I see Yaya poke at Braka and hear him explain what's going on.
"Are you telling me that you buy and sell WOLVES, members of your packs like SLAVES?! Is THAT what your saying?" Loiza's eyes are gold and I kneel down trying to reach my mate, to touch her! The bars are made of silver, I am literally burning myself to get to her!
"I command you to open this cell at once!" Loiza is on kill mode and I am definitely not going to stop her I have been looking so long for my mate! I am 27, I have been longing this day since before I was 18!
"But Theo will kill me!" The guard is really conflicted now.
"What is your name soldier?" Loiza asks plainly.
"It's Kevin." She gives him a smile.
"Kevin, you can worry about Theo killing you latter or ME killing you NOW. When I count down to ONE that cell better be open... 5, 4, 3" Izzy didn't have to get to 2. Kevin had quickly assessed the situation he was in.
"Bother, take her to Daniella." I obey at once, I pick up my mate gently and walk out with her. I can't look at her, I feel heartbroken! My mate was bought and sold as if she was a piece of property. I walk over to the tent OUR pack was using as a medical facility. I was able to find Estefanía, Daniella's apprentice and a gifted healer.
"By The Goddess! What happened to her?!" She instructs me to place her in a gurney and takes scissors to cut off her clothes.
"She was in the dungeons." I give her an account of what happened and that this is my mate. She listens to everything with out stopping or breaking eye contact with her task, until I mention that she was sold.
"WHAT? SOLD!" And she covers her mouth remembering her care for her patient.
"She is an Omega, Maco! Why would they sell their most valuable members?" When I was still traveling gathering information, I saw how many packs treated their Omegas like trash. And always the answer to my question of "Why?" It was met with "Because they are weak." And every time I would try to explain that Chis, Psis and Omegas were weaker was because they are not meant to be Warriors.
Their energy and main gift lies with healing. They make up most doctors, healers, psychotherapists, aura readers, Chakra alignments, chiropractors, physical therapists, every single thing a pack needs to be HEALTHY is carried mainly on the backs of Chis, Psis and Omegas. Daniella was an Omega and Estefanía was a Chi. Suddenly I hear sound outside the tent, I don't want to leave my mate but she is in good hands. "I leave her to your care, I'll check what's going on." She smiles at me... "I won't let anything happen Maco, and congratulations for what it's worth." She is cutting her shirt now and I see scars... Estefanía covers them up and looks at me, "I thought you said you were leaving? Maco do your duty, let me do mine." I take a deep breath and go outside... WHAT THE HELL?!
I could not believe my eyes! Braka, Yaya and Izzy were all carrying someone in ghastly condition and putting them in front of the tent!
"General call some guards, we need help getting the rest!" She sits on the ground and looks up at me. "They basically have a fucking meat market down there! Most people are slaves and THIS one..."She points at the girl with matted pale white hair and skin, Loiza wipes the girls forehead to show a pale blue diamond birth mark. "...is a UNICORN! Do they have ANY IDEA the consequences of this?!" I have never seen a unicorn, but Izzy and Yaya have! "Maco I KNOW you are in pain and full of rage, but I need you, can you keep your shit together right now?" She had just dismissed the pack so they could rest, and I know that even with Yaya's boost and the power of an Alpha Izzy must be spent.
"I am in control Alpha, what do you need of me?" If Iza is going on I am not leaving her on her own. She smiles at me and gives me a serious look... "Wake the Alpha and Beta, if I wanted answers from Elder Joel 20 minutes ago, I NEED answers to THIS NOW! I have severed Joel's link to the pack and he isn't going anywhere" She looks at Braka: "General I want Elder Joel in a cell chained and guarded by our own men, wake Jorge and Susana, they are the best. I don't want the fucker taking his life before I get EVERY bit of information I intend to squeeze from him, so warn them to even put a tongue guard, I won't risk him bitting his own tongue off!" And like that I can barely recognize my own little sister... if she is exhausted, she is not showing it, she is angry, she's in full control of her emotions. Braka can't stop smiling, she WAS the right choice and Braka saw it on the plane.
"At once Alpha!" I run to the pack house and run up the stairs and bang on Alpha Kayden's door. Nothing... I start banging again.
"WHAT THE FUCK?!" Good he's up.
"My sister requests you and your brother right now." I tell him calmly even though my blood is boiling. He suddenly looks very pale with wide eyes. Does he know?
"Let me link Marcus and put something on, I'll be right out." A few moments later Marcus's door is open and he comes out and Kayden comes out too. They are both wearing jeans and a t-shirt, and both look nervous.
"What's this about?" Kayden asks. I just stare at him trying to see if he is capable of something like THIS. I just give him a glare.
"You will see... and I hope for my sister's sake you are unaware of this, follow me."
