2 : The SS Club

His gaze gently crossed the red ceiling and the astronomical chandelier.

A familiar scent was hanging in the air. Voices were echoeing around him and unexpectedly, a face appeared above him.

The young girl staring at him immediately started to cry.

"- Haru !!! " She sobbed as she hugged the Omega.

Her sweet, pumpkin scent enveloped him warmly. Unable to say anything, Haru hugged her back tenderly, happy to see his old friend again.

When he sat up, he then noticed the presence of Gustave, an older Omega - who helped him long ago - and Flore - a recessive Omega he had known when he was little.

Madame Gisèle watched him with relief and wished him a safe return with a motherly smile, the same smile that Haru had hoped to see again during these three years of captivity.

"- What happened to you ?!" Lola cried, finally pulling away from him.

Haru opened his mouth but immediately closed it. His body began to shake and horrible flashbacks passed before his eyes.

He did not notice that Gisele was watching him with concern. As the owner of the SS Club, it was her duty to know everything that was happening to her employees and her peoples.

Therefore, Haru's nightmare wasn't a secret to her. She had known the truth far too late. She had done everything to get Haru back, but his Alpha had prevented her.

She had refunded him the full amount of his purchase, but he had simply shouted that Haru was his.

Gisèle hoped to find help soon. When told that Haru was outside in the winter cold of the town of Androuse, she couldn't believe her ears.

In three years, the Omega hadn't changed. He even looked younger, but didn't shine as much.

Horror had taken Gisele from all life when she discovered his lean body, the skin that stuck to his bones and the many scars and barely healed wounds his tiny body concealed.

Gisele brought him here straight away. In the process, she found a note in Haru's robe. The little crushed paper simply said, "I'll give it back to you. It's broken. "

Faced with this sickening word, Gisèle could only cry. She had watched over Haru all night, begging him to forgive her. The Omega's sleepy face had dashed her hopes. She thought he would never wake up, but there he was sitting in front of her, purple eyes roaming the large room that she normally used as her office.

Gisèle came out of her painful thoughts, when Flore yelled at Lola to shut up.

"- Give him time to answer !" yelled the little recessive Omega, pissed off.

Haru tried to smile but couldn't bring himself to do so. He wanted to tell them so many things, but… he just couldn't.

The trauma he had suffered was such that he had lost the ability to speak. No… in truth he didn't want to talk anymore. He didn't have the courage nor the strength.

Gisele tore herself from her desk and clapped her hands to get the attention of the four Omegas.

"- Haru needs a rest. Leave us, "she said to Lola, Gustave and Flore.

Lola grumbled and Flore complained. Neither of them wanted to part from Haru, not after seeing him in this state. But the pacifist Gustave succeeded in convincing them.

Once out of the room, Gisele settled on the edge of the bed, next to Haru. She placed the bed here because she didn't want Haru away from her eyes.

Gisèle was a charismatic woman. A splendid Alpha with a big heart. In this era where society divided people by their gender (Alpha, Beta and Omega), Gisèle didn't give a damn about any of this.

The SS club belonged to her late grandfather; a tough but fair man. He had started this club with the intention of helping the Omega in need.

The place was a shelter for the abandoned Omegas, the rejected one or the Omegas who was not accepted by their families.

The Club opened its doors only to high society. The hosted Omegas paid their debt by working for the club.

The Omegas were selling their service: discussion, company, dinner, sex. It depended on the rank of the Omegas within the Club and on their willing and wishing.

The more an Omega was sponsored, the higher was his rank. The club closely monitored all exchanges between their Omegas and customers.

Omegas could never leave the Club alone even if the service requested falls into the "Date" or "face to face" category. The Omega was always accompanied by two bodyguards. A GPS bracelet allowed the Club to follow their Omegas in case of trouble.

In return of their works, the SS Club took care of the education of the Omega and paid them a deserved salary. The club was also ensuring their safety and was covering their health coverage. The well-being of Omegas came first. During their heat, Omegas weren't allowed to work. A pregnant Omega should instead help with household chores or administrative paperwork.

From the age of 20, Omegas were free to pursue a professional career or their studies outside the club. The SS Club assisted them in all procedures. They could also leave the club and live elsewhere as an adult.

In conclusion, the SS Club was renowned as being the most popular club and the most protective towards its Omegas.

The Omegas sent there rarely left the area. The SS Club was a real home for them and its employees formed a warm family.
