"This is the entrance to Gehenna." Milana pointed to the map alight on the screen between them. Tracing the snaking tunnels that lay right below the concrete footpaths of the Lower Reaches, she said, "This floor is for administration and separated from the true Undercroft. If your omegas are being kept in this shithole, Kieran would not stash them any lower than here. Not if he wanted to keep them alive."
Lyla stared down at the COMscreen. Seeing her people locked away like livestock brought a wave of unbearable sadness. The omegas slept ten to a cell, segregated by age, and there were less than the fifty-six that had been taken. Three Kieran had hanged, the remainder Lyla assumed had either died or been pair-bonded and dragged away. There were hardly even forty, and one was in estrous, isolated and being rutted by a stranger… the girl only sixteen.
