Chapter 109 The Real Brothel
SERAPHINA
“Grace doesn’t seem to be here,” he murmured, his voice growing quieter, serious.
I followed his gaze toward the she–wolves being auctioned off one by one, trembling in the arms of the highest bidders. Ye most of their eyes were still fixed on me.
My skin crawled under the sheer veil.
Still I didn’t look away from that velvet curtain.
We hadn’t come this far for nothing.
Tonight’s auction was nearing its end, and Grace had not appeared.

My fists clenched tightly in my lap. “How come she’s not here?” I whispered, just as static flickered in my earpiece, “That means she has to be on the floors that Ronan, Asher and Finn are checking.”
Asher’s voice filtered in first, “Nothing. We checked every room. She’s not here.”
Then Finn. “Same. No sign of her on my floors.”
I stiffened. How was this possible? Was Grace really not here?
Ryker and I exchanged a look.
Before either of us could speak, the brothel owner approached again, a smug curl on his lips. “So, shall we make that deal now?” he said, voice syrupy and gleaming with self–satisfaction.
Then, like lightning in my chest, Ronan’s voice came through the private frequency that only I shared with him, reminding me of the words before we entered Nightshade Alley.
My eyes flicked up to where he stood, barely visible between the pillars of the upper floor. Our gazes locked.
Just like that, I found myself lowering my gaze.
I never said yes to him, I hadn’t promised him anything knowing that to stay safe in this hellhole was impossible especially when I was a dollboy. I hadn’t promised that I would be safe. As his possessive yet protective voice echoed in my ear. something strange bloomed in my chest. I wanted to be safe….

The brothel owner’s voice snapped me back. “Your dollboy for my best girl? I’ll even throw in a private room upstairs.”
“The offer’s tempting.” Ryker said lazily, swirling the wine in his glass, “But none of your girls caught my eye.”
The man’s lips twitched in annoyance.
“Perhaps if the Alpha would share his tastes, I can serve him properly,” he suggested, tone oily.
These girls are too young Too whiny” Ryker said with an elegant sneer. “I want something wild, something worth taming. Not weak little Omega
Tie was speaking in code. I instantly caught on.
He wanted to see the girls of Alpha blond.
The owner’s smile thinned I saw the flicker of calculation in his eyes. Did he suspect something!
“If you’ve got nothing worth my time. Ryker added, ring to his feet and dragging me with him by the winst “this deal’s of
“Wait the larothel owner backed “We do have girls like that Not weak. Not whiny New arrivals Alpha blood Untouched.”
My heart skipped.

Across the room. I saw it, the way Ronan, Asher, and Finn froze in their positions. Every one of them were listening. Every one of them were thinking the same thing.
Grace
“She’s one of them. I whispered under my breath.
The brothel owner turned back to Ryker, “Sol Do we have a deal?”
The man extended his hand, ready to shake.
Something twisted in my gut. My muscles locked. I didn’t want to go.
Ryker hesitated and then placed my hand in the man’s with a calm smile.
“Deal,” he said smoothly, “Now, I want to see those girls.”
The man grinned, satisfied. “Of course.”
Just like that, he yanked me forward. Where was he taking me? Should he not send me with other girls?
His grip was strong, dragging me across the room. I stumbled slightly as I looked back.
Ryker moved to follow but he was immediately intercepted by another wolf. The man wore a fake, polished smile, bowing deeply to Ryker as he blocked his path.
The sharp glance Ryker sent his way told me he didn’t buy the politeness for a second.
I caught the moment Ryker’s eyes darted to the three others, Ronan, Finn, and Asher, each stationed on different floors. None of them moved. None of them understood.
Neither did I.
The brothel owner was pulling me faster now. I struggled to keep pace in the heels and dress. The heels were another sick fantasy for these people.
All of their eyes followed me as the man dragged me to a narrow hallway far away from the bidding room and stopped before a blank wall. He reached out and pressed a hidden panel.
Click
A door slid open with a hiss. From behind it a silver elevator gleamed
My breath stopped.
An elevator? I hadn’t seen a single one above ground.
As he dragged me inside, my eyes flicked to the buttons on the panel.
There was only one.
He pressed it without hesitation.
I watched in horror as the light next to it glowed.
Underground
My blood at cold.
Finn
wallowed hard as the doors closed, Ronan. Ryker. Fum and Asher’s watch.
The real larothel wasts alone limas beneath.
It was underground?
