The sight before me is so surreal that for a moment I wonder if im seeing things. “Tony, get down here now. Everyone else stands guard. No one enters here without my permission!” I shout up to the others who are still above ground. The sounds of “Yes, Alpha‘ echo through the small opening while Tony practically jumps through the doorway missing most of the steps on the ladder on his way down. 

“What’s going on, Al-” He turns around to face me mid–sentence before looking at the sight that I am. “Please, please, tell me that I am seeing things? That this isn’t real?” I plead as he takes another step forward until he’s standing right next to me. “Loving fuck!” He growls before looking at me. “What the fuck is going on here?” I shake my head unable to find the right words because I feel the same. 

The underground tunnel that we are in is more of a box room. It’s maybe 20 feet wide by 20 feet long and has several lights hanging from the ceiling which allows us to see the horror that is in this makeshift hell hole. 

The are rows of children ranging from newborn to maybe 14 or 15 years old. The ones that can, are sitting on the concrete floor with their legs crossed and a finger on their lips like you would see in pre–school. It’s certainly not a sight you would imagine to see in this kind of situation. This place is supposed to be their home so why does it feel so different? 

I look around and there must be at least 50 children in here, and every single one of them looks dirty, unkept, and underfed, and I swear I can see a bruise or two on several of them. Yes, they are kids and I understand that they get burses. Goddess knows that Lottie was terrible for them when she was younger, but given the sight of these children, I don’t think anyone can blame me for instantly assuming the worst. Fuck, even the babies are dressed in filthy clothes. And on top of that, there are around 20 women in here that are pregnant. Some appear to be very heavily pregnant too. 

After we were kidnapped we learned as much as we could about these cults and what was going on and while we couldn’t learn all of the ins and outs, we gathered enough information to pretty much confirm that they planned to build some kind of new pack but this… what we are looking at right now… Fuck, it gives me vibes that I don’t like and while I pray that im just overthinking this, every instinct in my body tells me that this is some kind of baby mill… some kind of kiddy mill and fuck, do I feel sick! 

And as if all that wasn’t already bad enough, the next words that I hear completely blow me away and I swear im close to fucking passing out.“Nicky, is that you?” I swear to the goddess herself that my heart falls out of my ass when I hear that voice. It’s a voice that I haven’t heard since I was 12 years old, but it’s a voice that I’ve never forgotten… never will. “No way!” Tony shouts his voice resembling exactly how I feel. He knows what I know and fuck am I glad that I’m not the only one that heard that voice. 

“Adrian…” I try to speak but it’s more of a whisper as I try to come to terms with what’s happening. “Yes, Nick. It’s me.” He steps out of the corner and the shadow that was covering him and I have to take a step back and hold on to the ladder before my legs give out and Tony quickly follows my movements.
