The guards knocking walked inside looking worried. The boss stared at them confused" What is going on? You are about to spoil my day "
" We brought news"
" say it already. I have things to do don't you get it " he said to them pissed
" my brother who stays at the red moon pack called to leave a message, " the second guard said.
The brothel boss stepped forward. He knew this was important. The Red Moon pack is always trying to find a way to put him in prison. He was glad to have spies over there who gave him a heads-up before anything could happen "Tell me what he found ?"
" the alpha is set to raid this place and he is on his way here. He said we need to clear this place cos he meant business. He received a tip that an illegal business is taking place here " he said and the boss hit his fist to the wall.
Those fists are going to bruise. The beast in him arose "That alpha needs to die. I need to kill him. He can't ruin my business. I won't let him do that "
" what should we do alpha? We need to hurry up or he will catch up red-handed " the first guard asked worriedly
" same thing we always do too. Clear the warehouse and take the girls to the secret room" he ordered and they nodded and left. He hit his hand on the wall repeatedly.
Elsa gasped at how bruised his hand was and then he realized that she was still there "Get dressed " he said to her and she did as she was told.
A few minutes later, he told her to follow him and she did as she was told. She didn't want to get beaten or even worse get killed. It seemed as though the red moon pack alpha meant business, she thought to herself. Seeing how he was all worked up. She knew he feared the alpha.
This made her wonder who this alpha was and what he looked like. She was grateful he surprisingly help her not to get raped. She would have been raped by now but all thanks to the news he received. It kind of saved her. She was glad it happened.
They came to an abrupt stop and he said to her "Get inside and follow the girls . If you try anything stupid, trust me I'm going to kill you right this minute " he warned her and she nodded her head.
She went into the open door. She was sure this was where the secret room was. She heard the voices of ladies. She traced the voices and saw them entering a hole dug inside a room. She gasped but remembered what he said to her. She didn't want to be killed so she went with the crowd. There are a lot of them.
A lot of ladies. Some are even weak to walk while some are naked. They must have been having sex when the news broke she guessed. She felt sorry for them. It hurts her that women still get sexualized terribly. This is the worst of it all. How will they be so happy treating women this way?
It hurts her badly that some ladies like this life. They love this way of life.
" get inside " a guard yelled at her before she came off her thought
" huh!" She went forward and was helped into the hole. There was no step so she jumped just as everyone else was jumping inside. She groaned when she landed on the floor. A pain shoots down her side from the impact of the fall. She had to drag herself to one side so they wouldn't fall on her. She found a small space and went to rest her back on the wall.
After every lady was inside the secret room. The guards locked the entrance and she could hear them locking the door after that she didn't hear anything else. She exhaled and her eyes roam the room only to see that they were all staring at her.
" you are new here ?" One of them asked and she nodded
" Yeah "
"Lucky you, " the lady said to her and Elsa noticed the lady was covered in bruises. She wanted to know what happened but didn't want to sound too forward. She needs something to work with. She needs to know something about this person who kept them hostage. So she dragged herself to the lady who spoke to her.
Elsa tapped her shoulder and the lady raised her head "What?"
"Can I ask you something ?" Elsa asked and the lady scoffed "Like I have a choice "
Elsa found that as a yes so she asked "How did you get that scar on your face ?"
"That beast did that to me. I didn't want to sleep with him. He had to hit me and raped me " she said with so much disgust " he made me turn into a whore . I can never be accepted by my mate ever again . " she said and broke down
Elsa didn't know what to do so she pulled her in for a hug and they stayed in that position for some minutes before the lady pushed pack.
" I didn't mean to sound weak but I've had enough. We are all brought here against our will. It hurts that no one is ready to help us. This is our end. We need to start considering this place as home if we want to survive " she said and wiped her tears
Elsa hated that she said "We'll get out of here "
" you think it's that easy, " someone said from the crowd. Elsa turned and saw the lady sitting at the far end "You think it's easy to leave this place? We've all tried but were brought back here. As far as money has been paid over your head, you have no place to run to. We are their property and they own us "
" I won't let them continue this stupid Act. We need a plan. We need to escape this place one way or the other " Elsa tried talking them into it but they all didn't want to hear it. Their mind was already made up. They've had enough of the suffering and lost all hope.
"We can't risk our lives anymore. We'd rather stay here and be their slave than get killed at the end. Even if we leave this place, no one would want us. No one will want to date us either if they know our past so why do we have to leave? It's a win-win "
The lady with the bruise tapped her on the shoulder. Elsa stared at her "You've given up too ?"
The lady surprised her by shaking her head "Even though my mate won't take me back, I still have a life to live. I can't spend the rest of my life staying here. I need to escape this place one way or the other and I'm in if you have a plan "
A grin forms on Elsa's face. She was glad someone was ready to escape even if the rest didn't want to.
" I have an idea, " Elsa said with a grin

ASHER
He got out of the car and made his way to the door knocking harshly on it. His two guards were behind him. He knocked again and this time around the door got opened.
A brothel guard appeared before him and said "How can we help you ?"
" I need to see your boss. I received news of an illegal business " Asher told the man.
The brothel guard opened the door wide enough for him to get in. Asher turned to his guards and said "Wait for me outside. Keep an eye on things here. I don't trust these people "
The guards obeyed and stayed outside while Asher walked inside alone. He was strong and could easily take down all the guards in the brothel but he didn't come to fight today. He came to investigate the matter. He is so sure that money Laundry is being done here and he needs to know how they get their money illegally.
He was escorted to what was supposed to be the boss's office. Asher waited for the guard to knock on the door. He was told to go inside after a while.
____
The brothel boss saw him and a wide smile crossed his face. Asher knows he must have been hinted before time about him coming. He knew he had a spy in his pack but that doesn't mean he lost the fight yet cos it's still part of the plan.
The spy has been apprehended. The plan was to make them put the girls in one place and then come in to pretend an investigation. Then after the fake investigation, they will be given just a few hours to bring out the ladies and then that is when they will strike. They will be caught red-handed.
Asher has his men already in the building. He didn't come with just two guards. This is just a way to distract the brothel guards. The other guards came in a different car and parked far away. They are going to be entering from the back door.
Asher walked inside the office and the brothel boss offered him a seat which he sat in. He crossed his legs trying to buy time for his guard who might have entered already from the back door.
"It's such an honor to have you here alpha. You didn't have to stress yourself " the brothel boss said and Asher smirked " I need to do my job as an alpha. "
Asher's expression changed instantly. He didn't come here to wine and dine with this ass hole. He came here meaning business and he shall achieve his aim of coming here.
" heard you engage in some money laundry and aside from that you take ladies forcefully into your den, " he said harshly and the brothel boss could feel the anger radiating the alpha.
He stuttered " I..I don't know what you are talking about. The ladies came here on their own to work and we pay them for their job "
Asher hissed " I'm not stupid to believe you. There are some of the ladies that were forcefully taken away from their families "
" I don't know what you are talking about alpha. You don't have the right to question me wrongly. This is against the rules. If you have any proof then show it to me and stop trying to make me feel like a liar "
Asher raised a brow "You want proof ?"
" yeah I want proof then I'll know if truly I did what I'm being accused of, " the brothel boss said slyly
Asher didn't argue with him. He got up and said " I'll be back with the proof you want. Don't be surprised it might come surprisingly "
