Faces scowled.

No one said anything.

Cobra yanked Xerxes’s chain and led us forward through the writhing masses.

Climbing up the network of stairs, I bit down on the side of my mouth to distract myself from the sheer depravity.

Cocks pumped into holes.

Women and men were tied to the railings so they were completely exposed. Women with strap-ons, men with dicks, people with wild-looking toys casually walked up to the constrained bodies and entered their orifices.

Touched them like they knew them.

As we walked up the maze of narrow paths, hands roamed.

Grabbing at us, like they had the right to touch.

Jax’s hand joined Ascher’s on my lower back as they led me forward. Cobra and Xerxes walked in front of me, never more than a few inches away.

The four men surrounded me in a blockade.

A beta man grabbed Ascher’s horn. Tattooed fingers moved impossibly fast, and Ascher turned the man’s wrist until it snapped.

We walked forward.

A beta woman tugged on Jax’s gold-twined braids. He whipped his head around and roared at her. She stumbled back in fear.

Noses lifted, lips were licked, and mouths dropped as Xerxes walked past.

Men and women trailed after him, running their fingers across his olive skin, then bringing their fingers to their mouths.

I growled.

Xerxes kept his head down and did nothing as his leash tugged him forward.

“Mine,” Cobra sneered at the people touching Xerxes.

He stopped to grab the omega’s face and dragged his tongue slowly across his cheeks, like he’d done to me in the mansion.

Staking his ownership.

Xerxes arched his eyebrow at Cobra and smirked, but quickly schooled his expression.

We plowed forward.

Two men wearing nothing but leather thongs stood in the middle of the stairway and blocked our path.

Ascher and Jax pressed against me tighter, and Xerxes and Cobra bent their knees as they prepared to fight.

“Sadie, is that you?” the one man yelled with a big smile, and I recognized the green scales across his face.

It was the alpha from the ring that had introduced himself. Beside him stood the blond man that had talked to me after our fight.

We needed any advantage we could take.

I shook my head slightly and shoved past Cobra and Xerxes, ignoring the hiss behind me as I walked toward the two men.

The white feathers and diamonds of my sheer dress glowed underneath the flashing lights, contrasting wildly with the leather all around.
