Chapter 111 Pretty Doll
SERAPHINA
The elevator opened with a hiss, and I barely had a second to breathe before the man’s grip tightened on my wrist again.
His fingers dug in like iron. No escape.
<b>“</b><b>Let’s </b>go, pretty boy,” he said with a twisted grin, yanking me out into darkness <b>that </b>stank of filth, wine, <b>and </b>rotting desire.
The underground brothel.
A hundred times more terrifying <b>than </b>the Sinspire floor above.
“Juan! wolves greeted him <b>with </b><b>toothy </b>grins, snarling and drunk on pleasure.
So that’s his name.
I tried to keep my expression nk, to control my disgust, but every step deeper into that ce scraped my nerves raw. My boots echoed across velvet–draped halls lined with ss cages, blood–red curtains, and chained bodies.
My heart twisted in my chest.
Male and female prostitutes, disyed like meat.
Some were locked <b>behind </b>ss, trembling like broken leaves. Others were tied to poles, arms bound above their heads. Some <b>were </b>free lounging on silk couches, drunk or drugged, whispering sweet filth to passing wolves,
Even worse, so <b>much </b>worse, were the ones who weren’t pretending.
<b>In </b><b>a </b>hall lined with dark lounges and low <b>light</b><b>, </b>I saw them.
Bodies writhing. Moaning. Screaming.
Sex, in the open. Without shame. Without choice.
A gasp caught in my throat. I had never seen something so–so vile, so animalistic, so terrifying in my entire life.
<b>juan </b>turned to <b>look </b>at me.
I tried to <b>look </b><b>away</b>, to force calm into my body but my disguise was <b>cracking</b><b>. </b>
And he saw it.
“<b>Ah</b>,” he chuckled. “You’re scared, aren’t you<b>?</b>”
He leaned closer, his breath sticky on my cheek. “You thought you were <b>special</b>? That <b>you’d </b>be <b>spared</b>? You’re just like the rest of them now. Just another whore.”
I <b>didn’t </b>flinch, but I couldn’t speak either. My tongue felt like stone. The word left a deep impression in my <b>heart</b>.
“You’re part of this now. <b>What </b>you see here,” he gestured grandly, “is only the beginning. You haven’t <b>seen </b>anything yet.”
My fists secretly clenched. His grin turned predatory <b>as </b>he pulled me deeper into the belly of the <b>underground</b>.
We turned left, then right, down spiraling hallways <b>that </b>made no sense. I tried to memorize the way, every <b>turn</b>, every <b>symbol </b>carved into the walls, every flickeringmp and caged shadow.

“Register this one.” he snapped. “Assign him a room immediately and book <b>him</b><b>.</b>”
Just like that, with the same <b>casual </b>violence, he threw me onto the floor.
Finished
My <b>knees </b>hit the stone, and I <bnded </b>among a group of other captives, she–wolves and dollboys, every one of them young, terrified, trembling. Probably all new here.
Their beauty made my skin crawl. Juan only collected the pretty ones. Probably why I was also dragged here.
I stayed quiet. Watchful as <b>they </b>left the room.
While Juan spoke to his guards outside the door, I turned my head to check every <b>she</b>–wolves face. Grace <b>was </b>not one of them. Then I turned toward the girl beside me. “Do you know a she–wolf named Grace?” I whispered.
She flinched. Her lips trembled but no words came.
I turned to another. “Please, have you seen a beautiful Alpha blood <b>she</b>–wolf with gray <b>eyes</b>, thin figure, and long hair?”
But she looked at the floor, shaking her head like it would get her killed.
I tried <b>again</b>. A third <b>and </b>a fourth time. “She is wearing a red dress and high heels. Have you <b>seen </b>her?”
Some remained mute and some shook their heads.
Until finally a voice from the corner reached my ears. “I saw her, a <b>girl </b>whispered.
I instantly turned to her. She was thin. Young. Her lip bled, and her corbone <b>was </b>bruised.
“Where? Tell <b>me</b>,” I said urgently. “Where did you see het?”
She nced at the door, then leaned closer. “Two rogues brought her in. She was unconscious. Pretty. Rich clothes. Looked like you described. They didn’t keep her with us.”
My hear took a sudden turn. That woman <b>was </b>definitely Grace!
“Where did they take <b>her</b>?” I pressed.
“I don’t <b>know</b>,” she shook her head, “Though she was taken to this underground brothel. I just don’t know where.”
My fists clenched. So Grace was really here. I might be close to her. I just have to find her.
I <b>barely </b>had time to <b>ask </b>anymore before the door mmed open again and <b>chaos </b>erupted.
<b>juan’s </b>men stormed in like a <b>pack </b>of hounds. Shouting <b>and </b>gabbing everyone. The girls screamed. The dollboys trembled.
One of them grabbed my arm–<b>hard</b>.
“Let go!” i snapped, but I couldn’t blow my cover.
“Shut your mouth, whore. Or I <b>will </b>beat you to death!” He yanked me out of the room, dragging me <b>down </b>another hallway with crimson lights pulsing like a <b>heartbeat</b>.
“Where are you taking me?” I demanded.
He didn’t answer. I desperately kept studying <b>my </b>surroundings, realizing that this ce was confusing <b>like </b>a maze
He just showed <b>open </b>a door and flung <b>me </b>inside.
LAM
The door locked behind me
The tour was suffocating hit in deep red light hike blood sineared over every surface. <b>The </b>walls were velvet. The air was heavy think with Just and sweat

I pounded my fists on the door.
“Let me out!” I hissed. “LET
Of course, they didn’t answer.
Only the sound of a woman screaming in the next room did.
Screaming in pain. In fear
My wolf froze in shock while terror settled in my heart. Those women they were forced into violence and sex. For time in my life. I experienced fear.
Not only for myself. But for <b>Grace </b><b>as </b>well.
If <b>she </b><b>had </b>been brought here unconscious_
If she had been locked away somewhere behind these walls…
What had they done to her?

the first
I took a few steps back, <b>and </b>stood in the middle of the room, feeling those women’s horror until the door of the room cracked open.
I lifted my gaze to find a tall man <b>giving </b>off a dominating Alpha aura stepped in. Leering. Smiling. His clothes undone. His teeth sharp.
He looked at me like he already owned me.
“Finally,” he murmured. “They said they gave me a new one. Didn’t think they’d send me this pretty doll.”
