I've been told my whole life that I'm only worth what I can give on stage.
Smile wider. Move slower. Make them believe the fantasy.So I do. Every night, under lights that burn hotter than the shame I swallow down with cheap champagne. And every night, I pretend I don't notice the Valla at the door, the one built like a wall, with dark eyes that track me like I'm something worth protecting instead of something to consume.
Nightmarish stories follow the Valla, Omegas either terrified to be their mate or excited by the opportunity of absolute submission.
But that Valla and his Alpha who fights at the underground club next door are the only two men who take care of me after someone slips something into my drink.
They don’t even leave when I run back to the pole.
Or the pills.
Or the version of myself that knows how to perform instead of feel.
When the Night of Scarlet rolls around, the infamous yearly gala, my one chance to find a mate, I realize I’ve already found a home.
If I’ll just stop running.
