Lyra’s POVThe place reeked of sweat and despair, thick with the crushed spirits of Omegas who had been ground down by their own lives. It was nothing like the room and the rest of the wings I’ve been to in the packhouse.

I followed her, trying to look steadier than I felt, my cheek still carrying the pain of Eileen's slap.The laundry hall was large and almost stifling. Women worked in pairs and threes, their sleeves rolled to their elbows. A few glanced at me. Most did not.Matilda stopped near the far end of the hall and turned to face me.“You will be joining the omegas on laundry duty today," she said..I looked at the stacked clothes waiting to be sorted.
