The Runaway Breeder novel Chapter 9

​​I turn the tap to the sink off as I clean my breakfast dishes, Alex leaving the cottage quietly with a sad smile in my direction to do his patrol around the perimeter. No one else is allowed to be in the cottage after ten in the morning until the Alpha and the Doctor arrive and conduct their business. The Alpha will stay all night to do with me as he pleases and prepare me for my new role. Anxiety and nerves take over as I wring the dish towel trying to find something to do other than smoothing out the non-existent wrinkles in my outfit.

I am dressed in a simple white lacy dress with matching white bra and thong, something one of the guards told me to wear considering I am still pure – still a virgin. It scares me to think that today Alpha Sam will take something I wanted to save for my mate away without a care in the world and without any consideration for my wellbeing, nothing at all like the Sam I grew up with. Another hour passes and I find some things to clean in the spotless cottage, trying to distract myself from the inevitable that is soon to come. I thought that the Alpha had forgotten about today and his job in taking away my virginity, but my hopes are soon crushed when the door opens and he and the doctor waltz in.

“Good morning Miss Laina. Hope you are doing well.” Doctor Freelan greets, his eyes roaming my body. I suppress a shudder and smile as sweetly as I can, bowing my head in submission. As a Breeder I have to be good and obey these two males or risk being punished each time I disobey them on their visits. I've seen a Breeder be punished once about two years ago. Apparently she tried running away from her role only to be caught. The Warriors in charge of guarding her took a silver whip - silver being our Kryptonite - while another set of Warriors tied her hands to a pole. This escape happened two days after being designated her new role and as the guards took turn raising the whip and lowering the ends onto her back I watch on in horror as the silver tips shred the fair and delicate skin on her back and blood dripped down her body to pool onto the dirt floor below her. No one knew what happened to this Breeder but the memory of her screams and pleads for mercy reminded me that Breeders are nothing but slaves that day. Now - as  a Breeder myself - I will have to bide my time if I want to survive with the possibility of escape.

“Good morning Doctor, Alpha.” I greet politely, welcoming the two into the living room as if the thought of escape never crosses my mind. The Doctor wastes no time after the initial greetings and the morning passes quickly as I am tested, weighed, measured  along with blood samples and urine samples being taken from me for the Doctors in the labs at the Pack Hospital to do tests on. Doctor Freelan leaves with his bag full of notes on my health and the vials to be tested, leaving Alpha Sam and myself alone in the cottage. Nerves once again take over me and I excuse myself to hide away in the kitchen to cook; it would be unwise to deal with a hungry Alpha and this task gave me something to keep my nerves at bay. After a quick lunch with Alpha Sam, Doctor Freelan returns with a beaming smile as he joins the Alpha and I at the dining room table.

“You’re fit and strong. Your pups will be amazing.” He announces and I groan in my head while my outer appearance displays a grateful expression. Never show weakness to those you consider your enemy.

“Thank you so much.” I reply faking a relieved breath, getting ready to kick the Doctor out of my cottage. It will be quicker to get the deed over and done with and allow the Alpha to take my virginity away now without any fight.

“I am not done yet.” Doctor Freelan continues making it hard for me to hold in the sigh of irritation that builds with each moment the Doctor stays in this cottage. I jump when Alpha Sam clears his throat forcing me to turn my body in his direction to give the wolf my full attention.

“As you know, since becoming Alpha six years ago I haven’t found my mate and I need an heir by this time next year or my brother and his mate take over as Alpha and Luna.” I nod with confusion not understanding where this conversation is going.

“The pack Elders and I have decided that the first pup you will bear will be my own. If you can produce two pups for me then your position as a Breeder will be nullified and you can become a female Warrior or Acolyte, the choice is yours.” This offer feels too good to be true but at what cost? Would his mate even accept his pups from a Breeder? A moment of silence settles between all of us as I take a moment to think. I could weigh the pros and cons of this offer all day if I wanted but I had a feeling they will want me to answer now. Finally resigning to my fate I look at the Alpha and give him a small smile.

“Do I even have a choice?” I ask in a small voice, already knowing his answer.

“No.” Both men say in unison and I sigh, turning to look at the Doctor.

“So what role do you play?” I ask, watching a sadistic grin spread across his wrinkle filled face.

“This one!” He exclaims happily opening his bag and produces a needle with the point gleaming evilly in the light. A liquid sloshes around the glass tube, the amber colour sending a sense of foreboding through me. I had a feeling I will not like what he is about to do.

Before I can comprehend what is happening, the Alpha has his hands on my arms holding me in place as the Doctor moves quickly, shoving the point of the needle into my left arm with accuracy that I feel he has done this hundreds of times already. A tingling sensation courses through my body as the Doctor slowly removes the needle once making sure every last fluid inside is injected into me. I want to feel fear or the urge to fight my way out of their grasps but none comes. Only shock fills me with what these men have done.
