Cedric
"My name is Detective Mayers". The man points at himself and I narrow my eyes, those assholes can't be trusted, and a detective is a major name that belongs to the government, I look back at Zevrus who's watching carefully as two scientists enter the room with a stretcher and pick up Rain's body slowly and carefully, I notice how she had lost weight, she was already pretty lean when I met her, now she's almost skinny. One of the scientists wraps her wounded leg with a bandage and then they both stand up holding the stretcher, I raise my hand "wait!" They still and the guards instantly raise their weapons, I look at the Detective as I take off the shirt that I'm wearing, then I place it over Rain, then I step back and nod at the two scientists to go.
After Rain is taken out of the room, the Detective looks at Zevrus and me, "now, you, alpha, need to be taken to the lab in order to get ready for the blood transition. Meanwhile" he jerks his chin towards Zevrus "your brother will be taken back to the cell until the experiment is done". I take a step forward and cross my arms "what will happen after the transition?", the detective tilts his head to the side "what do you mean?", I growl at him "don't play dumb with me Detective, you and I both know what I mean", he grins devilishly "well, I'd hate to let you guys go, as I said, I like you too much" he sighs "but, we'll keep you here for at least another week in order to do an observation" he opens his arms "after all, this is why you are here", the door opens again and two of the guards step towards Zevrus with cuffs, I look at him and speak through our mind link "I hope I don't regret this brother" he looks back at me and nods as he extends his arms forward for the guards to cuff and take him "I hope I don't either".
At this point, the Detective and I are left alone with two guards in the room, he looks at me and smiles "and last but not least, your turn, alpha", I clench my fists at my sides and nod at him, he nods back and gestures to the guards to step towards me, I growl "I know the way to the lab, there's no need to cuff me, I'm doing this willingly", the Detective shrugs "I know, but this is for safety precautions, can't go against the code" I scuff as I extend my arms "of course not, you don't seem to have the balls any way" he nods and looks down with a grin "well, my balls will never be as big as yours". I keep my smirk on proudly as I'm led past him towards the lab.
As I'm escorted by the guards to the lab, I can't help but notice the horrific scenes around me, large glass jar-like containers, containing what looks like decomposed versions of animal and human abominations, my blood starts to boil as I come across one container that has a female werewolf specimen, she's pregnant and her body is cut in half, one part is showing a front side of her, and the second one shows her on the side, and I start to wonder about the different fucked up experiments she'd gone through before dying and becoming some sick vision of a fucked up government. The detective hums behind me "now you know why I insisted on cuffing you anyway", I look down at my hands and notice my claws are extended.
As we finally reach the lab, a huge door opens, revealing some more containers, people dressed in white and face masks running around carrying different tools while there's an iron staircase that leads to a higher balcony, there stand more scientists holding pens and papers, scribbling away notes and bullshit that they are fed. Finally, my eyes land on Rain who's laid on a table, tubes are inserted into her arms, different white stickers cover her forehead, chest, and abdomen, and next to her there's another table, the Detective walks to my side "you're right, that's where you need to lay down". I look him in the eyes "I swear, if anything happens to Rain, if I even smell the slightest betrayal, I'll bite your head off of your body". The detective smirks and nods "you have nothing to fear alpha". I narrow my eyes at him and keep my eyes locked on him as I keep walking towards the table, finally, the guards remove the cuffs and I lay down, the metal table is freezing, even with my high body heat I could feel it, I turn my head to look at Rain and wonder if she can feel how cold it is.
Scientists approach me, checking my eyes, mouth, and body. They write down notes and talk among themselves. I try to stay calm as much as possible, inside, my wolf is stalking and going back and forth, he keeps telling me he has a bad feeling about this shit, and so do I, we both don't trust them, but we both want our mate to be safe and strong enough for Zevrus' plan- no matter how shitty and dangerous it is. I reach out and grab Rain's hand, it's ice-cold, my poor mate went through hell to get to me, or was it for Zevrus? I close my eyes, it doesn't matter, she put herself in the line of danger for us, she may not be able to save us, and I bet she knew it, but she did it anyway- the first thing that I'm doing, if we get out alive, is kick Cyprus' furry ass, along with that mutt Darious.
"The transition is starting soon", my eyes fly open as I feel tubes pierce through my arms, and stickers over my forehead, chest, and abdomen. a guy approaches me, holding a camera in his hand as he takes pictures and records what's happening, I growl and look away, this is disgusting, humiliating, and nerve-wracking. A beeping machine sound comes up from above me, then the tubes start to fill with my blood, running fast through Rain's tubes into her arms. I hear the scientists around me saying that Rain's heartbeat is steady and her vital signs are improving. I relax a bit, but then I hear Zevrus' voice in my head "brother, as soon as the transition is done, take Rain and get out of there", I frown "what's the plan?", a beat passes by, and then his voice comes up again "above you, there are windows high up in the ceiling, don't let them notice", I slowly look up, and at the windows, I see werewolves, I count 15 werewolves, I squint my eyes as I recognize one of them, wearing a stupid grin from ear to ear, fucking Darious.
