Shane
While Wiphas and I are eating our food. I start to explain everything I remember from my 21. Birthday to waking up again in my room after the revelation of my father, for the reason of taking me with him. To the attack of them and kidnapping me.
"So let me get this straight," Wiphas starts,
"Your father gifts you to the King of Xertia. Because you are gay?"
"Yes, and he saw this as an opportunity to gain more wealth and power. So he got me modified so I could better serve the king as a pet."
"As a sex slave. The king only wants young and fertile omegas, but not to impregnate them. He likes them mindless with heat. Fighting each other to be mounted by him. It's sick."
"Mindless with heat?"
"Yes, mindless. Omegas usually go through heat cycles twice a year. But there are some illegal drugs, you can inject them. They will start a heat cycle within 24 hours. This chemical-based heat is hugely stressful for the omega. Because it isn't a natural cycle, no eggs get ripe to be fertilized. The omega in question stays in heat until they pass out from exhaust and dehydration. Depending on the omega, this forced heat takes two days up to a week. A typical heat stops as soon as the omega in question is impregnated. The only way to stop them is with heat suppressors. But the king outlawed them. If omegas are forced to go into heat repeatedly, they will die sooner or later of malnourishment if they aren't getting the proper care. But even if they don't die because of this, the body will sooner or later shut down. It is a terrible fate. The king of Xertia use those drugs, but because of his big harem of omegas, they survive longer than one omega would. But he still needs to replace one of them at least each year."
Feeling my color drain from my face, I ask him,
"Are those drugs only administered by injections?"
"No, there are pills an omega could take. Some other newer method is adjusting the hormone glands of the omega. Those heats resemble more natural ones. The omega in questions has heats once a month. They would stop when the omega is impregnated. Cause of this reason, omegas are forced to take pregnancy contraceptives. It's an injection twice a year. But those operations are expensive."
The food inside my mouth starts to tastes like ash,
"I remember the doctors telling Wesley my father's assistant something about adjusting my new hormone glands."
Wiphas face drain of all color, after I tell him this. He stands up and gets out his com-device,
"Doc, we will be coming to you again."
Grabbing my hand, he pulls me from my chair and hurriedly walks in the direction of the med-center.
"Wait, why the hurry? You said an omega would go into heat once a month. Don't I have a month?"
"Yes and no, the first heat is coming after 24 hours of meeting a potent alpha. Unfortunately for you, you encountered several."
I see him glance nervously at the clock.
"How much time is left? Can the heat suppressors stop it? Do you have some?"
"We met 23 hours and 48 minutes ago. I don't know if we still have heat suppressors left. We have four omega crewmen."
Reaching the med-center, I feel unease filling me.
"Doc, we need heat suppressors immediately," Wiphas says, coming right to the point.
"Captain, I gave the last to Shuu two days ago. I wanted to refill our stock once we are on Xerun."
"Shit," I say.
"What's going on?"
Doc Jikin is a dark grey-skinned man of average high, probably 6 feet, his orange slitted eyes draw together in confusion. He has black-blue shoulder-length hair and seven small horns. So he is a beta. But back to the most pressing issue.
"You missed some vital information while scanning him. They gave him an adjustment to his new hormone glands."
"Well, shit. I'm sorry, Shane. I should have looked closer. Please come with me to one of the medical beds. Captain, please go outside and tell all of them the med-center will be off-limits, till further notice. Luckily both injured men are betas. And won't be affected by his heat."
"You won't stay?"
"I can't little one. When you go into heat, it will take tremendous effort not to mount you. Alpha pheromones would take you into a frenzy. You would be begging every alpha on board to take you repeatedly even more than one at a time. We have no alpha pheromone blocker. Cause we normally don't need them," Wiphas explains gently and then he walks to the door,
"I will order a lockdown on the med-center. The air vents will be cut off from the rest of the ship. Use the emergency protocol. I will get all betas with medical training to help you, draw up a schedule, I will arrange for one of our portable food replication units to be brought here."
"Thank you, Captain."
Moments later, the light on the door turns red then to yellow.
"We are now in quarantine. Only authorize med personnel can go in."
Moments later, a bio-lock comes out of the walls. It looks like a small cabin.
"What happens now?" I ask, starting to feel a rising heat from within my body.
"Your heat is approaching. You just made it in time. Because I have no suppressors, I can offer to sedate you for the duration of the heat. An unfulfilled heat will start to get uncomfortable fast. Besides, you will lose your mind with the need to be filled. So your best option is a mild sedative. Making you sleep while I will watch your vitals and make sure your body stays hydrated and gets the nutrients it needs."
"Okay, I take the sedative."
I feel a sting on my right arm, and then blissful darkness greets me.
