Painful Past

With a shaky voice... "What... Asset-753? What are you hinting to?" He wrapped his arms around her body and pressed his face into her lap. "I was born and raised in a laboratory. Treated like a wild animal, injected, and fed with various experimental drugs. Abused physically, mentally, even assaulted by a female doctor..."

Patty, speechless lifted her hands. Now she understood all the hatred he harbored towards humankind, especially females. She didn't want to touch him, since she felt that might be very uncomfortable for him. She felt ashamed, like a fool blinded by the ignorance of the existence of hidden evil deeds. Pushing her idealistic views onto a victim. "Please, forgive me, for being so pushy and ignorant."

He pulled her down from the log into his lap and hugged her tiny body in his huge arms. "You don't need to. I know now, that not all humans are despicable or cruel. During these two days, I learned some more lessons about life, humans, and also how pleasant a loving touch can be."

Patty hugged him back out of remorse. He was a huge man, but at that same time, his gentle hug was like from a wounded little puppy. "Can you tell me more about your past? To make me understand, if you don't mind?" He pulled from the hug, took her both arms, and lay his face into the palms of her hands. "Actually, I feel a burden was lifted as soon as I told you. It will take some time to sunrise, so I can tell you."


They sat down across each other and he began... "I was purposely bred by the government for a super soldier program. We are the first generation. On one side they tried to control our minds, on the other side, they injected us with stuff to make us bigger and stronger, than the average werewolf.

I was one of the top promising assets they had, together with four others. We were kept all the time naked and separated in our cells. They tried to break our spirits. Beaten, humiliated, fed to sustain only our lives and muscles. They gave us all those nasty drugs, with strong side effects. Often I felt dizzy, nauseous, weak, my body, head, and stomach ached all the time.

One female doctor loved to use high voltage taser on us, if she thought we disobeyed her. When we lay tied up and half-conscious she would touch us inappropriately. The thing with the gene therapy was, that females were born barren and even when they tried to correct it, they couldn't. When a female werewolf was born, they just discarded it and later prevented from conceiving one.

In the end, they waited till we were 18 years old to crossbreed us with human females. Of course in an artificial insemination style. That was the idea of that female doctor. She wanted to personally "collect" the sperm. One by one she was taking my cell mates for her "procedure". She enjoyed to torture especially me. I was for her like the cherry on top, she left me to be the last. Let me watch them being dragged into the lab and then returning them back with a completely broken mind.

The day arrived, when it became my turn. I had to be at least a week off of the drugs, to "collect" mine. Ten adult human men had to strain me, to be able to drag me into the laboratory and tie me down to a slanted table. She rushed the men out of the room.

She dropped her coat, under which she was completely naked, and started to touch me over my whole body. I just felt sick to my stomach and kept my eyes closed. She was displeased and used the taser. She went down on me with her head, but it didn't work how she planned. With every minute she grew angrier and angrier.

She forced me to eat bunch of some blue pills. At first, I refused, but she tased me again and again until I finally broke and ate them all at once. She waited for few minutes. Writing down something and then, when it worked her crazy eyes were sparkling.

I felt just more disgusted and almost vomited, when she started to rub me down there, touching all over my body, massaging some parts, but nothing happened. She didn't get her samples. The doctor began to beat me with an iron pole all over. I was a bloody mess, when she regained some sense. I was barely conscious and then called the men to take me back to my cell.

They untied my almost lifeless body and somehow at that moment for a short period of time my power came back, I turned into a werewolf and killed all of the men inside the room. I wanted to kill her too, but she escaped into a separate space. I knew I couldn't get to her, so I opted to escape for good. I succeded, that was two years ago, and never turned back into a human, till recently, when I was wounded by those stupid silver bullets."


Patty was silent. It was too much to process it quickly. What he told her just now, she never heard of anything so horrendous. She never would guessed such a terrible upbringing of his. She was hesitant to come closer. She didn't want to upset him right now, since he dow into his memories to re-live them again.

She could tell, he was shaking slightly the whole time. It was trauma, which won't get just away with time. He chose to come over to her and again sat down by her legs, wrapping his arms around her body and putting his head into her lap.

"Now you know, why I don't have a name." She accepted his little affection and caressed his head. "Do you want a name?" He looked at her with his red eyes with amazement and wonder and a little nod appeared. "Hmmm, what kind of a name would suit you? Let me think a little."

In her head, she repeated Asset 753...753... It clicked. "I know now. I have the perfect name for you." He silently waited for the reveal. "Romulus,... your name will be Romulus, after the king of Rome." He smiled. "After a king? Me?... I like it! Thank you!"
