Chapter 40:

Imprisoned

Beasted


Romulus sighed heavily. "Why? Why did you stop me? At least once... grant me that wish." In the current hug, slowly his fingers wrapped around her arms tighter and squeezed her whole body against his, sulking into her shoulder.

"You already know the answer." Patty pushed a little from him and put her forehead back against his, looking into his sad eyes full of longing. She fell for Zeev completely but Romulus became also an important part of her life. And it bothered her seeing him so hurt.

He was this outgrown puppy with the need of love which she couldn't give him. She touched his cheeks with her tiny hands and gave him one kiss on each to at least satisfy his desires just enough. If he were in his werewolf form right now, he would wag his tail happily.

Meanwhile...

Zeev woke up in a small unfamiliar space, with a collar around his neck and chained to the wall. That whole building was emanating a sterile hospital smell. He stood up leaning on it and wobblily walked over and touched the bars. Instantly, he retracted his hands. They were made out of silver.

This wasn't an ordinary cell. It was made to contain werewolves. Zeev peeked through it to see the surroundings better. A silent voice disrupted him from his activity. "You shouldn't be too close to it or they will shoot." Zeev began to whisper as well. "What do you mean? Where am I?"

Silence... "Hey?!" A sigh came from the cell next to Zeev. "Look up high to the right. That's the control tower of this facility. There are numerous cameras. They don't like it, when we come too close to the bars. If you misbehave they will pump you with silver bullets, so be careful."

Zeev glanced in that direction. He could see them and with a light sniff, he remembered the scent of those guards. "How can we get out of here?" Again silence. "I have to get back to my village and my mate..." Zeev got cut off. "Nonsense! Nobody will ever get out of here!"

Zeev scoffed. "I know at least one, who managed to do that..." A rustling of the chain in the neighboring cell was coming closer. "You met Asset-753?" Zeev was at first confused. "Asset-753? Oh... you mean Romulus!" That stranger repeated the name. "Ro-mu-lus..."

Zeev sat down and leaned against the wall of his unknown new friend. "My name is Zeev, by the way... and yours?" The stranger ironically chuckled. "Werewolves here don't have names. I am just Asset-751." Zeev tried to motivate him. "If you will help me escape, you will earn a name for yourself."

The voice began to retreat further from Zeev. "That's impossible. After Asset-753, they tightened up the security. We will never get out of here... at least not alive." Zeev's mind got flooded with doubts. He had to escape from this damn place and reunite with his beloved Patty.

Finally, when he sealed his fate with her, they got separated. Frustrated, Zeev drowned his face in his palms. His mind was spinning, trying to figure out how to free himself. The weakness and fear in the voice of the stranger assured him that this was hell on earth. He didn't want to stay here any longer.

A loud bell rang in that whole prison part. The other inmates knew, what it meant, dreading and praying not to be taken out. Heavily armed prison guards came up to Zeev's cell. He stood up and just watched them storm his cell surrounding him and the whole time pointing guns at him.

He was pushed out of it and led to a laboratory. He saw that table with cuffs, that Romulus described. So, this was the place, where he was tortured all those years. Zeev was knocked out from behind by one of the guards and woke up restrained, tied to that same table, and with a muzzle on his face.

He was horrified and dread began to rise in his mind. His blood was running cold and started to look around. That crazy doctor lady walked out of the next room with a weird grin. She strolled over with some scissors and one by one snipped away the buttons on his shirt, from the neck down to his pants. She exposed his natural body build with a smug smile.

Of course, she had one thing on her mind... he was a handsome pure-blooded werewolf. She should experiment with him too. Zeev swallowed that huge fright that built up in his throat. With her index finger, she began to stroke over his whole body, eagerly licking her lips. It made him highly uncomfortable.

Zeev understood, where Romulus got his trauma. He had to endure this...

"So, tell me... Would you like to join our breeding program?"
She leaned over his head with those crazy eyes. "NEVER!" She smiled without forming wrinkles around her eyes. So insincere! "Never mind, I will use you anyway... your body." Her unruly hands began to wander everywhere. It made Zeev mad but he couldn't do anything against it. He felt so frustrated and powerless.

Buzz of the main door interrupted her. Natalia walked inside with a smug smile and the crazy doctor let her some space to express herself. "Finally, you are MINE!" That traitor! Zeev began to shake on the table out of anger. If he could he would tear those cuffs off and kill her on the spot for what she did.

Natalia didn't pay attention to it and just nonchalantly continued. "Since that human bitch is dead, you can become my mate and we will live happily... forever and ever." Her nose suddenly picked up something. "NO! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!!" She jumped closer to him and began to sniff all around. "You did...? You mated what that WENCH?!"

A hysterical cry and smashing with everything around began. Once a werewolf mates, he will be bound to that one mate forever, even after death. For Natalia, it meant she lost her chance. The crazy doctor just rolled her eyes over Natalia's antics and tased her unconscious.

"Now, we are lonely again. And I don't care about your mate deals. I will get what I WANT!" She grinned at Zeev menacingly and started to undress. Zeev's stomach dropped.
