I hear her heart stop as she turns to me, panic and fear glimmering in her eyes. “Akuji.”
I try to calm myself so I can reassure her. I fight the haze, panting from the agony tearing through my body from being this close to her and not being able to have her in my arms. “It’s okay, little mate,” I manage to growl out, my fangs bared as my tail tries to snap out of its chains.
She eyes me, probably wondering if he’s bluffing before she sags, not willing to risk it.
“Good girl,” he coos at her, and she spins on him with a snarl.
“Don’t fucking patronise me, you sick bastard! What are you doing to him? To them?” she demands, the fierce nature of her voice making my heart stutter with pride.
She will make an excellent leader to our people, but I always knew that.
“What needs to be done—the next step in our research, of course,” he tells her with a smile. “We will replicate the phenomenon that created them, but naturally.”
“What does that mean?” she snaps.
“It means, foolish little girl, that you were nothing but a necessity, an easement. Do you think we could not get into the lab if we really needed to? No, we sent you and Talia for a reason, and that reason is your womb. We hoped they wouldn’t kill you and would breed you instead.”
“Breed us?” she whispers, looking at me in horror.
“To create the next generation, of course. All of our answers lie in their blood, in their DNA, but we need it to be pure and natural. We need their children.”
“No!” I roar.
He ignores me and continues to watch Aria. “That pesky little reporter came in undercover and found out about it, amongst other things. She’s over the wall now, hopefully putting herself to use on her back and creating more hybrids, more experiments.”
“Never.” She shakes her head, staggering back in horror.
They are sick.
“Talia is your employee—”
“And she signed away all her rights when she started working here, including the use of her reproductive organs. She was a fool to think we needed her for more than that. I will give it to her, she’s smarter than I gave her credit for, but none of it matters now that we have you. We have been trying to breed the males we have taken for years, but they never do. I’m now realising it’s because they are a bonded, mated pair, like you. Any attributes they get from the animals we spliced their DNA with is interesting but not useful to us…unless we have both parties, and now we do.”
“What are you saying?” she questions.
“I’m saying, Aria, that it’s time for you to help humankind. You have finally found your purpose. You will breed with that monster and create children, and only when we don’t need you anymore will you be free in death.”
“What?” she whispers raggedly, and he snarls, stepping closer.
“You will fuck him and every other single person I tell you to and create what I need.” His face transforms, showing the true monster.
“I will never—”
The slap makes me roar, the table creaking under the force of my struggle, but she turns back to look at him.
“You will, or I’ll kill him right here. I’ll kill them all. I do not need you. I can get more—”
“No you can’t.” She smirks. “Otherwise, you wouldn’t be so desperate to send human women beyond the wall in hopes for children. You are crazed with desperation. You need us, you won’t kill us.”
“Do not push your luck,” he warns, his finger moving towards the button. “Now let’s get you both settled, shall we?” He turns and walks away, leaving us here.
“Escort her to a lab. I want her bloodwork. I also want X-rays and work ups on any genetic conditions she may have, and then toss her inside a cell with him. Pump it with pheromones if they don’t do what I want.”
“And the other one?” a guard asks. “The other human girl?”
He looks back at Aria. “Throw her in with the other monster they came with. If he kills her, so be it. If not…” He shrugs. “Oh, and grab me another specimen. Let’s try to replicate the mating process. A young female should do it. She can go in with one of the others.” With that, he leaves.
Aria turns to me in horror before they grab her. “I’ll be back,” she promises. “Be brave, my mate, be strong. Don’t give them any reason to hurt you.”
