The fuckers sedated him with a dart.

I crouch before him. “I won’t let them hurt you, I promise,” I tell him as he loses the fight and begins to growl in his sleep. They wait a few more minutes to be sure he’s out, and I grab the dart in the meantime, holding it tight in my fist before remembering my plan. Sighing, I blow out a breath. I can’t do it now, because I need Akuji to be awake, so instead, I stash it under his body and wait as patiently as I can.

I wonder what they are up to now.

My heart thunders, and my hands fist as I fight my urge to lash out and fight back. I need to lull them into a false sense of security, letting them believe I’ve given up or that I’m giving them what they want, that way when it’s time to escape, they will be lax and surprised. Four guards come in with their guns raised and pointed at Akuji.

“Boy, don’t you look like pussies.” I smirk. One narrows his eyes, but they wait before moving closer in formation. I note their uniforms and weaknesses as they smack Akuji with the gun, making me glare. “Easy, don’t wake the beast.”

“He’s down. Take her,” one orders.

“Oh great, you’re here for me. Are we having a nice tea party or something—Not so rough! If it’s not during sex, it just isn’t worth it,” I taunt as they grab me and start to drag me away. I mock them the entire time, unable to stop since every one of my instincts is screaming at me to fight them. It’s almost impossible to battle my own urges, but I try for him.

For them.

“So is this your day job? Wrangling human females to be bred? I’ve got to tell you, you probably don’t get paid enough, especially since you’re dressed like Malibu Barbie soldier toys.” They ignore me. “Do you watch the cameras and get your rocks off? Is that it? Can’t get it up any other way? Hey, no judgement here, whatever gets you going. We don’t shame—” The slap makes my head spin.

“Shut up,” he spits at me.

Licking my torn lip, I smirk. “I’ve never been good with that, to be honest, or commands. It’s cute that you think you scare me, tough little human, since I’ve been going over that wall since I was a kid and lived with monsters. You? You’re nothing but little boys playing pretend. You wouldn’t know true strength a day in your life. You are just a faceless mob following orders and trying to play god. Hit me again, I dare you.” I arch my eyebrow as we still, staring at each other.

“Commander,” one whispers.

“Oh, Commander,” I mock. “What did you do to become a commander? Suck a scientist’s cock?” I watch his nostrils flare in anger and his eyes fill with hate. “I saw your fear, boy. You’re scared of these monsters, and you should be. My mate is going to rip you to pieces for laying a single hand on me, and I’ll let him. Fuck, I’ll even enjoy it.”

“You and yourmatewon’t be getting out of here alive. You’re just a baby maker that we watch and laugh at.”

I jerk slightly before throwing my head back to laugh. “So you do watch to get your jollies off! Why, Commander, is it me you’re watching or their impressive dicks? Is it because they are massive and something to be jealous of?”

Another guard hauls me away, gripping my arm hard. “Do not push him,” he hisses in my ear. “He won’t go easy on you, despite the fact that they need you.”

My eyes go back to the commander, who stands with another guard before him, holding him back, and I see malice in his eyes. I’ve made an enemy. Good. I can use his anger. Judging by the warning I just received, it seems the commander has a habit of mistreating the women here. That’s even better, and when Akuji rips him to pieces, I’ll make sure to enjoy it.

I’m led the short distance to the lab, and luckily, I manage to bite my tongue as I’m strapped down. The restraints are so tight, they bite into my skin. It’s undoubtedly a punishment, so I fake moan. “You guys really know how to show a girl a good time. What’s next? The whip? Because I’ve got to tell you, I’m down for that.” With a disgusted sneer, they leave me there. To pass the time, I whistle and sing to myself. It’s false bravado.

I’m fucking terrified of what they are going to do to me. They have no morals. Nothing is too far. They could cut out my womb and grow it in a vat for all I know. So whistling it is.

“Are you really mated to a monster?” a little voice says.

I jerk my head around to an unnatural, painful angle to see the little red monster in a cage under a bench. He could have been here the last time I was and I wouldn’t have noticed. My eyes widen before narrowing in anger. He mistakes it and turns away with a sniffle, so I force myself to calm down.

“Is that what you heard?” I ask, making my voice as soft as possible, trying not to show my fury at the scientist.

“My mummy said a human was going to help us, and that she was mated to a monster. I didn’t believe her,” he hedges after a moment, peering back at me with sweet, black eyes filled with hope.

“Yeah, kid, I’m going to help all of you. I’m mated to Akuji, do you know who that is?” I ask softly, ignoring the crick in my neck.

He shakes his head, his eyes darting around in fear. “I was birthed in here.”

I have to breathe through my anger. “Are your mummy and daddy here?” I inquire.

“Just my mummy. They caught her when she had me in her belly. My daddy is somewhere out there. Mummy says he’ll be so upset without us and that he loves me.”

“I have no doubt that’s true,” I tell him honestly, “and I promise you will see your daddy soon. Are you okay though? Hungry? Tired?”

“They don’t like it when I talk,” he whispers suddenly, “and when I’m quiet, they don’t hurt me as much.”

Fucking hell.
