Scarface breathed deeply and I saw his pupils dilated. Finally, he spoke in a mangled voice, “What the fruck is Sid doing with Alpha?”
“Alpha? You mean like a tribal alpha? Like your alpha?” I can see his body shaking. If I wasn’t scared, I would think his tail looks so cute and fluffy, standing.
“Who are you?” Scarface asked me. I remained quiet.
“I thought you said we should not get involved - “
“He smells like -“ he cut himself off. I can see from his long sleeved shirt his muscles straining. His fists bounded into fist. He breathed again. “Load the goods.”
He looked back a little when the mouthy guy remained quiet. They might be friends or even lovers when they communicated in their mind. Or their eyes. I really can’t tell. “I said, load the goods.”
The mouthy guy eeped. His voice got thinner. So scratch lovers. Scarface might be higher up in the food chain.
Mouthy guy took just a few wooden boxes then went out. Before he can really exit, Scarface shouted, “Make sure you come back here.”
He did not look at me until the other guy is out. What surprised me though is he went to the pool and placed something in it. More like washing something. He donned a glove that made me whimper.
No, he can’t be thinking of killing me here? The only alpha I know is Roqs. What are the chances he is talking about the same person?
He turned and I can see him frowning. When he started to walk towards me, I pulled myself up so I can go to the other end of the cage and sat down. My hands around my knees. There’s really nowhere for me to go. Only 1 of his hands has a glove. In the movies, a killer usually don both hands with gloves.
Bang.
I closed my eyes and made myself smaller, almost hugging the floors.
He growled at me.
Bang. Bang. Bang.
Each loud noise felt like a bullet hit me. I jumped at the sound. When nothing happened, I slowly raised my face and opened my eyes.
He is scowling at me. His eyes mad.
“Here,” he extended his gloved hand towards me. “Take it. Take it now.” He growled the last word.
I was too shocked to even process what’s going on. It looked like metal. Is that he’s banging on the cage doors? Some sort of lanyard is attached to it.
“Are you an imbecile? Take it now!” He shouted and against my wishes, I complied. I did not stand up just in case he does something to hurt me. With little steps, I reached him just enough so that when I stretch my arm, I took the metal.
Metal. Not a crystal which I was hoping for. As soon as I touched it, I crawled away from him. Back to my little corner but this time, I did not close my eyes.
“Wear it and leave this place. I will open the cage now.” This time he pulled a crystal but it was too quick and I couldn’t see what color it was. The cage door’s opened a little. I tensed. Is he going inside? But he did not enter. Just looked at me as he re-aligned the cage door so nobody is the wiser that it’s now opened. No indicator that it’s closed or open.
He stared at me some more, like he’s trying to memorize my features. “If you see me again, I will deny it. I did not see you, talked to you, hear you or even smelled you. Do you hear me?”
I nod. Why is he helping me? That is what I want to ask. What’s his name? At the last minute, when he is about to turn, I whispered, “T-Thank you.”
He stiffened. So he might have heard me. “Do not talk to me again. Leave as soon as you can. You have about an hour before that chip is deactivated.”
Without waiting for my acknowledgement, he turned around and I gasped. He stiffened but he continued to walk to an area that I cannot see. The bundle of cloth and stacks other cartons obscured my view.
His scar runs all the way back of his head. Is he an outlaw then from Roqs and Zirc’s tribe? Is that why he want me gone because he knew they will look for me?
I smelled my armpits. Yeah, I smell but nothing too bad that I want to take a bath in a dirty river. But I don’t smell Zirc, Roqs or even Coone on me. They might be feline-looking but their sense of smell might be greater than dogs?
Just then, the main door swished open. The mouthy guy glanced at my direction but dismissed me again. However, his eyes looked at the animal near me with longing. “All lock and loaded.”
Scarface just harrumphed and went to the door.
