"Get up boy!" I jerk awake sending pain through my body as I pull on my restraints. "We're leaving."
No I can't leave! Aries and Anhur are coming for me.
"I'm not going anywhere!" I spit at the guard.
"Don't make us chain you and drag you out! Be a good little puppy." He taunts.
"Screw you!" I yell.
"Sorry boy you're not my type... get the chains!" He calls for another guard.
His buddy comes and they cross silver chains over my chest. The metal digs into my exposed skin causing it to burn and I scream in pain. He hooks a lead to the chains where they intersect on my chest and begins to pull.
"Now I'll say it again we're leaving. Come on boy." He says pulling me forward.
I stumble after him and out of the cells. The sunlight burns my eyes and I have to take a moment to adjust to the newfound light. The guard drags me to a van digging the burning chains deeper into my flesh.
"Where are we going?" I ask as they throw me in the back.
"The King wants you back at his pack... not my business. I'm just glad I don't have to deal with you anymore." He says closing the door.
Two men get in the front one of which is none other than the "great Alpha King" bull! I can't stand this guy! Why is he moving me? What is his interest? It will be much harder for my boys to find me now.
"I thought we could continue our conversation while on the road." He says looking back at me through the metal lattice that separates us. I just roll my eyes.
"So you were "saved" when you were ten and raised by hunters... you can command other wolves. Do your comrades share this ability?" He asks.
"Why are you taking me?" I ignore his question.
"You intrest me... I'll leave it at that for now... Answer the question." I turn away from him. "Do I need to remind you that I can get the information I want without your cooperation?" I let out a sigh.
"Yes... they don't affect me and it's not as strong as mine, but they can influence one another." I tell him.
"I wonder what pack he was from." I hear him mumble to himself.
"Were you and your men taken at the same time?"
"Yes."
"Hmm..."
Why is he so concerned about my past? Why does he care?
"What do you mean by what "pack" I'm from?" I ask.
"You... are special... not all wolves can command one another. The fact that you all can do it is concerning... I think I may know who you boys are but I need to look in my files... I am curious about what pack you are Alpha of." He answers.
"Alpha?"
"Yes... only Alphas can command other wolves. Your father must be dead for you to be as strong as you are... I'm guessing your pack was destroyed. Your friends however have families somewhere since they are not full Alphas yet." He explains.
"You are full of crap! We were all orphaned. The home we were in caught fire and father saved us. That is what happened!" I yell at him.
"Titan... you are going to have to realize... none of what your "father" told you is true."
"Stupid Dog Man." I mumble ignoring the crap he is spitting at me.
I would be dead if it weren't for father. No way he lied to me. Odin had scars to prove we were in a fire. Father took care of us. I have no reason not to trust him.
We road in silence all day... at least I did. The two up front laugh and talk but I ignore them. The silver has made me weak... I don't think I could fight them if I tried. After the sun goes down we pull into a run down motel.
"Alright boy here's the deal... I'm gonna have my friend here take off your chains and were going to rest for the night. If I even think you might fight or run I'll lock you back up and you can sleep in the van. Am I understood?"
"Yes." I groan.
"Good boy... come on Tate you unlock him I'll get us a room." The "king" says.
The guard sets me loose and I collapse on the ground. I try to move my arms to release the tingles and regain feeling as I pull myself to my knees.
"Get up Titan. We got a room." The king says as he returns. I try to stand but stumble due to my weakened state. The men help me into our room.
"You know for a king you got us staying in a dump. I figured someone as high and mighty as king would stay in a five star joint." This place is a dump. I sware I saw the carpet move and I don't want to know what bugs live here or when the last time the sheets were cleaned was. He just laughs.
"I might have stayed in a nicer place but you see they have security cameras and they actually care about who is staying. Places like this are more don't ask don't tell. Traveling with a prisoner anonymity becomes more important." He says.
"Thanks for that by the way." The other man Tate grumbles as they drop me on one of the beds.
"Rest up Titan... we'll be home tomorrow." The king smiles at me.
I want to argue, fight, even sit up but my body is weak. The chains and the commands have taken a toll. I decide to try and rest... in the morning hopefully I'm strong enough to escape.
●○●○●○●
I hear them moving around when I wake up. I keep my eyes closed waiting for my moment to strike. Tate leaves... putting the king's bag back in the van I'd guess. I hear the king approach and ready myself to attack. Just a little closer and...
"I know you're awake Titan... are you going to get in the van peacefully or do I need to get the chains?"
I open my eyes to look at the man. How did he know?
"Your heart rate slows when you sleep as does your breathing... we're wolves it's not that hard to hear the change in rythm." I guess the question was painted on my face. "Get up boy... I don't want to hurt you."
"What ever." I mumble.
"I think you mean yes Alpha... remember respect." He corrects me. I let out a low growl.
"Yes Alpha." I say through gritted teeth.
"Better... now let's go." He says gesturing to the door. I stand and leave with him right behind me.
I look around. The van is straight ahead of us. To the right is a fence and buildings. To the left the entrance to the parking lot and my chance at freedom.
I feel a sharp pain in my shoulder and look down to see the king's hand claws dug deep into me.
"Don't try it son... I'm being nice here but I promise you, I am more powerful than you. You won't escape. You won't win in a fight. Your best bet is to cooperate." He is smiling but I know he is serious. I can feel the power coming off of him. I haven't seen him fight but I believe him.
"Yes Alpha." I mumble looking at the ground.
"Good... get in the van." He says opening the back. I climb in and he closes the door.
It takes most of the day before we stop in the middle of the woods. Tate talks to a man and a gate opens on front of us.
"This is my home... you will stay in the cells... at least for now." The king informs me. "I don't see the need to use silver as long as you continue to make good decisions."
I've been feeling steadily worse sence I woke up. My skin itches and is on fire at the same time. I am sweating and shaking at this point. As they open the back of the van I guess my condition is rather obvious by the concern in the kings voice.
"What's wrong with you boy? You look sick." That's when it hit me. My pills! I haven't taken my medication in three days!
"I need my pills." I moan looking up at him. "In my vest."
"What are they for?" He asks.
"Managing the side effects of the Dog Man drugs! I need my pills!" I yell.
Flashback (age 13)
"Father!" I scream stumbling toward him.
"What's wrong Titan?" He asks catching me as I fall forward.
"I hurt! Everything hurts!" I scratch at my arms. Honestly I feel like tearing off my own skin just to stop the pain.
"Have you been taking your medicine every day?" He asks.
"I felt fine! So... no sir." I confess.
"Titan! You know you need it!" He scolds me.
"I'll take it now!" I try to stand on my own but fall to the ground. Father picks me up.
"Its too late for that now... we need to get it straight into your bloodstream." He carries me to the infirmary and drops me on a bed.
Father ties a band around my bicep and pulls a syringe out of a cabinet. My entire body is shaking and in pain. Father pins my shoulders to the table with one arm and removes the cover from the needle with his teeth. He puts a knee on my wrist to steady my arm and injects the drug into my vein. He releases me and removes the band.
Pain shoots up my arm followed by a numbness that fills my body. The pain slowly subsides as the drug takes effect. I fall into the bead. Everything feels fine now. I don't want to move. For some reason the wall across from me holds all of my attention.
"Titan... Titan!" Father snaps in my face and I look at him. "Take your pills every day boy! Your irresponsibility could have hurt you today." He sighs and his gaze softens. "Rest for now... I want you back in training 0400 tomorrow."
"Yea... uhhh... umm hummm..." I say refocusing on the wall. Father sighs again and leaves.
Present
"Take him to the infirmary." The king orders.
"My pills!" I argue.
"No... I'm not giving you something when I don't know what it is." He tells me then turns to one of his men. "Test the pills in his vest I want to know what he's taking." The man nods and runs off.
"You're killing me!" I yell digging at the skin on my chest.
I am in and out of conciousness as they drag me away.
...
...
"He's suffering from withdrawal... his body doesn't know how to function without the drugs." I hear a man say.
I can't move. It feels like I am tied down to a bed. I can't open my eyes because the light is already burning them while they are still closed. My body aches and I'm drenched in sweat.
"Please! Alpha! My pills! I beg you! I'll tell you what ever you want! I'll do what ever you want! Help me!" I scream pulling at my binds.
Alpha King Alic's POV
I feel for this boy. He doesn't know anything about who he is or where he comes from... how is he going to respond when he realizes he has been murdering his own people. That he's been used by the enemy. Crap the man he calls father probably killed off his pack! his parents! And now if that wasn't enough he is suffering withdrawal from a drug they have been giving him for ten years.
Knock knock knock
"Enter."
The doctor walks into my office.
"We have the test results from the drug the boy had." He tells me.
"What is it?" I ask.
"Low concentrations of diluted wolfsbane and silver mixed with amphetamines and steroids... basically this combination would suppress his wolf, make him addicted, and strengthen his body... a super soldier dependent on the drug you give him... I'm not sure he will survive without it." The doctor explains.
"Can you help him." I ask
"We have him on some medication that should curb some of the symptoms but honestly Alpha King... his body is so dependent on this drug I'm not sure how much I can help." He won't meet my eye as he tells me.
"Thank you doctor... please do all you can." I say. The doctor bows to me and leaves.
Come on Titan Fight!... I hope he survives. I want to help him. I'm not even sure he'll accept it but I'm at least going to try to help. One day maybe he will even join my pack... I have to admit he would be a good Gamma. A military leader. Please God take care of the boy!
