A Familiar Scent Part 1

Stanley P.O.V

‘Alpha, the shipment of new Breeders has arrived at the gate.’ I received a Mindlink from an excited, unmated Omega male. ‘Okay, I’m on my way.’ I finish my letter to my ally, Ryn. Alpha of the Wild Timbers Pack. Attach it to a messenger pigeon, open the window and send it on its way. I look out over my Packlands. And see a dark past, and an uncertain future ahead. Even with the arrival of the Breeders. Ten years ago, back when I thought I was a normal human child. I had known very little about the Supernatural creatures that lived in our world. But arriving home from school near the end of my fifth-grade year. I learned quickly that these creatures were very real...

~Flashback 10 years earlier~

I walked into our apartment building and headed up the stairs. I spot two unknown men standing outside of me and my mother’s opened apartment door! Upon seeing me, the two guys sniff the air. Smirk and look knowingly at each other as if having an unspoken conversation. I heard yelling and crashing sounds from inside and ran through the door, calling for my mom. “Mom!”

She yells, “Stay back, Stan, it’s not safe!” I round the corner to see this menacingly tall, muscular man cornering my mom in the kitchen. She has a large knife pointed toward him! The man growls so viciously at her that the entire apartment rattles! Before I can blink, he held the knife in one hand and the other tightly around her throat! I heard her try to gasp for air. He snarled and roared in her face. “Not safe?! He’s my Son!” She glares with tears falling down her cheeks as she rasps, “Your Son? You raped me!” “Mom!” I rush forward to help her, but without even looking at me. He backhands me so hard that I flew across the living room, colliding into our entertainment center! I fell onto the floor with a loud thud, items crashing down into and around me. Gasping for air. I whimper in agony as pain exploded throughout my whole body. My vision blurred and I’m dizzy, coughing up blood. Whimpering more because the jerking movements cause more pain in my body.

I barely make out one of the men from outside walking in. And my dad, I guess. Punched mom, knocking her out, then tossed her over to the other guy. My ‘dad’ comes and lifts me up roughly by the back of my school shirt and carried me outside to a waiting black Rolls-Royce. Sitting me in the back next to my unconscious mother. He sits next to me. The other guys sat across from us. The car begins moving, weaving through traffic. My ‘dad’ tells the driver, “Slow down, we don’t need unwanted attention.” “Yes, Alpha.” I have no clue where we’re heading. I’m hurting badly, but still call out quietly to my mom. She groans faintly, frowning and trying to open her eyes. I hug her around her back and use my thumb to gently wipe the blood from her mouth. I hear my ‘dad’ warn me, “Don’t you ever attack me over a damn human again! Or it’ll be the last thing you do, boy.” I turn to him, shocked! Human? What is he, an alien?! I’m getting scared now. My mom is starting to come around now. His eyes flicker from me over to her and they go completely black! He reaches across me to grab her by her neck again, pulling her towards him. She gasps for air and her eyes bulge as his teeth grow long and sharp! Oh, God, is he a vampire!? Gasps! He bites into her neck, and blood leaks down her skin, staining her scrub top! She screams at the top of her lungs!

Terrified, I demand. “What are you doing to her?” While trying to push him off her. With his free hand, he grips my shirt and tosses me on the floor in between the other guys. I try to get up, but they held me down with their feet. One guy barks out a laugh. The other snarls harshly, “Weak!” My ‘dad’ removes his teeth from her skin and tells her, “You’ll be my personal breeder, Stella. You’ve already produced one pup for me. Let’s see how many more I can pump out of you. You belong to me now.” She sobs and faints. “Mom!” I call and try to get up, but the guy’s foot presses me down hard. Causing me to cry out in pain. They all laugh sadistically at me. One says, “So damn weak!” The other, “Yeah, that ain’t gonna cut it where we’re going.” And ‘dad’, “Nope, we’re about to beat that weak-ass human side out of you, boy. And train you into the alpha that you were born to be!” The last thing I remember was his foot kicking me in the face before I passed out.

~Present~

So for the next ten years, that’s what they did. My dad, who I learned was named Earle. And his brothers, Tyrone & Dre literally beat the ‘weak human side’ out of me. One day, I asked Earle why he chose to come get me? He said that the humans were trying to exterminate us like they did many other Supernatural species. And he told me about an airborne virus the humans created to sterilize the Werewolves. The virus was administered from airplanes over the many Packlands. But it only worked on the She-wolves. Being an extremely potent virus, it shriveled up their eggs and left their reproductive organs permanently inactive. So no pups have been born in the last ten years.

The reason it didn’t work on the males is because our sperm is produced on a daily basis. Whereas the females are born with all the eggs that they will need for their lifetime. The males were enraged and went to mating with the human females. By force, of course. Earle had a Mate, Tasha. And she had one son for him, my older brother, Deontay. A year after, he was born, and she was pregnant with their second pup. She went to hold a public meeting with the human government to form a truce. Before the meeting was held, she was gunned down and murdered in her hotel room by human mercenaries. The suspects were never found of course, and it drove Earle insane. A year after her death, he began raping human females in retaliation. Which is how I and several other siblings of mine were born.
