New Contract

“What the hell happened in here?,” Ang says and sweeps the room and bathroom as per usual, but this time it definitely makes sense. The doctor is by my side in an instant picking up the IV stand and rehanging the bag. “Put that thing in me again, I dare you,” I glare at him. My claws digging through the blankets into the mattress. He takes a step back and lets go of the tube with the needle attached, “Akira, we’re only here to help, there’s nothing in this that can hurt you. If you don’t want it that’s completely fine, I will not force anything,” he says. I retract my claws. Two more pack members join us in the cabin, I’m guessing they called for backup. Understandable. I’m a wild, turned wolf they know absolutely nothing about. And clearly neither do I. “Star did we do this?” I ask her. “I’m not sure but I think we did, that blinding light Akira, that was from us. It may have caused this destruction,” she hesitates, “I feel your power more than ever now. It’s strong. It makes me strong.” She doesn’t explain further. She doesn’t sound very happy about it, but I’m not exactly happy either. It’s the unknown that worries us. We don’t know what I am or what I can do. We just know it’s there and these surprise appearances of power prove I’m a liability. I am a threat based off ignorance and inexperience. What if someone was in here with the blast of light? I could have hurt someone or worse… I didn’t want to think of it.

I rub my hands down my face. “I’m sorry I-“ I don’t even know what to say, “How long have I been out?” I ask. “Three days,” the doctor says, “We thought it was the best solution to your pain. You seem to have a stronger heat than most, the Alpha didn’t want you in pain-“ “Or all the unmated males making their way to the cabin, that shit was strong,” Ang shuts up with one look from the doctor. “We didn’t know dosages for your…kind. You seem to need much larger amounts to take the same effect,” he finished explaining. I look to each one of their faces. Shock and confusion coating mine, “What do you mean my kind?” I turn to the doctor. He seems very professional, standing with his hands behind his back and his posture perfect, and also in the way he speaks, but I feel as if I’m only getting half truths out of him. “I think it’s pretty clear,” he looks around the room at the mess, “I haven’t taken any blood samples from you or anything else without your consent. If you would let me, I believe studying the results in comparison to a born wolf may provide you with some answers.”

I want to tell him to go to hell and that I’m not some lab rat but I don’t think wolves believe in hell. I’d tell you I didn’t either as a human but I think I may have found it and it includes mythical creatures. Stars’ offence is felt through the bond, I didn’t mean her. “You are the light in the darkness, the guiding star that brings lost ones home and the only reason I’m here today. But you have to admit, this hasn’t been all sunshine and rainbows for me Star,” I tell her hoping she understands. “I am here to guide and help,” she replies. “You are so much more than that Star, so much more,” I send all my love down the bond so she feels it.

“Okay,” I tell the doctor, “I’ll do it.” His grin would be seen from miles away even with human eyesight. “BUT I am to be included in every thing that is discovered. That also includes any information found not through the tests done.” His smile falters and is not reaching his eyes anymore. “Of course,” he says, “I can’t make that deal with you but-“, “It’s fine,” Noah walks through the door. And damn, I almost start drooling. He’s dressed like a mafia boss. A button up, long sleeve collared shirt with slacks and dress shoes. All black. Plus some silver jewelry, rings, watch, and a chain around his neck that can be seen since his shirt had a few buttons undone at the top. Very different than the usual track suits I’ve seen him in lately. And his hair, God his hair. It’s styled in a wet look with wavy curls that almost reach his eyes. I realize my mouth is hanging open when Ang clears his throat looking at me and smirks when I close it and glare at him. I thought I wouldn’t be attracted to him like this since the heat has worn off but maybe it’s still there. “No, it’s worn off now. This is all you,” Star laughs. I roll my eyes at her and sigh.

I hear the tch sound immediately, “I thought we talked about that Akira,” he says. He’s not looking at me as he casually rolls up his sleeves. I need to distract myself from staring at this man. “I would like to make a contract of my own,” I state. He pauses, then continues with his sleeves till they’re mid way up his forearms. He looks at me with one eye brow raised, “Go on.” I take a deep breath and continue, “If you are to do testing on me, I want, in writing, that I will be privy to all results and information gathered on my…kind.” He stares at me for a long moment, “And?” He asks. And? What does he mean and? And what? Then it comes to me. “And, if the contract is breached I am to take all samples with me and leave,” I add. There, not a cell, not a prison, not a lab rat, I have an out. The side of his mouth slightly curves upwards. “On one condition,” he says. I sigh again and a blaze ignites in his eyes as he begins to walk casually towards the bed, stepping around the debris, and stops beside the doctor and crosses his arms. His muscles look like they’ll burst through his shirt and the veins in his arms become very noticeable. “You must be forthcoming in regard to your powers and what you know of yourself.” I contemplate it for a minute then I hold up one finger to him indicating I needed a moment.
