Having not realized that Derek had let him go to try and move the cells bars, Xander finally came out of his thoughts when Derek said, “The bars are well placed, do you know where the key is?”

Suddenly aware that Scott was there as well, having tried to find a weakness with the cell bars, Xander wondered how long he had been there…

Key…

Xander nodded, “They had used it once to give me a bucket, one of them got bitten by the she wolf.”

Derek raised his eyes and smiled, “That’s a good girl.”

The wolf had grown quiet since Derek had come, but she was watching Derek with eyes of a hunter.

“She’s hurt.” Xander stated, getting closer to the wolf on his side of the cell, “She has blood…”

“Get away or she’ll bite you!” Derek shouted, almost feeling like his heart stopped!

 

Xander turned to Derek and sighed, “She might look like she’s alright, Derek. But…I don’t think she is! Look, she hasn’t even been able to go and get that piece of meat that they threw in!”

Derek held onto the bars tightly, trying to keep his voice down, “Please, Xander…Just step a little away from the wolf.”

Xander came back to Derek, still looking at the wolf, “If you can’t get me out, Derek, at least try to help her. Maybe you could get a long stick and force the meat closer to her or…It would be better to go in there and bring the other pup to her, it might already be dead now, not being able to be with its mother…”

Derek, with an arm halfway in the cell and protectively around Xander, looked at the wolf in exhaustion.

Why does he have to look after that damned thing!?

 

It was a little frustrating to see Xander so…Into a wolf. He was right here but it seemed that the wolf, a creature, one that would kill Xander, was the one that had all the attention!

“Mmm…” Derek held onto Xander tighter, knowing full well he was just jealous. It was hard to get a hold of! He wasn’t all that bad at holding his emotions at bay, but this ‘jealousy’ was still something he had to work on! Actually, anything to do with Xander was like this! He angered faster and…And he did more outrageous things…Like hitting walls!

Yet, Derek was sort of glad as well, as…What would Xander be like if he weren’t worried about the she wolf?

It still wasn’t all that long ago that Xander had tried suicide, so Derek had kept an eye on him.

With being taken away by force and placed into such a place, Derek was just glad that Xander didn’t look like he was going to kill himself or get too anxious because of the change…

To this, Derek could chase his jealousy away easily and replace it with gratitude…

 

Just one look at Xander’s face and Derek sighed in defeat, putting his head against the bars.

“I will try to get you out first!” Derek stated, then, after another moment, continued, “If…It proves to be a little harder, I will see what I can do about the wolf.”

Derek felt a kiss on his head, melting to the sweet gesture, then melted some more to Xander’s thanks.

Only this Omega could make him turn into mosh!

But, the thanks received, the kiss, it was worth it!

“I’ll get you out, I promise!” Derek said, now looking at Xander.

Xander showed his trust and gave Derek a smile, “I know. I was feeling bad before but now, now that you know I’m here and that I’ve seen you, I should be alright.”

 

Derek kissed Xander’s head through the bars and then his nose and lips, “I’ll go see what I can do to get you out!”

Xander quickly peeked Derek back on the lips, pulled back and nodded, “Ok.”

Not wanting to leave, Derek stared at Xander, but got interrupted by a growl.

Looking over at the wolf, Derek saw it turn its head and huff.

Frowning, Derek finally let himself see that the wolf did indeed seem hurt in some way. “My father will probably want to tame each one of them.”

Xander looked at Derek, and said, “They had tried to take two of the pups not too long ago, but I saved one and gave it back to her.”

“What!? Are you crazy?” Derek angrily said, quickly looking to see if there were any bites on Xander.

Xander held Derek’s hand tighter and suddenly had an urge to cry, “Derek, he won’t just take my baby, will he?”

 

Derek stopped.

He couldn’t help but worry about that exact same thing as well…

His father was obviously keeping Xander alive, most likely because he was pregnant…But…

Gripping onto Xander’s hand tighter, Derek shook his head, “Whatever my father plans to do, it won’t matter. I will do my utmost to make sure that you are safe…That you and our child is safe!”

Xander gave a short nod but wasn’t too sure to believe it or not.

He believed in Derek’s resolve and love for him but…If he could be safe, he wouldn’t be trapped into this cell!

Squeezing his eyes shut, Xander wanted to hit himself!

 

He needed to keep relying upon Derek, because…They knew what it was like to not trust the other! They shouldn’t go back there again!

“Mmm…I’m sorry…I’m so sorry that so far I have not been able to protect you!”

Derek’s words halted Xander and…For some reason, even though those words were right, it felt like the burden of them had been taken away…Probably because Xander knew how much Derek did indeed mean them.

Derek didn’t want harm to come to him, Xander knew that…And now looking at Derek’s extremely sad looking and guilt-ridden face, Xander softened completely and put a hand to his face, leaning in to give him another peek on the lips. “I know you didn’t…Umph!”

Bumping into Derek’s lips once again, Xander found himself delighted with how frantic this man was!

The kiss was full, full of lips, full of emotion and Xander felt Derek’s hands holding him tighter.

This man may be an Alpha, but he certainly had some things that really did make him lose control!

 

When Derek finally let Xander go, he took a step back and nodded.

If he held onto Xander too much longer, he may never let go!

He had to get the key and find a contingency plan…Then, then he could get Xander out of here!

As much as he hated the fact of Xander being stuck there, alone, in the dark and without what a pregnant Omega needs…He can’t just take Xander away without thinking it through though, so it is best to have a few things sent here to help Xander be more comfortable…

 

If his father was not the person he was, Xander wouldn’t be here in the first place and so Derek knew that just doing what he wanted and stating this to his father would not be enough!

He was still a child in his father’s eyes and for once, he felt like a child! He needed to grow up quickly and finally understand what it’s like to actually go against another Alpha…To which he has never done before…

Officially fighting another Alpha was already something that he had thought of before because it was in his plans for bringing back Omega’s but…Right now, this trouble with Xander and his Alpha Father, it would be a good experience for him to help for the future and…Derek did not in the least want to stuff up this plan!

 

His highest goals, with freeing the Omega’s, was because of this Omega! So, if anything happened to Xander now…His ultimate goal would vanish into the thin air!

He had to save Xander, there were no buts…There was no maybe’s…He simply had to save Xander and bring him back to his side and that was that!

“It might be a day or two, maybe a week, Xander, but I can’t just get you out with no plan! I’ll send things so make sure to hide them as best as you can. I’ll also come and see you, so you better take good care of yourself!”

With that said, Derek broke his heart, or left it there, and left…

Scott followed Derek, glancing once more at Xander, before also disappearing up the stairs…

…They were going to be quite busy for the next few days!

 

After watching both Derek and then Scott go out of vision, Xander swallowed and took a deep breath.

Now that he thought about it, he probably would have been in hysterics by now…Only…

Looking at the poor she wolf, Xander softened his look and sat close to her. With a soft voice, Xander spoke to her, hoping to calm her or hoping to help her forget her pain or something…Just hoping that he could help achieve something for the poor she wolf who was not only hurt and lost a pup but…The other pup, it seems that it was no longer calling out for its mother…It seems that it was no longer moving…

Hopefully, it was moving, and he just couldn’t see properly because of how dark it was…Hopefully…

 

Wiping a tear that was going down his face, Xander apologized for the pup and told the she wolf outright that he hoped that this didn’t ever happen to him! That, even though it wasn’t him going through her pain, it was such a sad event that he couldn’t stop himself from crying and feeling bad for her!

At this present point in time, with tears running down his face, being honest and open with a human enemy, Xander had not been so emotional in his entire life!

Was it because of hormones?

Was it because he felt like everything was just coming at him at once and he felt overly emotional?

Whatever it was, his emotions spilled out with a witness watching over him…

 

***

 

It was said that this new ‘Breeding Pill’ was better than the ‘previous one’. They had enhanced ‘this’ and stated some big words that Norman didn’t understand for ‘that’…So, was it worth trying?

Norman toyed with the small bottle in front of him and then sat back and crossed his arms over his chest.

He had never tried the previous one, but it was said that the chance of conceiving had indeed increased, just not by much. Norman found that he was glad that he hadn’t used it, as it seems a few people have gotten some type of weird virus or other type of sickness that had either nearly killed those who had taken it or had in fact killed them.

So, again, the question must be asked…Was this new, more ‘advanced’ ‘Breeding Pill’ worth trying out?

 

Again, Norman picked up the bottle and made a face.

His son was now expecting a child, whereas he had no other child and Derek was not someone he could control easily anymore.

He wanted more, more Alpha’s, maybe he could even tolerate Beta’s now, only if they were controllable though.

Derek was becoming more and more of an eyesore as the time goes by and now seeing him with that slave Omega…

For the first time, Norman was suddenly wanting another child as soon as possible!

It just happened to be a coincidence that he had gotten this little bottle on the same day that he had decided to make more preparations upon obtaining more children.

 

Of course, Norman knew he wanted more children before but now it was more critical that it happen and that it happens as soon as possible! This obviously meant that he was really considering trying out the ‘Breeding Pill’!

There was only one tablet in the bottle, so only one chance…So, if there were a sickness that could kill the person who took it…

That was fine, at least this time the male didn’t have to take the pill, as it was only the female that took it, it also meant that his life was not in danger.

…So, since that was the case, he was willing to choose just about any other women to try this pill on! Only if it works, he will make Polly take it but if he were to choose someone else, it wouldn’t matter if it worked or not. Besides, there were many out there that would take cash for something like this and not speak a word about it to anyone else!

 

Considering that the pill may not work, then there was no harm in trying it out! He just had to choose a female that wasn’t selling herself out but instead happy to throw herself into his arms…That would be all that was needed and since he was an Alpha, it wouldn’t be something hard to get!

The problem was…If it didn’t work, he knew he’d be angry about it!

It wasn’t cheap to obtain this pill!

But…For his goal and to know as soon as possible, so that if he had to shut the place down as soon as possible…He had to do this and do this now! And since a decision had been made, Norman got up to leave but stopped all of a sudden, just as he got his jacket.

He knew that they hadn’t completely finalized the pills yet…So, should he give that slave Omega to them to help them out?

 

Norman stood still for a moment, as his mind raced with ideas.

He saw the pro’s and con’s and weighed them together.

If only they could find a way to find out what type of child it is before it was born!

Knowing if the Omega’s child was an Omega or not, really did bring the idea to a halt.

Considering that tests were being made, meaning that it could actually kill the child, Norman frowned to the idea of a Beta or Alpha, well in Derek’s case it would only be an Alpha or Omega, but nonetheless the child being killed, or forced to become defective...

What was the point of trying to obtain an Alpha or Beta family if the children couldn’t become smart!?

No, he will keep that slave Omega for now…Even though the child has a high chance of becoming an Omega, he will keep the Omega and…Well, since the slave was now of age to go into heat, perhaps he will keep him for himself instead!

Yes, the Omega’s future still needs more thinking about!

 

But…If there comes a doctor, or a way to find out what type of child is inside of the slave before it’s born…

But since it can’t be done…

Putting on his jacket, Norman lightly threw the pill bottle in the air and caught it, before placing it into a pocket.

The time was still early in the day, but that didn’t matter, he’ll go to a place that he used to go years ago and pick one of the Beta pretty girls.

Ah, it had been awhile!

Looking forward to having sex with a pretty and younger girl then Polly, Norman had that slight extra jump in his step to show his enthusiasm…

“Ah, you’re awake!”

Oscar frowned and squinted his eyes as he looked around, still only half opened from sleep.

Naturally wanting to move, he found out that he was being stopped and slowly looked at what seemed to be his hands being tied down on each side of his body.

What was going on, he asked himself groggily.

Blinking a few times, he tried to remember what he was last doing, and he was sure that he wasn’t where he was now as it was where he’d been with…

Aubrey…Oh, I nearly called her my teddy bear! But why…

Why was he here?

 

“Do you feel any pain? Do you feel tingly, getting cramps or going numb?”

Oscar looked at the person looking at him, not understanding why he was being asked such questions…And…Who was this person? Oscar stared as he tried to think if he had met this person before…

“Still groggy? Or is this normal?” The person stated, putting their fingers over Oscar’s wrist.

“What is going on? Where am I?” Oscar asked, once again pulling at his arms but they didn’t come free, “Why am I tied up?”

“Ah, he’s waking up…A slow waker it seems.” The person stated, smiling at Oscar and taking his fingers off his wrist.

Then another person came over, also taking the pulse of Oscar.

Oscar started to breath slightly heavier, finally seeing the reality of what was going on…Obviously…He had been kidnapped!

It wasn’t a dream and he was really being tied down and looked on by what he thought as two crazy people!

 

“Let me go!” Oscar stated, rather loudly and showing signs of the start of his obvious panic. So soon after waking, he already thought of going back to Aubrey…Stunning himself that he thought that place as his home so quickly! Well, not only that but, it had been safe too, so safe to be in an Alpha’s territory, an Alpha’s arms…

Yet…That face of hers…It seems that he missed it already…It really wasn’t just the safety feeling, was it?

Now…As much as he tried to stay calm, he couldn’t help but see the obvious hopeless situation for himself going on here!

“Should we put him under again, Master? He seems quite obstinate and might make things harder!”

 

The second person shook their heads, “Not yet. I want to see his reaction when awake…Give him the agreed third lot of testing. Hopefully this pregnant Omega will give us the right formula to finally finish the Breeding Pill!”

The first person left, and Oscar moved his body around, now noticing that even his feet were bound as well, making him even more hopeless then he had thought just moments before!

What stopped him from fighting his binds though…Were that of some words that sounded like they were directed at him.

It couldn’t possibly be right…
