Instinct (boyxboy)

Chapter 5

I woke up on the cold concrete floor. Stretching as my vision cleared up. The two burns from the metal prongs rubbed uncomfortably against the shirt they had given me. They were spewing stuff about decency which is quite strange for mutts like them, they usually run around naked.

The small room I was in was quite boring, a muted grey all around with a small futon bed paired with a thin blanket. To be completely honest I was great full to get out of the alley, some violent thunder storms had started rolling in since late last night so the alley would have been miserable.

I was still in my half transformed state, after all it was the most natural for me, fully human and fully wolf both felt uncomfortable and cramped, like I was wearing clothes to small for me. My ears perked slightly as I heard the door jingle and open.

"Oh is somebody braving the monster." I taunted, very aware of the packs unease at my presence.

"I need to talk to you," it was the pup man again, damn I really need to learn his name. "I feel bad keeping you caged in here but I can't have you murdering my lack mates every night, I'm here to find a compromise... I don't want you leaving either so you don't kill people elsewhere too."

"What kind of compromise? How the hell am I supposed to get blood without killing or severely harming people?" My words were edged with mild hate, trying my best to show how against this "deal" I was.

"There's a hospital in the town, I can arrange for some of the donated blood to be sent here so you can sustain yourself. You'd also have to live on the pack house but other then that as long as you don't leave town and aren't hurting people you can do whatever you wish."

"I'll need some time to think on it," I was unsure about it, on one hand I'd be fed and not have to worry about being arrested, but on the other I have to deal with these pompous pricks. But again I would have a heated room and a roof over my head. This is gonna take some inner arguing.

"I'll come back in an hour," he stated standing up as he left the basement.

Hello, hope nobody caught COVID while I was gone. Sorry about the radio silence ✨*~school~*✨ started back up.
