He had to knock me out to make me submit after I fought against him.
Regaining my consciousness back, I found myself inside the cage, my ankles and wrists bound by heavy shackles like a wild animal. At least I still had the dress on and wasn't moving around like a damn caveman.
"Was it not enough to abduct me?" I demanded avoiding his eyes for the threat he had made earlier on. "Why don't you just kill me and get it over with?"

He laughed. Alpha just...laughed.
My gaze was drawn to him as he sat there facing my cage. "Kill you? Why would I give you such mercy? Don't you think that'd be an easy way out? No, Luna. I want you to suffer as much- no, more than we did. I'll make you wish you never met us, never took an interest in King. And-"

"I was a child!" I screamed grabbing the cold bars of the cage.

Alpha grinned maniacally as he got off his seat. He squatted until we were leveled. "A child? How nice to blame it all on your age. At nine years, one can tell right from wrong, Luna," he whispered cupping my face with both of his hands and angling me to face him. "But if you want to blame other things than yourself, then let me ask you...if I-" He paused and moved his lips down to mine until they brushed. "Let's say I force myself on you and blame it on my anger, will I be held accountable?"

A heavy pin dropped in my stomach, piercing everything in its way. I tried jerking away from this monster but his hold on my face was firm.
"If I were to cut off your arm, leg, or pull out your nails one by one and blame it on rage, would you hold me accountable?"

I had no answer. If I said yes, my statement would be invalid. And if I said no, he might just do those things to me.
Alpha laughed moving back without releasing my face.
"This is the room you'll be sleeping in when I want to play with you. I don't care what the others do to you as long as they don't kill you. I cannot guarantee whether your lose hole will be able to handle Stephano, but that is your business to figure out.
"But I'm sure it's gotten used to being fucked and grown loose to accommodate all sizes, right?" He mocked me with a smile on him.

"I swear, if I ever have the chance, I'll make you all pay for this."

"But Luna, we already have paid the price."

I watched him walk towards the glass cabinet on the wall and open it. Humming to himself, he reached in and took out a small red bottle along with a syringe and a needle. "Ah, here's the special gift your mother prepared for you. How nice it must have been to have a loving mother, don't you agree?" He was assembling the syringe and needle. "I've never known of any parental love so I wouldn't know what it feels like. But from what she did for you, she taught me just how far love can go. And it doesn't matter if the way one is loved is morally acceptable or not as long as it feels like love."

He drew out the red liquid into the syringe while pushing the one-sided conversation.
"If someone else loved you immorally, would you reject them?"

Silence.

Alpha threw his gaze at me, bringing the syringe that was quarter full to my sight. "Do you know what this is?"

Silence.
How would I know what drug he planned on using on me would be? I was never much of a genius to begin with.
"This is called GeneX-9. A drug that was heavily invested by Mommy dearest. It alters the genes and could make a human a living abomination. And yet, she tested it on us before it was approved by the organization."

More pins continued dropping in my stomach.
Was he going to... He wouldn't, right?

But I was wrong. So fucking wrong.
"Even though it was banned worldwide, of course, we have some saved up for special occasions like this."

Grinning, Alpha reached inside the cage to grab my arm but I moved away.
"Come on, Luna. Don't make this more difficult than it should. You'll only get hurt without changing the outcome."

"I'd rather you fuck me than use whatever this is, on me."

"But Luna, I already told you, I hate every part of you. The thought of touching you intimately makes me want to throw up. So how can I fuck you?"

Fair enough.
"Then...then...let your brothers punish me. Don't use this-"

He unexpectedly shoved his free hand inside the cage and grasped my arm. Before I could react to save myself, Alpha brought the syringe and shoved the needle in my flesh without caring if he had injected the right spot.
"Stop!” I screamed, but it was too late.
Alpha emptied the content inside my body before tossing away the now-empty syringe. 

"Easy, right?"

I rubbed my arm profusely until it turned red. Nothing happened.
There was no pain or numbness as I expected. "What now? Do you want to turn me into some bloodthirsty monster?"

Laughing, Alpha answered, "This is not a supernatural movie, Luna. Just think of the drug as an advanced type of steroid. They won't kill you, but they'll change you."

"No! Take it out. Please take it out. I'll be your pet or whatever you want of me. Please, please don't do this," I begged, feeling extremely desperate for the first time in a long time.
Thinking of my body changing, my beauty fading, and my skin turning broke all the strong pillars I had been surviving all these years.

"An antidote. You must have an antidote. Please, I beg you, Alpha."

He responded to my pleas with a thunderous laugh that made his shoulders quake. "Aaaah!" he groaned delighted. "This feels so good. I wish that woman was here to hear her daughter begging with no shame. She never once pleaded for mercy as we tortured her. What a prideful woman."

"What...?"
The tears in my eyes froze as I stared at Alpha's unhinged expression.

"Oh! You didn't know?"

"What, what are you talking about? When did you torture h-"

"Tsk! This is no fun."
He turned his back on me. "See you tomorrow, Luna."

"Stop! Come back here! Tell me what you-"
He switched off the lights and frightening darkness developed every inch of the windowless room.

"You chose to stay hungry, so do that until morning."

"ALPHA!"
*Bang* He shut the door, locking me in the man-eating darkness.

'Breathe. Breathe.' I reminded myself to keep my body alive. But he had already wrecked my mind from the vague information he had spilled. They had tortured her? When? How?
The last memory I had of that woman was so disturbing that it had had my mental health collapse. I had tried so damn hard to bury it under the layers of time, but Alpha had managed to unearth it with just a few words.

I hugged myself as I stared into nothingness my heart void and my mind overflowing.
No. I would not let myself fall into depression again. I'd rather they do away with me completely so I could join my evil mother in hell and burn with her if I was a sinner like she was.
