Bounty of Freedom

Chapter 5: Meeting Alpha

Derek was still holding Travis the next morning. The wounds on Travis's hands had dried up blood on them. Both men were still sleeping as the sun peaked through the alleyway. Heavy footsteps approached the two men. They were soon to their feet, both of them immediately waking up. They attempted to get out of the grasps of their captors. 

"Stop struggling," a low voice rasped. "Or someone will get hurt." 

Derek swallowed nervously. The events from the day before came back to him and he looked over at Travis, who was pale from blood loss and the man raping him. Travis looked up to meet Derek's gaze. 

"Alpha is expecting you two," the voice continued. "So you two better be on your best behavior in front of them." 

Both men nodded as they are taken to a black van. The captors put the two of them in the back. They hogtied their hands together so they wouldn't attempt to escape. They made the bonds tight enough to the point where blood was drawn from both Derek and Travis's wrists.

"No escaping, you two," one of the captors snarled. "Or I will hurt you both a lot." 

They nod as the door is shut and locked. Both men looked down at the floor. The driver side door opened and closed. The sound of an engine turning over was heard from the front of the van. The van lurched forward, causing Derek and Travis to fall on the floor awkwardly. They groan in pain as they attempt to get up. 

Half an hour later, the van came to a screeching halt. The same heavy footsteps were heard approaching the back of the van. The door was unlocked and swung open. Derek and Travis looked up at their captors, squinting from the sun being shined in their eyes. They are pulled out of the back of the van, the door being slammed closed. 

"Walk." 

Both men walked towards the entrance to a fence. Chains held the entrance closed. They stopped in front of the entrance. The men went to the entrance and unraveled the chains, opening the door. They pushed Travis and Derek inside, shutting the entrance behind them. They each grabbed Derek and Travis by the arms and walked them. 

The area in which the four men were in was covered in trash and clothing. There was a pungent smell of rotting flesh and human waste. Derek went pale when he inhaled the smell, while Travis gagged in disgust. As they walked down the filth filled area, it began to open up, revealing a horrible sight. 

There were people of all ages against the wall. They all looked seriously malnourished and dehydrated. Some may have questionable diseases or infections. They were covered in dirt and blood. Many also had bloodshot eyes from drug usage. 

Derek and Travis were brought inside an old abandoned apartment building. They were soon in the lobby area, which was covered in cobwebs, cockroaches, and other disturbing things. They are kicked to the knees, their hands still hogtied in front of them. They looked up to see a woman sitting in front of them. The woman wore loose fitting clothes that exposed her breasts and belly. She had shoulder length brown hair and dark brown eyes. 

"Alpha, les nouveaux arrivants sont ici, comme tu l'as demandé," (Alpha, the new arrivals are here, like you instructed.) one of the captors said. 

Alpha waved them away, the two of them stomping away. Alpha approached Derek and Travis, sitting cross-legged in front of them. 

"Derek Caradine and Travis Allmon," the woman crooned. "How lovely for you two to join us." 

Both men were silent. They just stared blankly at her. 

"Men of few words, I see," she said, moving closer to Travis. 

Travis moved back in fear. He did not trust her because he was scared that she was going to hurt him. 

"Hey," Alpha said, grabbing him by the hogtie and dragging him into her lap. "It's okay. I'm not going to hurt you." 

She licked her lips and then licked up his chest. Travis shuddered in fear. Alpha moaned in ecstasy as she tasted Travis's skin. 

"So delicious," she crooned. "And downright sexy." 

"Leave him alone," Derek snarled. "He's been through enough already." 

"Feisty one, huh?" Alpha asked, stroking Travis's bare chest. "You'll get your turn later this evening. But for now." 

She reached over and pulled two syringes out. They were filled with an orange liquid. 

"Know what this is?" she asked the two men. 

"Heroin," Travis said shakily. 

"That's right," Alpha sang as she stuck the needle into Travis's arm. 

Travis gasped in pain as she dispensed the drug into his system. She put him on the wall and made her way to Derek. Derek tried to stand up but she didn't let him. She ripped off the hogtie on his wrists, leaving deep cuts. He cried out in pain as she manhandled him, pulling off his jacket and pulling up his sleeve. She stuck the needle in his arm, dispensing the drug into his veins. Derek cried out in pain  She pushed him on the wall opposite Travis. 

"I'll wait for the drug to run its course," Alpha said, stroking Derek's face. "Then we'll have some fun together, you and me." 

She licked his cheek and walked off, her hips swaying. Both men soon began to feel sick. Travis eventually passed out from the effects of heroin. Derek gagged as he began to feel very nauseous. He vomited before passing out as well.
