A Questionable Fate (boyxboy)

Chapter 4

I stare blankly at Nicolai. The reality just hit me that I will never see my family again. I'll never see any of my friends, or teachers, or my cat Rags. None of them will ever know what happened to me. They'll never know about Foster and Claud either. We'll just become missing persons and each of us will have a funeral and everyone will grieve. But I'll be right here the whole time. I can't do anything to stop it.

"What about my family? What will they think happened to me?" I ask him.

"We don't communicate with humans. I they trespass we kill them-plain and simple." He says mater-of-factly.

"How can that be fair? We don't even know your kind exists!"

"Actually the important humans in the world do. Like the president and some divisions of the army. We have a treaty with your kind starring that our kind and your kind are not to get in each others business an we will have peace." Nicolai gets up off the bed and puts his clothes back on.

"Nicolai...I really don't know if I can become what you want. A good Bloodrem, I mean." He seemed so powerful, and scary, and brutal, but protective to.

He turns and looks me in the eye, "You've got nothin to worry about. Once you start your change, your new instincts will teach you everything I cant." He walked back over and scooted back against the wall to sit right next to me. "Shall we begin?"

It took me a moment to realize that he wanted to do the whole injecting each others venom thing into each others bodies. I shook my head no. I was scared shitless-this was not how I imagined growing up.

"Quinn... The Alpha wants you starting your transition tonight."

"Are you related to the Alpha by any chance?" It just seemed like a good question. I didn't want to have a major purpose when it came to being a werewolf.

"Um...ya. He's my Father. The red head-Xylo, he's my half brother."

My mouth dropped. "What! So what does that mean for me if I'm suppose to become your equal?!"

"I'll be the Alpha, you'll be my Beta. My right hand man. See that was suppose to be Xylo if I didn't find my Bloodrem, so he might not like you very much." He answered.

I took a deep breath. I can't have this life.

"Let's begin, I'm getting antsy and I was not planning on spending my entire evening on making you feel better." He rolled up his sleeve on one arm then reached over and rolled up one of my sleeves.

He brought his wrist up to my mouth and did the same with mine to his mouth. He looked at me and must of seen how terrified and weirded out I was cause he started laughing. It wasn't a hard laugh, just a quiet little laugh making me feel like the odd ball.

"Here," He put his wrist to my lips, "suck on my wrist."

"What?"

"Just do it." He commanded. I parted my lips a little but felt to weird to actually do what he said.

I pushed his arm away, "I can't bite into you."

He brought his arm up again to my lips, "Close your eyes. Pretend it's a piece of steak and take a chomp."

I'm stomach started turning "Ewww." I said.

Nicolai was getting impatient. He separated my lips and put his wrists between my teeth. He wouldn't let me go until I bite him. "Come on Quinn. Just one bite, you don't have to drink the blood. Just break the skin and that's it."

I tried to shake my head no, but all he did was shove his wrist up into my teeth. He had my arm gripped and began to suck on my wrist. I rolled my eyes and said 'To hell with it.' In my head.

I bit down as hard as I could. I felt my teeth slowly break the skin and the taste of Nicolai's salty blood entered my mouth. I tried to pull away but he kept me held against the wall. I felt him bite into wrist and a horrible prickling sensation filled my arm. His venom spread through my body-at first it was sharp and prickly, then it turned to a deep burning pain in my veins.

He let go of my and I sputtered on his blood trying to spit it out. I fell to my side and laid on the bed. My veins felt like a flame was being held on them. I felt myself start shaking and I couldn't control my movements. I felt like My body was shutting down. My eyes had blacked out and the feeling in my fingertips was gone.

I felt Nicolai next to then, he was talking. Saying soft words, maybe trying to comfort me. He started taking my jacket and my shirt off. Next my pants and boxers. He just kept saying I was getting close. I felt a blanket thrown over me and my body was picked up an repositioned better on the bed.

The pain wouldn't go away, I couldn't even think. The next thing I knew my teeth jutted out with sharp ends and I cut my lip. I felt a throb in my fingers as my new claws came out as well. Then my eyes opened and everything became so vividly clear so a few seconds. I felt my inside pull inward and then snap like a runner band. My body exploded and everything went dizzy.

When my breathing finally labored, I opened my eyes to find Nicolai staring at me with a smile. "Ok so I'm a little impressed. I'm also a little delighted. I'll be even happier if your beast can fight."

His words startled me. And so did everything around him. My vision was clear an crisp an my hearing was sharper than ever. I slowly sat up, "What are talking about." I spoke in the animalistic language. I don't know how I knew it, but the words felt right when they rolled of my tongue.

"Your beast is a good looking one. You kind of look like mine, only your coloring is lighter."

I look down at my fur covered body. It was a light brown with a whitish tint to it in the light. My fur was a little longer than Nicolai's had been but my legs were probably just a long as his. I stood up and stumbled to get my balance. Nicolai was at my side in a moment and was helping me straighten my back and relax my new legs. He walked me over to a dusty mirror sitting up against a wall on the other side if the musky room.

When I saw my new form I couldn't believe my eyes. I was...a walking wolf. I had a strong form with muscles where I needed them. the only thing that frustrated me was my pointed ears. Well-only one of them was pointed. The other one just flopped down and wouldn't stand up no matter what I did.

Nicolai laughed, "Don't worry about the ears Quinn. No ones going to judge you cause of a limp ear." He laughed again. "Usually that only happens when your a pup. Who knows, maybe it will straighten when you shift more." He pushed me down and I landed on all fours. It was a lot easier to walk like this.

"Will everyone know who I am? That I was a human?" I didn't need any scary badass werewolves bully me.

"Yes. It's kind of hard to keep this a secret. I am the Alpha's son, so when everyone heard that you could potentially be my Bloodrem, they all got pretty excited."

I frowned, "You won't let them hurt me right?"

"No of course not." He said firmly. "No one is allowed to hurt you Quinn. Your their new future Beta. They're just going to have to get used to the fact that you were a human. The last time a human was someone's Bloodrem was like 50 years ago. And no human Bloodrem as ever been fated to become the packs Beta before, so your pretty lucky."

I nodded my head. I had so much to learn. "So is this whole place like this?" I motioned to the room we were in.

Nicolai laughed,"No! That would be awful! This is just were the prisoners are held." He walked me over to the big fancy door. Finally I was getting out of this disgusting room. He opened the door wide and a vision of an underground city hit me. I didn't even realize we were underground
