Alpha's Blind Luna novel Chapter 74

It had been surprising quiet. I guessed three weeks had passed. Hector’s beard now being my indicator of time passing. At one point, he begged one of the lab coats to shave it off but they didn’t do anything. Once a week I got my injections and Hector received a meal that I was thankful I didn’t have to eat.

Despite that, somehow, Hector looked bigger, gaining more muscle and height. I wondered if it was because of our bond or it was because the power I imparted into him. Either way, the guards gave him a more wary eye and it made me laugh. For the most part, they kept our chains slack, allowing us to be together. The only time was the meal time or if they were hauling me away for more additions.

Yesterday had been one and I slept most of the rest of the day. After that, they had actually pulled the chains tight and we were stuck apart. It was wearing on Hector and I wondered how close we were to his heat. His replies were more growls than anything.

The sound of scrapping reverberated in the room and a lab coat, one of my usual prodders slipped in. It wasn’t her usual walk or strut in, nor did she have any guards with her. The door was left slightly ajar as she walked in, giving Hector a side glance.

Adjusting her glasses, she stepped up to me and put her lips to my ears. “I asked for them to hold you up so I could speak to you.”

My eyes narrowed but I didn’t move.

“Oran will be back in two weeks. But you can’t stay here. Not anymore. You need to leave.”

Widening my eyes, I did turn my head to see her.

“Tomorrow is my day off and I will be off campus. I will leave my key card, jacket, and wallet for you. I’ll leave the door open but you need to get out of those.” As she brushed the chains, my fingers wrapped around something she placed in my hands.

“Why now? Why help us now?” I whispered, Hector wasn’t even paying attention to us but I kept my voice low.

She sighed. “Even I have my moral limitations. You’re pregnant. If any of the other scientist found out they would tell Master Oran right away. But I know…” She paused for a second. “He wouldn’t let you leave. Allow them to grow before experimenting on them. Already it shouldn’t have happened with as much vampire you are now which made lead to him breeding you more. But he would take them all. Children…babies…are my line.”

My eyes widened and the sheer panic that now coursed through my veins alerted even Hector.

“Get away from her!” He growled, completely mistaking the situation.

“Thank you. We’ll take it. Don’t be here though. I intend on leveling this place as we leave.”

She nodded and scurried out of the room. Ten minutes later, our chains loosened and I fell to the floor on my knees. I didn’t move though, as I tried to formulate cohesive thoughts. Opening up my hand, I inspected the lighter sized object. Pressing the button I jumped as a small red laser burst out of it. Well, that would cut the silver. I held it tight in my hand.

“Auri, come here, now.”

I smiled and put the laser in the crevice of the wall before going over to Hector. I climbed into his lap and cuddled up against him. He brushed his chin against my head and I giggled.

“I want this beard fucking gone. It’s driving me insane.”

Pulling his head down slightly, I gave him a soft kiss. “Calm down, I’m here.”

Inhaling deeply, his forehead fell to my shoulder. “Why do I get so riled up? Bryan wasn’t like this with Nicole. Logan and you spent loads of time apart.”

“That didn’t make it easy.”

He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me tight to him. “But insufferable? I feel as though I’m on edge all the time. Like I’m a ticking time bomb. What am I, a teenager?”

Laughing, I shook my head. “It might just been getting close to your heat. Our bond is…strong. Maybe because of our relationship and because of the power that’s been filtering through us but it might effect it in different ways. I honestly don’t know.”

He hummed again and nuzzled into my shoulder. “I don’t want to be away from you.”

Smiling, I leaned my head against him, I nodded. “Same, Hector. I feel the same.”

-

We awoke to our chains being pulled. I panicked for a moment, scrambling off Hector and grabbing the laser in my right hand before letting the slack tighten and pull me up. Hector was thrashing against his. His eyes were dark. He was maybe two or three days away from his heat. I’d heard about this being an issue but never had I seen it happen.

The door opened and my favorite asshat guard Chet walked in. He had a twenty-watt grin on his face. I had no doubt this was going to end badly.
