My alien mate (Alien planet , #1)

Hanna POV -General Pain

When I wake up the back of my head was throbbing with pain. I couldn't remember what happened. And I was confused, how did I even get here. And so many smells were bombarding from everywhere. I groaned with pain and wanted to bury my face in my pillow and sleep until all this is gone away. Except there was no pillow. Where is my pillow? And my bed feels different from usual. I try to sit but my head heats even worse and I get dizzy so I breath through my mouth and slowly sit up and look around. I am shocked, this is not my room, this is a small cell, with only one tiny bed. No furniture except the bed. In a corner a sink and a toilet.

I had no clothes on only an old blanket covered me.

How did I get here? I tried to talk to Artemisia but she was... grieving? And I remembered everything. I cry, for my mom, my dad, my boyfriend, and for my pack. I cry for hours until I pass out from exhaustion.

I wake up later noticing I am not alone anymore. On a chair, in the middle of the cell, a man stood, with his legs crossed, arms resting on his legs. He was looking at me and his look gave me chills. I shivered and I gathered the blanket around me. He was completely bald, his eyes were an ice blue, and when he looked at me I knew he was a cold-blooded killer that had no mercy whatsoever for anyone. On the left corner of his mouth, there was a scar, curved upwards giving the impression that he was smiling with only his left part of his mouth. And his left corner of the mouth would twitch from time to time. He was dressed simply, in a gray costume, and I could see the collar of a white shirt.

-Good morning, my dear. You are finally awake, he tells me and smiles at me.

But his smile never reaches his eyes. I shiver with fear because his man radiates fear.

I try to speak but my throat won't work. It was dry and raw from crying. I shallow and finally manage to ask.

-Who are you? but my voice comes out more hoarse than I want to.

-You disappoint me, Hanna. I thought that all mysticals out there knew and feared me.

And I knew who he was even before he told me. Humans have Boogie Man to scare kids,mysticals have him, General Pain. He was feared by all mysticals because his hatred was legendary.

-General Pain, I say in his place.

He nods, contentment on his face.

-How do you know my name? I ask him.

-Tsk, tsk, I thought you figured it out by now. She always told me you were smart but you don't seem that smart to me.

She? Who the hell is she? I look at him and I the look of anticipation on his face, waiting for me to figure out who she was. I start thinking. This person knew me, she must have been part of the pack. But it was impossible. But how else did they knew where we were. And then it hit me. I knew who she was and I could not believe it. My best friend betrayed us.

-Melissa, I whisper, not wanting to believe.

-I see you finally understand. It is interesting to always see what one will do for family.

I wanted him to go away, to leave me alone but I had to know what he was planning to do with me.

-You killed my pack because we hid from the UGE? Why did you keep me alive?

- I killed your pack to make an example, that we will always find you. And I have a wonderful plan with you, my dear

And he flashed me a smile.

-About fifteen years ago we contacted and made alliances with aliens.

I nodded because I knew this, everyone knew about this.

-I thought we are technologically advanced until I met the aliens. We need better space ships, weapons, and minerals that are not on Earth in case of a war with other aliens. Guess what they want in exchange?

I swallow hard afraid to even think.

-They want slaves. And we are not going to sell humans. But your kind is perfect for this.

-Am I going to be sold?

-Of course, and I expect we obtain a lot for you because you are special.

And with that, he leaves. Someone brings me later some porridge to eat but I don't rise from the bed.

The first two days I cry, the I am numbed. In the end, comes the rage. I am utterly furious with Melissa, Pain, and everyone that is part of the UGE. And with the aliens, let's not forget them. And utterly furiously with Artemisia because she won't talk to me.

I am kept within the UGE for about three months but I give them hell. I scream, kick, spit, trash, throw, anything, and they had to put up with it because I was goods and goods can't be damaged.

The day the aliens come I put us in a big fight. They have to drag me out of the cell.

-Gets your hands off of me, I yelled and tried to bite them.

But they laugh and drag me anyways. I am dragged all the way to the alien ship, which was outside the facilities I was kept in. More mysticals were present, and I knew them from the facilities. We were all going to be sold to what looked like alien pirates. There was no way I would go into that ship knowing I will be a slave all my life.

In a moment of negligence, I run but I am quickly caught up and a needle pierces my throat. I feel sleepy immediately.

-You f*****g bastard, you drugged me, I say before I fell asleep.
