Rage, Hunter & Toxic - Alien Breed Box Set

Chapter 1-2

He saw me and frowned. Then his face changed into a mask of pure rage. He growled, and a cold shiver went down my spine. His two companions looked at him in shock.

“YOU!” he said in disgust, and I wondered why he obviously hated me so much. I was the one who helped him and the other Breeds get freed.

Before I could react or say anything, he was pressing me to the wall. One big hand went to my throat and I looked into a pair of very angry eyes.

“Rage!” one of the other Breeds shouted. “Dammit, Rage! Let her go!”

“You!” Rage—what a fitting name—snarled.

My heart was beating a hundred miles an hour as I looked up into his amber eyes—eyes that were not human at all.

Rage

I couldn’t believe that she of all people would dare come here to Eden—this evil, lying b***h. I had suffered so much because of her. They tortured me to within an inch of death. For a moment, I had wanted to believe that she was an angel coming into the darkness of my hell. As it turned out, she was anything but. How often had I pictured putting my hands around her neck like now and snapping her fragile bones? I hated her with a burning, fiery passion. That was why I choose Rage as my name. Because thinking of HER made me so f*****g angry. She may have looked like an angel with her golden curls, blue eyes, pale skin, and pink lips, but looks were deceiving. I could see the fear behind her beautiful eyes. I heard Sturdy shouting behind me, but I ignored him. I was focused on her. My time for revenge had finally come.

“Please,” she begged, her lips trembling. A tear rolled down her cheek and dropped onto my arm.

The scent of her fear tickled my nostrils. Even back in my cell, when I first saw her, I had noticed how sweet she had smelled. Despite my rage, I got hard. I didn’t want to desire her. It was wrong. She was a monster with the face of an angel and a body that could tempt any man to fall to his knees and worship her.

She was small. She only reached up to my chest. Unlike our Alien Breed females, this one was soft and round all over. I imagined how good it would feel to have her under me, and I hated myself for those thoughts. I growled at her as she tried to squirm out of my hold.

“Keep still!” I rasped and buried my face in her neck to breath in the scent of her soft skin.

“Rage!” came Happy’s irritated voice from next to me. “Let the female go. You are frightening her.”

“No!” I snarled. “Leave us alone!”

“Dammit, Rage!” Sergeant Blakes demanded as he joined us. “Let go of this woman! What is wrong with you? Have you had too much to drink?”

Jessie

I trembled uncontrollably. His hand was still around my throat, but the pressure was gone. I could feel his hot breath on my skin. His friends and Sergeant Blakes tried to get him to let me go, but he would not listen to them. I could feel his canines raking over my skin and I cried out in panic.

“That’s enough, Rage!” Sergeant Blakes shouted angrily. “If you don’t let go of her at once, I will have to arrest you! Let Doctor Colby go and get the f**k out of here. Go home and calm the f**k down! I don’t want to see your face in the Club for a week.”

“Come on, Rage,” one of his friends begged. “Let her go. She didn’t do anything. She is only a little female. She is no match for a guy like you, man. Come on. I walk you home.”

Rage growled and let go of me. His gaze penetrated me, making me nervous and excited at the same time. Then he turned around and followed his friends out. I took and deep breath and exhaled. Julia hugged me tight.

“I am so sorry, Doctor Colby,” Blakes apologized. “I have no idea what has gotten into him. He has never behaved like that before. Usually he is a friendly guy, and all Alien Breeds strongly disapprove of violence towards women.”

“It- it’s okay,” I said, still a bit shaken.

“I will personally escort you home,” Blakes said. “Come. I think it’s best to call it a night.”

Rage

“What the f**k is wrong with you?” Sturdy asked, irritated. “Why did you do that?”

“I know her.”

“Is she the one that-” Happy started, but my angry snarl shut him up.

“What are you two talking about?” Sturdy asked. He hadn’t been in the same institute as Happy and me.

I took my shirt of, showing Sturdy my back. He gasped when he saw the countless scars that ran all over my back.

“Holy s**t,” he murmured. “Now I know why you never take off your shirt. But what has the female got to do with it?”

“She is the reason for those scars.”

“I don’t understand. Did she do this? Or did she command it?” Sturdy asked in disbelief.

“No, but what she did was the reason they tortured me for three days until they thought me dead. I heard her. She was standing in front of my cage and laughed that I was dead. She called me a filthy animal. But I wasn’t dead. We were rescued shortly after that, and they saved me.” My thoughts went back to that day I met her.

I heard footsteps, looked up, and there she was. She looked shaken and afraid. She seemed to be an angel, coming into my dark hell to save me. But then I remembered what she really was. HUMAN! She was one of them. She was evil.

“I’m warning you,” I said with a growl. “I will break your neck if you try to take any more blood.”

She startled. Her eyes were wide with fear.

“I - I am not here to hurt you. I - I didn’t know...” she stammered.

I looked at her, taking in every detail of her appearance. Her blonde curls, the frightened blue eyes, the creamy white skin, and the pouty pink lips. Then I took in her scent. Under that sharp smell of her fear, she smelled sweet and absolutely delicious. I wished I could bury my nose in her neck and breathe her in.

“Why are you here?” I demanded. “You work for them, but I have never seen you down here before.”

“I - I am a cleaner,” she answered, pointing to a cart with cleaning supplies. “I came here - I - I thought that-”

“You thought that you wanted to take a look at an Alien Breed. I understand,” I said scornfully.

“Alien Breed?” she asked breathlessly, as if she didn’t know.

Hypocrite! As if she could work here without knowing what an Alien Breed was. Everything they were doing here was about us. Our DNA, our blood, our skills–everything!

“HUMAN!” I growled and showed her my teeth. “I hate humans. You created us only to t*****e us. But don’t worry. The time will come when we will be free. I will find you, human! And I will break your pretty little neck!”

“I don’t understand,” she whispered. “There are more like you? How many?”

“Don’t act innocent and clueless. Did they send you to try to earn my trust? So that I would breed with you?”

“B-breed?” she stuttered, acting shocked. She was a damn good actress, I had to give her that.

“You should let them know that I am not that easily fooled. I will snap your neck like I did the other women they brought into my cell.”

“I - I really had no idea. I didn’t know. Whatever it is they are doing to you here is horrible and inhumane. You must believe me that not all humans are like - like that.”

“That makes no difference!” I said with a fierce growl that startled her.

“P-please,” she stammered as I advanced forward as far as my chains allowed.

She smelled even sweeter up close. I closed my eyes to focus on her enticing scent. I could feel my blood rushing south. Angry over my body’s reaction, I opened my eyes and looked at her angrily and longingly at the same time.

“You smell good,” I said hoarsely. “They chose well. Your sweet scent - I could have fallen for it. But I didn’t.” I breathed her scent in again and growled, aroused. “I could imagine breeding with you first instead of killing you on the spot.”

Her gaze wandered over me, pausing on my mid section. Her eyes widened, and I couldn’t help but feel a bit of male pride over my very large and obviously ready-to-go equipment.

“My body might want you, human,” I growled darkly. “But it doesn’t mean that I don’t detest you. I would breed with you, but I would still kill you afterwards! Do you really want to die for them?”

“I - I am so sorry,” she whispered.

She sounded so genuine that I began to doubt my earlier assessment of her. But then she took out that small device that all humans here carried with them to communicate with each other or capture images with—images of me. I snarled furiously, baring my teeth.

“I know you have no reason to trust me, but I will find a way to get you out of here. I promise!”

She glanced at me apologetically and turned around to flee. I let out an angry roar and started to throw a fit in my cell until the guards came and attacked me with tasers until I passed out.

Two days later, two physicians came with six guards to my cell. Since the attack with the tasers, I had not had anything to eat or drink. They must have thought me weak enough that six guards could handle me. Their mistake soon became very clear when I killed three of them before I went down with three hits of tranquilliser.

When I came to, I was chained up, face to the wall. A physician and two nurses came into my cell, followed by one of the most brutal guards.

“You really are a feral beast like she said,” the doctor said. “She has commanded your death, but I think it wouldn’t be right to just kill you. No! You will suffer for what you’ve done to the poor guards before I allow you to die. I always thought that you were not worth being kept alive. You are a monster, worse than the others. You even killed the f*****g w****s we gave you. You wouldn’t breed with your own women, but at least you didn’t kill them. But any human female—they were just not good enough for you, huh? You think you are something better? Now, that is where you are wrong. We are superior. We are your creators. You would be nothing without us.”

“I would rather die than touch any of your women,” I snarled. “And I did warn you that I would kill them, but you shoved them into my cell anyway. You delivered them to me, so who is the real monster here? You sacrificed those women in the hopes of gaining my interest so that I would make you some nice little Alien Breed babies.” I snorted.

“Gordon,” the doctor said in a cold voice. The guard came closer.

“Sir.”

“He is all yours. But I want him to die slow. Don’t kill him to fast. Let him suffer for at least two or three days. I want him to beg for his death!”

I gritted my teeth. This guard was one of the worst. Some just did their job, but this asshole enjoyed making us suffer. I tried to prepare myself for what was to come. I didn’t want to give them the satisfaction of making me scream or beg. No! I would stay strong and die quietly. It was just a shame that I would die before I could get my hands around the neck of that little blonde b***h who took my image.

“Rage? Rage, man, are you alright?” Happy’s voice came through the fog of my memories.

“Yeah,” I answered.

I hadn’t thought back to that horrible experience for a long time, but the dreaded female had brought up all those memories. Why did she have to come here, of all places? What was her game play?

Sturdy slapped my back.

“Come on, man. I think you’ve had enough for today.”

Happy and Sturdy walked me home. I opened my door and turned around to my friends.

“See you tomorrow.”

“Rage,” Sturdy said carefully. He looked at me while Happy hung his head and stared at the ground. “We all have our demons, and I totally understand, but you can’t attack a female. That’s not what we do. It isn’t right. Promise me that you will stay away from her.”
