Chapter 15: Feral Lust

The first thing Adam wanted to do was a scan. I was aware of what was happening to me and so did he, because this was not the first time going through this "natural event".

"I was hoping this time we could catch the early signs, since I have been working on a way to stop it."

I must admit my cheeks were a bit pink in embarrassment as he talked. You see, the downside of being an "enhanced" feral was that during mating season I was not the one to be around. The first time this happened Adam sedated me until the worst of its effects were over, the second time he had to lock me in a cell in Sanctuary because the feral in me wanted a mate. It was so painful to go through that and he promised me that next time it wouldn't be as bad.

Adam sighed as he looked at the results, "I should have caught this earlier, when Brennan woke up in your sleeping bag."

I looked at him surprised, "you know about that!...Wait that was my fault?"

Now I felt kind of bad because I had blamed him for the whole thing, as well as getting him and Shalimar into a big fight.

Adam nodded, "well now it makes sense, he must have been picking up on the pheromones you were sending out."

"Oh...right...those," I whispered and looked over at him and took in his scent.

When he looked up I turned away quickly and went to sit up, he quickly told me to stay lying down.

"Alright...alright, sorry. Just a little antsy alright?" he frowned at me and scratched his neck in thought as he began to pace the lab. "Just sedate me, put me in the cell," I suggested but he rejected it.

An hour passed, Adam was on the phone a few times and going through different files. He was impossible to talk to so I fell asleep for a few minutes. When I woke up I found my arms and legs bound in cuffs to the lab chair.

"Whoa! What's this about?" I demanded.

Adam gave a strange look, "you don't remember hitting me on the head and trying to leave?"

My head shook an honest no and I growled frustrated even more about what was going on, "you said you would fix this! Just let me go," I twisted around feeling my body tingle all over. My eyes flashed in heat, "let me go now!"

He simply repeated no and tried to get back to this work.

"Then why can't you let me go?"

Adam took a seat giving up for a moment, "If I let you go…and you get pregnant there is a 60% chance you have a litter of puppies instead of a child. I was on the phone with a specialist in ferals and he gave me that information. That it depends on..."

I cut in, "EW! NO Adam that's fucking disgusting! There is no way in Hell I'm letting another animal within ten feet of me!" I shook my head in disgust.

"Well even so…because of your DNA there is a 60% chance and there also could be complications as well."

Now I was angered, "why are you telling me this now? Are you saying I might not ever be able to have children?"

I lifted up on my arms and legs and managed to loosen the cuffs. I smiled then and managed to break free of all of them and ran as fast I could out of the lab.

I headed to the hanger and started up the helix. When things were set I pushed the button to open the door, but nothing happened.

"ADAM!" I growled and turned around seeing him standing there outside the helix. I stomped my way out, "Open this door right now! Or I'll rip you to pieces!"

My threats seemed to mean little to him, but I wasn't giving up without a fight. Jumping up I pushed him back, pinning him down on the ground. With my claws coming out I tore the shirt from his body. There was no control anymore. The feral was now enjoying the feeling of dominance it had over Adam. I started shredding my clothes and that's when he realized he wasn't dealing with a straight thinking in control feral.

Using my claws I tried tearing off his pants, his scent was so heavy I just wanted him. But after making a move to get lower Adam fought back and I took off stumbling for a place to hide. The feral didn't move as gracefully on two legs and I stumbled over a small low to the ground table. There had to be a way out of this place, which was my goal. I howled for help in hopes of getting some response, but only heard Adam over an intercom trying to coax me into taking back control. Growling back I started to crawl to the lab where his scent was coming from. Suddenly I felt like I had hit a wall, in fact it was a force field wall Adam put up that trapped me in a box, I was now defeated.

I sat down and started whining, howling some more in need of freedom. Then I was shocked to see Shalimar come into Sanctuary helping Lexa walk to the lab while the two guys were close behind.

"Jesse!" I called out, "help me out, Adam has lost it! He locked me up in here and won't let me go."

To my advantage Adam was so busy treating Lexa for something that my plea worked and the barrier was gone after Jesse put in the password. Before they could ask about my lack of clothing I pinned Jesse down to the ground licking his neck to get a taste of him. But suddenly I was on the floor as Jesse phased and rolled away from me.

Confused and disappointed I turned to Brennan. My charms seemed to have worked on him back in the cave, so again I used my abilities of attraction. I got up and carefully walked to him licking my lips. He received me with open arms and a kiss; I smiled against his lips and heard Shalimar come out of the lab. She wasn't too happy and started yelling at Jesse that Adam had told them to stay away from me.

"Come on lets go somewhere a little more private," I suggested to him while nuzzling his neck.

Shalimar moved quickly to block our path, to my surprise Brennan shocked her, sending her backwards. Jesse went to help her and we made our escape to his room.

Locking the door it seemed sure they wouldn't be able to disturb us. As I walked back I found him already undressed and lying on the bed.

"Come here baby and lay down with me."

I laughed and crawled up the bed, kissing my way up his perfectly toned body. The urge was so strong that it seemed to be affecting him as well. He rolled us over and his eyes seemed darker.

"Not much time," I whispered hearing the two others coming to the locked door.

The feeling was incredible, but short lived. Jesse phased himself and Shalimar into Brennan's room. Shalimar fought in vain to separate us, but at this point I was the stronger feral. I growled at her in warning and that quickly changed into a howl as we both reached our climax.

Looking down at him I smiled then my expression turned to shock feeling something sharp hit me in the back. My eyes got heavy but I saw a dart hit Brennan as well. Things went black and I fell on top of him.

When I woke up I was instantly uncomfortable.

"Brennan….where's Brennan?" I mumbled.

"I sent him and Shalimar far away," Adam said moving toward me.

When I opened my eyes I realized what Adam had done…I was chained and all evidence of the passion Brennan and I shared earlier was sucked and cleaned out by machine.

"Noooo! Why! Adam why!" I screamed and cried feeling so empty.

"Calm down, you know why I did this…There is too much risk involved and Brennan is not your mate, Shalimar is devastated from what you've done to him."

I sighed, "I couldn't help it! I didn't really mean to do that to him…I just lost it."

Adam nodded, "I know, it's my fault. I should have done more to prevent this. I'm going to place you in your play area for now and I'll bring you some dinner. That seems to be the safest place for you right now."

I promised to stay on my best behavior and let Adam escort me to the play area that was mine. Adam had built it a few months ago as a birthday gift; it had toys, a nice dog bed and everything else a canine could need. The play area was a great place I could retreat to and change to be alone without needing to leave Sanctuary and risk getting hurt.

Now it seemed like it was going to be my prison. When he locked me in and left I just sat down and stared at my dog house; I wanted a family and Adam took that chance away from me.

An hour later Adam finally returned, but was carrying something and it wasn't dinner. Taking a deep breath in my nose detected a canine scent, a female. I got up onto my four legs and tilted my head at Adam. He placed the puppy into my playroom and locked the door quickly. Slowly I approached her, smelling her…she wasn't very old and wanted her mother. When I looked at Adam I understood that he was trying to make it up to me and this puppy would be mine to raise.

The puppy opened its eyes and started smelling me. I smiled as she called me mommy and laid down against me. Lying down next to her I started licking her, "my Lucy."

We snuggled some as Lucy asked me lots of questions once she got comfortable. Adam brought us some food and I attempted to explain what I was to her, since she didn't really understand what I was telling her…I decided to show her my change. It didn't really go well and she became afraid of me. Disappointed I changed back to not scare her anymore and laid down trying to go to sleep. My mind still wanted Brennan, the feel of his skin against mine and to fix what Adam had taken away from me, I didn't care about the risks anymore. Opening an eye I smiled feeling Lucy had curled up next to me to sleep, and then I felt calm enough to sleep.

My ears picked up the sound someone arriving at Sanctuary. Yawning I opened my eyes and carefully got up to not wake up Lucy as I investigated.

"Brennan!" I barked. Quickly I changed back before he came into view, "get me outta here…Adam is holding me here."

He started charging up, "I know, I came back as soon I could."

A smile came across my face, a little impressed by the longevity of the effect I had on him.

Once the door was open I rushed out and hugged him, "I missed you….and couldn't stop thinking about you."

We shared a long kiss before I heard Adam rushing to where we were.

"Take me out of here," I whispered to him and he took my hand as we ran towards the hanger. "Shit…."

I heard the sound of shot from behind me, "get down!" I said to him but he instead turned around to face me and got shot in the chest once again by a tranquilizer dart.

"NOOOO!" I cried out and flashed my eyes turning around to see Adam there holding the gun at me. "You fucking jerk! Why don't you just let us go!" I growled and jumped up onto a small table before flying at him.

I knew he could just shoot me and it would be all over but I was determined to get to him before he'd have a chance to fire. And I did.
