Surreptitious Alliance: Marked by My Alien Slave

Morgan pov.

In the daylight the giant man looks a lot more eerie than he did in the dark. His wings look broken, having holes in places I don't think they should along with the jagged edges. They're bigger than Isa's and that's saying a lot and I wonder if it's a side effect of being a hybrid or the experiments that were done on him. He has dark brown hair that's been cut down to a buzz and it makes him look harsher than he already does with his sharp jaw and high cheek bones. His eyes are what catches my attention the most though. They're no longer glowing green but hold a more honey tone to them now. It's still eerie but it's not mutant looking.

"What are you doing here?" I ask, knowing Sinclair couldn't have found us. Neither she nor her hackers are smart enough to find us at this point. Not even with the rest portaling in. I found code in Rain's bracelet that could have only come from their cloaking and used it against them, with some minor changes.

"I've been hanging out in the woods for the last twenty-four hours so you can have an attitude with me?" Ragna sneers. His wings pulling into his body as his feet find the ground and it's honestly impressive how he folds them so tight against his back they disappear. "I don't think so missy. We're going to have a conversation." He demands and I roll my eyes.

"I'm not having a conversation with you. You broke my ribs." I accuse and he looks at Rain like he thinks I'm stupid.

"I saved your fucken life, cupcake. I saved your boyfriend's life too." My eyes widen in disbelief as anger floods my body.

"You left him to die!"

"I knew you would find him!" He screams, coming a little too close for comfort. Rain steps in between us, having been silent the whole time I've been talking to this humanoid who doesn't seem so intent on killing us now. "I'm not going to hurt her you idiot. Why would I hurt her when I helped her find you?" No, he's not going to hurt either of us. At least not for now.

"Why are you here? How are you here?" I hadn't completely wrapped my mind around the fact that Ragna exists, much less that I am one of them, something like them and he's here. Despite all my codes and evasions, he's standing in front of us and if he can find us that means Sinclair can as well.

"He's a beast man is he not?" The humanoid asks and I smirk, a little impressed by his simple logic.

"So, you came where you knew it would be too obvious to go looking." Joy sparks in his eyes and he looks at me like he's proud.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

"I knew you were smart, but you need to get out of here now. They track me and the moment I go back empty handed they're going to know something is up." I stare at the man in front of me, knowing he's not doing any of this to keep me safe. He's doing this for his own freedom.

"You're defective." I mutter and he snarls at the word. "Sore spot, okay." I shrug. "It's true though. It's why you're here, risking your life to gain your freedom. They're going to kill you, and you know it. Unless you find a way to stop them, and you figure what? The enemy of your enemy is your friend?"

"You're smarter than they ever gave you credit for. Yes, they're going to kill me along with the first batch of hybrids they successfully tested on. Whatever they have now, it's stronger than anything I've ever seen. They can't release the new test subjects unless they want to risk exposing themselves." His left eye twitches and I don't even want to know what's running though his mind that makes his eyes start to glow green again.

"They don't have the space." I fill in the blanks. As big as the undeveloped space in the Bio-Glaze is, it's not big enough to run mass experiments without everyone questioning what's going on. They've managed to hide whatever they've been doing up until now but judging by what Ragna can do, they're going to need a whole lot more space to do whatever next stage of their twisted life ideals will bring them.

"You're being a little hard ass, according to Sinclair." I narrow my eyes at Ragna.

"You sure do know a lot about Sinclair." His eyes glow bright green, but he doesn't move, doesn't lash out, just stands there and watches me. "If we're going to work together, you're going to have to be honest with me." I have no idea if working with the hybrid that's been under Sinclair's control is a good idea. For all I know this is some kind of game she's playing and if that's so I'm playing right into her hand. Not that there's much to be done about that now. "I don't think we trust each other enough for that kind of honesty." He says and Rain scoffs.

"We have to leave. They're still waiting for us and if what he says is true, we're going to have to find another place to keep you safe." I look up at the grey-eyed wolf standing next to me and my heart clenches. How can he still be concerned for me when he was the one captured? I shake myself out of whatever this feeling is blooming in my chest and look back at Ragna.

"If you're honest about helping us you'll find us again." I have no idea where we're going to go but wherever it is, this hybrid was smart enough to find us this time and I've come to learn that people shouldn't be underestimated. "You can bet on it." He disappears in front of my eyes, no portal opened, just gone and I know it must be the Fairie side to him.

"We're in trouble, aren't we?" Rain asks and I nod.

"More than we think."
