The Experiment

Chapter 1 Approval James POV The world has changed once, then changed again, and when everyone thought this is the final shape of the world, it changed yet again. Supernatural are a thing, everyone expected that, they could blame the aliens all they want, but it's the supernatural who ruled this world, they were in charge and humans just had to believe it and live with their new reality. Werewolves are not that different from humans, they got their beliefs in an end and in soulmates, they also got a bad one, bad apples, they are called rogues, wolves who couldn't stay in charge of their wolf side, wolves who gave up to a feral state. Some are born that way, and others are pushed into being rogues, but the thing is, rogues are sick, and as a doctor it's my job and duty to try and heal them, to find a cure for the stubborn disease, to put end to so many people suffering and hurt. My name is James Black, a doctor at Moon and howl company and I decided to start my research on ways to heal the unfortunate rogues. I belong to the alpha and owner of the company alpha Thaila Runnalf, it took me years to get her approval and funds for my search. She has only agreed after she got her own little, no one would say it out loud, but the b***h alpha is nicer ever since she found her true love and mate, the little boy made everyone's life easier and better. Now back to the research, I tried everything, I tried psychological treatment, anti-depressant, chock therapy, I tried everything the human and wolf mind would think about. Even chemotherapy to heal the sick brain, the sick cells in the body that are driving the wolves to insanity, but nothing has worked so far, until my latest discovery. The wolf brain goes through maturing phases just like the human brain, but the only difference is the body of a wolf changes depending on their brain, when a puppy is young if taught to be submissive they'd most likely turn that way, taught to be dominant and violent, their body would show signs of being more dominant, even their aura would change. A rogue wolf aura is a sick aura, one that's stuck on defense dominating mode, now if we push them back to their pre-maturing phase and teach them to be submissive, we'll be able to do a break-in and turn the rogues back to normal, or normal-ish. "So explain this again for me?" Peter the company vice-president and alpha Thaila's personal friend and cousin says looking at me confused. "We capture a rogue," I say but of course, the man had a reply to everything I said. "That would be hard," he says, I had to hold from rolling my eyes yes at him, he had an army behind him and still he acts like they were going toward this blind and alone. "We'll catch a small rogue, preferably a young one," I continue, the younger rogue would be easier to deal with, even when a born rogue, they don't reach the max of being violent until they are much older, but it'll also help with my plan. "Young and small, make her she too, girls are always smarter and would give you a better chance," Peter says, most alphas are women, they are smarter for sure. "Yes, now to the next step, we'll take her preferably into a safe environment," I continue, hospital was out of the question, it'll be too stressful for what we're trying to achieve. "Okay, the company can guarantee a safe environment," he says, nodding I continue the plan, taking notes of everything they said to me. "The next step is to inject her with enough sedative to make her docile enough for the next step," it's not the easiest part, but it has to be done. "Sedate her? Why would you do that, I thought the treatment was supposed to help her," Peter says angrily, I was losing him and losing my permission to continue his experiment. "Peter, to get to the subconscious of the girl we need her to trust us, we'll need to heal any kind of injuries she had before coming to us, that could only be done if she's sedated for the first week or so," I explained to him again. "Okay, then what?" he asks getting irritated, he doesn't want to hear the rest, this is always the worse part. "We'll be trying to connect to her subconscious, once she's healthy enough and ready for the next step we'll have to break her rogue spirit," I say, yes it gets worse before it gets better. "Break her?" he says, rogues have their own aura, they don't respect anyone, not an alpha, not a submissive, they are loners, with the fight switch turned on the whole time. "We need to break her aura to push her toward a new one, one that would include a dominant and a small pack," I say, this is the hardest part of the whole experience, the ones before are heartbroken, but this is the most critical part, to push her brain, mind, soul, and spirit back to a pack position where they'd be in a younger headspace. "And then?" he says interested again, pushing a rogue back into a pack is impossible, it's what we've been taught our whole life. "After we manage to bring her back to the pack mentality, we'll be able to work with her on a psychological and physical level. We'll monitor her vitals, enzymes, her whole body, we'll find the part in her body that caused the rogueness and fix it," I say, everyone goes rogue for a different reason, whether it's bad genetic, a big trauma, or a physical disease. "Is this plan guaranteed?" The alpha asks, it's the first time she talked since this meeting began, she looked different than she did before, alpha Thalia used to be the coldest b***h alive, then Colin came in, and he broke his way into her cold heart. But years after losing her own sister to the rogue disease, this topic is a sensitive one, it brings the worse inside her out. "Nothing is guaranteed alpha, but from what we gathered and our studies, there's an eighty percent chance, depending on the reason why the individual went rogue," I explain, all I wanted was a chance to fix one rogue, to show the word they could be healed. "You got my approval," the alpha says in her firm voice, it was a done deal finally. Chapter 2 Hunt James POV To find a rogue in the world we live in, you don't go out in the forest and hunt them, you could do that, but only real wild rogue wolves would be found there. Our world is ruled and devised by the supernatural, with a small part left for the human, a wild rogue won't do my research any good, Alpha Thalia had her eyes on a specific rogue, I knew who she would be, but I pretended not to connect the dots. Everyone doubted the real reason behind her allowing us to conduct this experiment, the rogue she has chosen, a young one, a pup of our age, has only been rogue for a couple of years now. Where would a normal teenage human hide when they are homeless, where would they hide? This rogue was similar to a young human who was kicked out of her place. She'd stay close to the last place she's been through, our instinct would say to mark the territory and keep it as ours, the abandoned buildings in the human district. A human teenager would hide there, as would a rogue who'd claim an abandoned place as theirs. Now I had to find where the young rogue girl is exactly, there are many places for her to hide in there. I could ask the local humans but not many of them would trust a wolf, none of the teenager humans would confirm nor deny seeing this specific wolf before. I had to use the company and their resources, the alpha had wolves and humans worker, people she could pay and buy information from. "Hello, Peter, I need some humans who could talk with some human runaway teenager, find, anyone who could confirm the girl's last known space," I say on the phone, everything I do has to pass through Peter, Thaila being too busy for this, but she got her best man on it. "Got it," Peter says ending the call, he too wanted this experiment to work, he wanted to save all the poor rogues, the poor souls, it'll also take their company's name up in the books of history, but most of all he wants to save her... Peter didn't take long until he could find one of those humans, it wasn't that hard, humans would do anything for money, including selling to each other. He sent me a phone number saying they'd get me the address of the girl when they have the information. To find a rogue wolf girl, it's not that hard for them, low-level gangs and human mafia still live out on the streets, the abandoned places are their headquarters, they call themselves the resistance, and they must have stumbled upon a rogue or two. I received a call three days later, the wolf we were looking for lived nearby, in an abandoned subway, she had a corner all for herself, she was one of the toughest rogues that humans has ever seen or had the pleasure to fight with, known to bite anyone who dares to get toward her territory. The human who helped us was soon dealt with, this project is a top-secret one, we couldn't risk having anyone knowing or finding anything about it, a dead human, it's nothing new, it was a gangster who died, no one would look at the dead body twice. Peter managed to gather a full team of werewolves, all armed with sedatives, we all got to the abandoned subway, in full gear, ready to walk in, ready to take over the target, it's hunting season. Peter was leading the team, saying he's the most trained one among us, and he is. Peter went in first, the location was in the back of the subway, isolated from the rest, she had a tent sent for her there, garbage littered the place, we could also smell her urine, she tried to mark her territory, a move a young wolf shouldn't have done, not unless she's an alpha. I was worried about being screwed, having to deal with an older rogue, what if the human simply pointed us to some random rogue saying they looked like the wolf we showed them and asked for. The next scenario would be, that the girl is an alpha, it would be trickier to work with an alpha than with a natural submissive, it's another addition to the challenge. "Alpha team with me, beta the other way, surround her," Peter gave the order, he was the one to take the first step, he looked inside the tent with me looking over his shoulder, I could see her inside, she was asleep, hopefully. We took another step but she moved, stirring at the voice of people being too close to her, Peter took a breath holding his hand up, telling everyone to hold still, and they did, but she was up and awake, she knew we were near. She growled as I and Peter took a step back, opening the tent, now we all could see her, she was tiny, dirty, and angry, she jumped attacking right away, we couldn't use his g*n and shoot her instead, we had to push her away without hurting her, she can't get hurt. When she tried to bite Peter's neck, and scratch his eyes out, I had to save him, I pushed her off him, and she fell down on the dirty floor, angry and growling, I have only aggravated her now. "Don't hurt her," I warn the team, one of them tried to shoot her, but the analgesic dart didn't hit her, she tried to bite the neck of the guy who tried to shoot her. She had us following her, everyone running after her, they tried to shoot her again, but she was quick on her feet, her body was so small and slippery, she could run between the smallest cracks. She had the spirit, her red eyes looked at us with hate filling them, she didn't recognize anyone, although she knew most of us, at one point at least she did. I had to do something before the girl hurt herself before she took the wrong turn or jumped off the wrong edge. If she get hurt, I was sure that the alpha would have everyone's bum for it, I did a sneak attack, cutting her off, pushing her back toward peter. I had to use the tranquillizer injection I had on me, she was looking between me and Peter, it's the angriest we have pushed her through this whole chase, when she turned her back to me, I injected her, making her howl with pain and betrayal.
