From Prisoner to Primordial

CHAPTER 4 - Punishment: Part 2

***CW: NSFW: Violence and castration

*Kane’s P.O.V.*

    After all the test results came back, I mind linked my dad to let him know about the r**e kit and the DNA matches. The pap smear results were normal, thankfully. Her bloodwork showed she was severely anemic, her serum levels of every vitamin and mineral was low, she was severely underweight and malnourished, and she had two broken right ribs and three broken left ribs, a rehealed broken left arm, rehealed fractured leg in two spots each, a prior concussion, a broken nose, a rehealed jaw, and bruises in various stages of healing. She also had 91 bite marks.

    “Nova, future Alpha Kane, I want to give you a serum that should help boost your immune and healing response. It’s something I learned from a good friend of mine. I also want to start you on a light diet with small portions every 3 hours while you’re awake during the day. You will stay in this hospital room with four guards posted outside the door. Only a select few people will be allowed in to see you.” 

    She nodded so he continued. “I’m going to put every order in from now until next week, that way it can be transferred with you and your attending physician can continue it from there.”

    “I don’t want anyone else. I want you as my doctor,” she pleaded.

    “Because of my crimes, I don’t know if that will be possible. But I will ask.”

    Nova nodded.

    “The serum?”

    Nova looked to me. “I know what serum he’s talking about, it’s safe and effective. It’s created by a light witch,” I told her, and her eyes widened but she recovered quickly before turning to Dr. Viotto and nodding.

    He reached to a nearby tray and grabbed a syringe. He cleaned of the IV port that was now in place while she received fluids and then cleaned the syringe tip before attaching it to the port. He injected the serum into the IV, “This may make your injuries painful, but you’re also on a morphine drip to keep morphine in your system at all times. The morphine may make you sleepy, and combined with this serum, it has a more intense effect.”

    Nova nodded her head slowly, clearly becoming drowsy already. She lay down in the bed and pulled me to her. “Cuddles,” she said softly, and I couldn’t help but fall even more in love. I climbed into bed with her gently, laying behind her. She rolled over and curled into me, and I wrapped my arms around her protectively.

    “Mmmmm…” she mumbled. “Mate,” was her last whispered word before she fell asleep. My heart thumped in my chest, and I began to feel hope that she would accept me despite everything she’d suffered through. I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep with her.

    A few hours passed and I was being shaken awake. “Mate,” came a whispered voice, and that was all it took to wake me up instantly.

    “Yes, angel – I mean Nova?”

    She paused, caught off-guard. “Angel?” she asked, smiling.

    “Yes, earlier, I thought about you being my personal Angel sent from Heaven. To be with me here on Earth.”

    Her smile grew. “I remember you from the prison. You would talk to me. And that guard, Lucy. You mainly communicated to your sister through mind link. How did you escape?”

    “That’s a long story. The short version is Lucy and two of the guards helped us on the night of the full moon after my sister gained her wolf. She shot one other who they called the boss, and who she called the head boss, killing both. Every prisoner escaped. I was there for 12 years, my sister held for 10.”

        “So, your sister is Primordial, too?” she asked, and I nodded.

Nurse Skye came in then and noticed Nova was awake, so she celled for food for the both of us to be brought in and she took Nova’s vitals. She checked the stages of heal of the latest bruises and was happy to report they were gone, and that the serum appeared to be working exceptionally well.

    “I can hear Venus again,” Nova said.

    “You couldn’t reach her before?” Nurse Skye asked, and Nova shook her head. Not since I was thrown into the bunker.”

    “That must have been the final injury that made you so weak. Being beaten for refusing to go into the bunker,” came Dr. Viotto’s voice as he brought in two trays of food. “Since I was on my way to see you, I figured I’d bring them myself.” He handed me a tray and set the other on the bedside table and wheeled it up to Nova. “How do you feel?”

    “Actually, I feel fine. No aching.”

    “Well, hopefully that Primordial instant healing kicked in. We’ll check after you finish eating. Future Alpha Kane, I wanted to remind you about the meeting in five hours.”

    I nodded and took the lid off Nova’s plate of food. It was oatmeal and crackers with a little bit of fruit on the side. There was a glass of water that she was instructed to drink all of.

    She began to eat and the doctor and nurse both left the room. I uncovered my plate and found a hearty meat sandwich with lettuce, tomato, and onion, and a side of fruit. I dug in because it was apparently 1 AM and I hadn’t eaten for 9 hours so I found that I was starving.

    “Kane?” came Nova’s melodic voice that I would never get tired of hearing.

    “Hmm?” I managed with a mouthful of food.

    “What meeting?”

    “Well, it was supposed to be the Alpha meeting at 8, but now it’s at 6 and with everything that transpired, I don’t think it will be just any old Alpha meeting.”

    “So, you have to leave me?”

    “I’m afraid so, Angel,” I responded as I pressed the call button since she had finished eating. Nurse Vivianna came in and saw her empty plate and smiled, taking it graciously while she went to get the doctor.

    He brought in the portable x-ray machine and gave me a lead gown to wear. I finished eating while Dr. Viotto got full body x-rays of Nova. When he finished, he took the lead gown from me, and Nurse Vivianna took my empty tray as well. Dr. Vi was gone for about 15 minutes before he came back in the room with a smile on his face.

    “Nova, my dear, it appears all of your injuries have healed fully. Unfortunately, I cannot release you until you are fully hydrated. We are going to take some blood and check that now. Your hematocrit levels will tell us that.”

    Nova nodded and held out her free arm as Nurse Skye came in to draw up blood. Once that was finished, Dr. Vi disappeared to analyze her blood. He came back after another 30 minutes.

    “It appears your hematocrit level has improved drastically. I’d like to keep you until tomorrow though, to keep your eating schedule regular.”

    “I want to go to the Alpha meeting, too. I mean, my mate is a future Alpha.”

    “Nova I –” Dr. Vi began, but I cut him off.

    “Wait, you really accept me? You really want to be with me?” I asked, my heart pounding in my chest.

    “Yes. You saved me. You have been here for me through everything. You haven’t left my side. You protect me. You’re my knight in shining armor, Kane. I, Nova Mae Leigh, accept you, Kane…”

    “Knightlock.”

    “I, Nova Mae Leigh, accept you, Kane Knightlock, as my mate.”

    “I, Kane Knightlock, accept you, Nova Mae Leigh, as my mate and future Luna of the Blue Moon pack.”

    With that, the mate bond clicked further into place and so did the mind link. Thankfully, we were far enough away from home that she wouldn’t be bombarded with the entire pack’s mind links.

    Dr. Vi smiled. “If I may continue now… Nova, This meeting could take up to 6 hours. You have to eat every three.”

    “So, I’ll eat right before we go in, and someone can bring me food at 9 A.M. and I’ll eat as soon as we get out.”

    Dr. Vi rubbed his temples and thought for a minute before sighing. “Very well, if the Elders permit it, I will allow it. Let me go ask now,” and with that, he turned and left the room.

    “Try to get some rest. I’m going to stop the morphine drip as Dr. Vi ordered, Nurse Skye said. I nodded and looked at Nova.

    “I want to wait for an answer.”

    “Angel, it’s the middle of the night. We may not get an answer until it’s time to get up.”

    She sighed in frustration but nodded and motioned for me to come lay next to her. I did just that and she curled into me again. I wrapped my arms around her and hummed to her. Soon, I heard a soft snore coming from her, so I closed my eyes and went to sleep myself.

    I was awakened by Dr. Vi who informed me that it was 5:30 A.M. He also woke Nova up. “Nova, the Elders have agreed to let you join the meeting.”

    Nova smiled as she and I were each handed a tray of food. She ate it quickly and so did I. She was given an outfit that was too big for her, but we didn’t have many choices, and Nurse Vivianna was the smaller of the two nurses. Her IV was unhooked and her discharge papers were waiting. She signed them and off we went. Dr. Vi led the way to conference room four.

    We arrived in the doorway at 5:59, bowed our heads to the Elders, and found our seats next to my dad and Beta Jackson.

    The door shut a minute later, and the meeting got underway.

    “As you all know, this is not going to be just any Alpha meeting. Obviously, there will be no Gibbous Moon pack left to be in alliance, neutral, or rivals with. We will start by going around the room and introducing yourselves as we have a few future Alphas here,” Elder Simmons said.

    I was to his right, so he started with me. “Future Alpha Kane Knightlock of the Blue Moon pack.”

    “Future Luna Nova Mae Leigh of the Blue Moon pack.”

    “Alpha Kaiden Knightlock of the Blue Moon pack.”

    “Beta Jackson Robins of the Blue Moon pack.”

    One by one, everyone introduced themselves. Once that was finished, Elder Williams spoke. “As I’m sure many of you know that future Alpha Kane and his sister Kris were kidnapped at the age of 5, two years apart. They were a part of the supernatural trafficking ring…” he went into detail of how we escaped and had me speak about it.

    “Next up is you all know Nova was also kidnapped 7 years ago and sold a few months later to this pack. I’m not going to delve into great detail about that. But she, along with future Alpha Kane, his mom, Luna Kylie, and sister Kris, are all Primordials. The Primordial bloodline will finally be able to continue without a threat to their lives.”

    Everyone from visiting packs clapped.

    “Now for the elephant in the room: the newborns, the enslavement of Nova, and the r**e of a minor. Alpha Ryker, Luna Amaya, future Alpha Ryder, Beta Ryan, and Beta-female Jackie have been stripped of their titles and are sentenced to death. John Brighton and Ryan Hew have also been found guilty of r****g a minor and have received part of their punishment for such last night, as you all witnessed. In addition, they will be castrated and tortured before being left to die.” Applause erupted again, interrupting Elder Simmons.

    “Ahem,” he cleared his throat, silencing the room immediately. “As for the rest of them, they will receive their torture as well, which all of you are invited to participate in. Hold the applause, please.

    “As for the Gibbous Moon pack members, we have to decide a way to distribute them between all five packs.”

    “Why not let them mingle with each packs’ members in a group and let their wolf and them decide which pack to join?” I suggested. “We can do the same with the newborns.”

    Elder Simmons nodded. “Very well. All in favor of that, raise your hand.” It was unanimous.

    “Well then, it’s decided. You all will stand around the front of the packhouse with each pack a separate group and let everyone mingle and decided themselves which pack to join.” He looked at the other Elders. “Unfortunately, Nova, I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to participate in the torture because of your weakened state.”

    She nodded in response, “I understand, Elders.”

    “Before I dismiss you all, the castration and torture of Ryan Hew and John Brighton will be public in the courtyard in 30 minutes. Go do what you need to do, and I’m assuming I’ll see all of you there. You are dismissed.”

    “Elders?” I questioned, and everyone stayed put. “Dr. Viotto and his nurses are wondering what is going to happen to them, and Nova is attached to Dr. Vi and says she doesn’t want another doctor. I wanted to request that they come back with us, since they know her best.” I continued.

    The Elders’ eyes clouded over as they communicated with one another. Then their eyes returned to normal. “Very well, they may join the Blue Moon pack,” Elder Simmons said. “Besides, with what I’m guessing is over 2000 members, you could use another doctor.” He waited a beat then said, “you all may go now.”

    We all stood and bowed, then the Elders led the way out of the conference room.

    Alpha Regius and Luna Celius of the Silver Lake pack in Floyd, VA stayed back as we waited for everyone to leave.

    “Alpha Kaiden, Future Alpha Kane, future Luna Nova, a word, please,” Alpha Regis said to us as he shut the door. “Beta Jackson, too,” he acknowledged.

    “How old is your daughter?” Alpha Regis asked my dad.

    “15, almost 16.”

    “My son is also 15, almost 16. My understanding is that Primordials are born to two pureblood Alpha parents?

    My dad nodded.

    “We believe our son is a Primordial and is your daughter’s mate.”

    “What?”

    “My wife and I, my Luna, are also pureblooded Alphas. And my son has powers.”

    “I guess we will have to wait and see in just over two years. What day was your son born?”

    “November 11, 2004.”

    My dad’s jaw dropped. “I guess that makes us possible family then, old friend.” He grinned.

    “I guess so, old man. I’m happy for you and your wife, and Kane, Kris and Nova.”

    “Uncle Regis?!” I exclaimed, realizing this was one of the men I called uncle before I was kidnapped.

    “The one and only. Come here, son,” he pulled me into a hug, and I hugged him back with one arm, not wanting to let go of Nova’s hand. I hugged him tight as I fought back tears.

    “Let’s go watch the show, Reggie,” My dad said and opened the door.

    We filed out and went down the hall to the stairs. We followed this all the way down to the first floor, where a nurse was just coming up the stairs with Nova’s food. Nova took it from her and thanked her.

    We went out back and sat in a few of the chairs that were lined up in front off two structures made of wood but were quite a distance away, with silver chains attached to them at the end of the piece that stuck out, like in hangman.

    Nova began eating while we waited. My dad and Beta Jackson joined us shortly after, and soon I saw Ryan and John being dragged out by Elders’ guards. They were chained upside-down from the structures. I was shocked at the state they were in, but I knew what had transpired while I had been in the hospital with Nova.

    The Elders gathered in front of them facing the crowd that had gathered in the courtyard.

    “Today, we will be castrating and torturing of two men responsible for committing such a heinous crime as that of r****g a minor!” he bellowed and looked directly at me. “Blaze, would you like to perform the castration?” I felt my eyes go from blue to black to fiery red as Blaze took over.

    “Nova, Venus, my mates, this is for you. I don’t know that you’ll want to watch, though, my sweet Angel,” he said.

    I felt my body stand and strip and become Blaze. I heard Nova gasp as she saw Blaze for the first time. He walked up to John, licked his chops, snarled, and charged at him, grabbing John’s d**k and balls in his mouth and tore them off. John screamed at the top of his lungs as blood spurted everywhere.

    He flung it right in Ryan’s face. Ryan screamed and struggled against the chains, but it was no use.

    Blaze snarled again and stepped sideways over to stand in front of Ryan. He bared his teeth with blood running down his chops, he licked his chops and charged at Ryan, doing the same thing to him. He dropped it with John’s while Ryan screamed as well and more blood spurted.

    Blaze licked his chops again, let out a howl, and let me shift back. I was grateful to see someone waiting with a towel. I wiped myself clean of blood and got dressed. I found that Nova had watched the whole thing.

     soon as I finished, each Alpha stood up and grabbed a weapon off the table that was off to the side. Their Betas joined them, so it was four on one.

    They began to whip, cut, burn, and inject wolfsbane.

    Ryan and John screamed in pain, but there was no pity around for them. They got this 156 times, one for each human life lost.

    By the time they were done, Ryan and John had bled out. Their bodies were carried away while a kicking and screaming Ryker and Amaya. They were hung upside down from the structures as well.

    The Alphas and Betas repeated the torture 156 times. They struggled in the beginning, but their lives faded fast. Their bodies were carried away and a crying Ryder was brought out.

    The Alphas and Betas put their weapons down and motioned for the future Alphas to go, which put two on one.

    The two future Alphas each chose a weapon. One picked up the wolfsbane laced whip, the other picked up the torch and they began the torture, taking turns, 78 times each.

    Ryder had long ago passed out from pain, and the final hit was a large dose of wolfsbane to kill him. Each future Alpha had a syringe of wolfsbane and injected directly into his heart at the same time, effectively stopping it. Ryder was carried away, and the torturers went to go clean themselves up. I decided I would do the same.
