Page 67 of The Breeding Cave
Before I could achieve any of my dreams …
Do I even have any dreams anymore?
“I’ll be back!” Brent called from down the walkway.
After smoothing out Luciano’s shirt, I headed toward Brent’s voice.
While I didn’t have many of my own clothes–or much of my own life–anymore, not after Alvin completely took my life from me, I did have a dream, a goal—give Luciano a child before the Dragon Clan killed me.
When I returned to the main area, where Luciano had bred me that first night, it was empty, yet Brent’s scent lingered in the air. I walked to the front of the cave and sat against a rock to wait for him to return.
My gaze traveled around the dark forest, and the hairs on my arm suddenly stood up.
I looked up at a tree in the distance and froze, spotting two glowing blue eyes from high up above. They were so far apart from each other that they almost looked like stars shining around the tree branches.
But then the creature, which must’ve stood twenty feet in the air, moved toward me.
CHAPTER
THIRTY-THREE
YEOSIN
“What the fuck is that?!” I whispered to myself.
When the monster stepped into the moonlight, I nearly peed myself. At her full height, she stood at least twenty-five feet in the air. All she had to do was step on me, and I would be nothing but splat on the ground. One flick with her finger, and she’d send me spiraling into the wall with lethal force.
A branch snapped to my left. I looked over, expecting to see Brent, but saw a beast almost the size of Luciano charging my way. My eyes widened, and I shuffled backward into the cave because Brent had told me not to leave.
But where the fuck is he?!
The monster stopped at the entrance of the cave in his beast form and stood to his full length, towering over me. I had been coming to this cave for what felt like weeks now, and I had never once seen this one here before.
“Please, don’t kill me,” I whispered, backing up and holding my arms in front of my face.
He growled, the sound echoing through the cave. Luciano had told me that not many people knew about these caves and that the only people who really came here were … other beasts like him who had lost their packs.
Light from the moon flooded into the cave, bouncing off his muscles. He stalked closer to me and snatched up my wrist. I yanked it away and stumbled back into a rock, falling over it and landing on my ass, legs up in the air.
Shit! Where the hell is Brent?!
“Please, stop,” I whispered.
He had that same hungry look in his eyes that Luciano always had when he trapped me in this cave with him to fill me, to breed me. Was that what this guy was doing here too? Did he plan on breeding me? Luciano … wouldn’t let that happen.
But Luciano wasn’t here.
Stomach twisting into knots, I shook my head as he grabbed my ankle and pulled me back up onto the rock, moving between my thighs. The full moon … it must’ve made beasts like him angry or horny … or both.
“Please,” I whispered, tears pricking the corners of my eyes.
The twenty-five-foot monster outside the cave suddenly reached in and grabbed him between her thumb and forefinger, which were both at least six inches wide. She dragged him out of the cave and flicked him across the trees.
I scanned the forest at lightning speed in an attempt to find where Brent had gone off to. He was supposed to have supersonic hearing, wasn’t he?!
Where the fuck is Brent?! How long does it take to retrieve firewood?
As she took another step toward me, her bones snapped inside her body, and she shrank from a twenty-five-foot monster into a five-foot-something human woman with raggedy blonde hair and an expressionless face.
