Dominic hadn't planned on locking up with some anonymous bitch. He'd only gotten her name, Rachelle, from her mind. He finally was able to slide out from between her legs when he went down. When he slipped out of the room to make a hasty get away, he was greeted by guards. They took him directly to Rodrigo.
"What did you do to my bitch, Dominic?"
"I swell like that. I tried to warn her."
"You came, what twice, in the kitchen?"
"Yeah, Rodrig..."
"What did you call me?"
"Yes, sir," Dom hissed through gritted teeth.
"And then how many times last night."
"Just once more...sir."
"What the hell are you?"
"I'm just a man, sir. My father is this way as well."
"So you can turn it off and on?"
"No, sir. I just get aroused in a different way. I can feel it coming. That's why I told her...."
"Shut up!" The bellow rolled through the room. "Bring `em in."
A small woman was dragged in followed by Rachelle. Rachelle looked up at Dominic with fear. Dominic's response was a quick nod of his head. He looked back at Rodrigo.
"How long was he inside you?" Rodrigo drove his hand toward her crotch and she jumped back.
"Please, I don't know. Maybe, overnight?"
Rodrigo had her lifted up, so that she could be inspected closer. His hand went to her slit and parted her lips. He shoved two fingers inside and turned his hand. She stiffened and whimpered softly. He growled for her silence. The leader sighed and turned toward Dom. With a nod, Dominic's pants were down around his ankles. Rodrigo smirked and said, "There's nothin' special about that."
Dom desperately scanned for the underlying reason for this change of courtesy. There was more to it than the penis thing. Though he'd tried to hide it while he was here, he knew it would happen eventually. It was as though Rodrigo had been waiting for him to do something.
"How many did you mate with?"
"I'm not sure. I lost count after five..."
Dominic was thrown to the floor and a pair of knees pressed down on his back.
Rodrigo pulled an advisor close and whispered in his ear, "Round them up and have them examined. If they catch, have it fixed."
"You are to be detained," Rodrigo finally addressed Dominic. "We don't want you to create a disease in the pack. You should have told us straight out what you were. We gave you the women to see if you'd do this. After all of those women, I thought you were clean."
"What?" Dominic's outburst was greeted by a pair of hands wrenching his arms backward and something fastening his wrists together.
He knew he could easily get out of the situation, but he still needed to know why Rodrigo was so afraid. He relaxed under the force of the black wolves over him.
"You are to be quarantined until we know the extent of the infestation."
"I'm not diseased, and you know it! I'm just a different..."Dominic tried to explain, but his mouth was quickly covered.
"We'll find out where you came from and recover the bitch," A tall dark man entered the room. "If she is ours, we will know."
The tall man glanced down at Dominic dismissively and continued, "If there are more, we will send for reinforcements. Of course, if they're as weak as this one, we'll have no problem."
"Good, Louis. I expect you to be careful with any bitches until we find out the extent of his reproduction."
Dominic could have said he hadn`t procreated, but they had him pretty much trussed up by then. He could only manage a rolling growl.
Rodrigo laughed, "What? You thought I'd just let you in and give you bitches for no reason?"
He presented his penis and urinated in front of Dom's face, as he continued, "We had to be sure. You nearly got away with it, though. You see, we know about your kind. You're just dogs. The product of inferior breeding. We'll take care of that. We'll take any pure bitches you've acquired and have you cut."
Dominic was raised, his pants pulled back up, and he looked eye to eye with Rodrigo. He pushed his way into the man's brain and opened a door. Dominic received the information he needed. Dominic was not inferior. On the contrary. In some freak circumstance, he was perfection. More wolf than man. The pack couldn't risk breeding with him. His seed would upset the balance of Stella's old blood control. With more strength and speed, the offspring would prove no match. His children would be born to rule. The others like him were sent away, males to San Domingue and females to Mexico, to control the spread of the wolf-children and protect the pack.
With the information he needed, Rodrigo was no longer necessary. Dominic opened another center in Rodrigo's mind. The change was imperceptible at first. It would grow inside him until he was a shrieking idiot. The king cast his eyes down and ordered his prisoner taken to the caves for safe keeping until the expedition returned. Dom was happy he hadn't been specific in anything that he'd said about where he lived. It would buy him time to get back home and move everyone into hiding. As soon as he was far enough away from the elite, he'd slip the bonds and stroll right out. After the few days he'd spent, he judged the ones with mental capabilities were high ranking and would act accordingly.
When he was thrown into a room with the older bitch he'd seen earlier, he knew immediately who she was.
`Iva, I presume,' he bowed.
She seemed startled to be addressed in thought. "Ah, yes, that's me." She blinked her almond shaped stained glass eyes at him for a moment and said, "They haven't let me near someone with awareness in a long time. Why now?"
Dominic sighed, "They don't know much about me. The queen..."
