Original Stories Fan Fiction ❯ The Last Bearers ❯ Chapter 5 ( Chapter 5 )

Identity

 

It took five days before I finally became pregnant and another three weeks for us to figure it out. After that, I was confined to the bed to ensure that I didn't risk losing the baby. In this strange new world, anything could happen. Hayden was always gone during the day, clearing the forest (he did leave a good amount of trees for the local wildlife) and doing other various chores while I tried not to strain myself doing the housework. As the months fell away, I became more and more pregnant. Hayden built furniture and made clothes, trying to keep them a neutral color since we didn't know the gender of the baby. Hayden built what he called the “birthing room”. We had been given the knowledge on how to deliver babies along with everything else.

Chapter 5

Aleksei stared as Daire entered the cafeteria one morning a couple days shy of his fourteenth birthday. It seemed as though he had been transformed overnight. Since when had he been so handsome? Aleksei mentally kicked himself. He felt nothing for the boy. He never had and he never would.

He couldn't help staring as Daire crossed the room with his head held high. In almost a year, Daire had transformed from a quiet, gentle, shy little boy into a confident, bright young man. He held himself proudly and wouldn't let anyone look down on him, but yet he wouldn't look down on anyone else. It had happened so fast. Aleksei reflected for a moment. No, it hadn't happened overnight. When he looked back, Daire's transformation had happened a little at a time. He just hadn't noticed until now.

He couldn't help staring at Daire. He was so…so different. He had let his hair grow out so his curls now reached his shoulders. His face had matured and his baby fat seemed to have melted away. He was thin but had well developed muscles from gym. Several heads turned and several pairs of eyes followed Daire's movement across the room. He picked up his tray and joined Caelyn and Aidan at their usual table. The eyes still followed him, but he didn't seem to be bothered by it. He acted as though nothing was happening.

Alden caught up to Caelyn right before class.

“I'm worried,” he whispered.

“Why?” Caelyn replied.

“Did you see how all the Breeders were looking at him today? I overheard some of them talking about him. They're already feeling lustful towards him and he hasn't even had his first heat yet. If he can turn them on now, just think about what'll happen when he goes into heat!”

“I know, but there isn't anything we can do about it. We can't stop the lust. The Breeders will only get edgier and snap if they're controlled too much. We just have to wait and see what happens. There's only a couple days left before his birthday. We have no idea when his heat will occur.”
“Sometime after his birthday I guess,” Caelyn shrugged.

“Just be careful, all right? I have a really bad feeling.”

----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------

Daire's first heat unexpectedly started the day of his fourteenth birthday and it came at the worst possible moment.

“Are you okay?” Caelyn asked, throwing a worried glance at his friend, who was only picking at his food.

“I feel sort of funny,” Daire mumbled.

“Funny like how?”

“I dunno…sort of hot and tired.”

Caelyn leaned over and put a hand on Daire's forehead. “Well, you're definitely warmer than usual. I wonder if yo…” he stopped, his eyes widening. He had caught a smell while leaning in towards Daire, the unmistakable scent of someone in heat.

“Cae? What's wrong?” Aidan asked through a mouthful of food.
“Daire's heat,” Caelyn answered. Aidan dropped his fork and leaned over to get whiff of the smell, though it was unnecessary; a moment later, he was able to smell it sitting two places to Daire's right.

“Oh fuck,” he murmured. He glanced over at the Breeders. “Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck.”

Caelyn glanced around and saw the other Bearers shifting uncomfortably. They too, smelled it. It was only a matter of time before the Breeders got wind of it. One of their heads turned. Caelyn only saw red hair. Aleksei. He was the only redhead at The Institute. Everyone else either had brown or blonde hair, or something in between. His mouth tightened. It was clear that he could smell Daire. Caelyn saw a couple more heads turn. They were starting to notice. It would be hard to not notice it; it was the most potent scent Caelyn had ever experienced and he was a Bearer. Daire sat absolutely still, though Caelyn could see him shaking. He was frightened.

“Man, you are one lucky bastard,” Bryan growled in Aleksei's ear. Aleksei blinked and remembered that he was Daire's mate.

“Control yourself, Bryan,” Alden pleaded, unaffected by the smell of Daire.

“How can you not smell it?” Bryan hissed.

“I smell it, but I'm not letting it bother me.”
“You have a lot more self-control than I do,” Jesse smirked.

“How can you not let it bother you? It's so potent.”

“Enough,” Aleksei snapped, surprising everyone, including himself. “Stop talking about him like that.”
“Ooh, someone is protective,” Alden teased lightly.

Aleksei felt his face grow hot but couldn't think of a response. He had no idea of why that had slipped out.

 

Aleksei continued to stare at the blond-haired boy. He was beginning to feel uncomfortable. He never really had realized just how beautiful Daire really was. He scowled. Had he just admitted that Daire was beautiful? Did it really matter? Daire was his mate. Aleksei's eyes widened as he realized that no matter how much he tried to deny it, to himself, to others, he was Daire's mate and nothing was going to change that fact. Daire was attracting a lot of stares. He was attracting a lot of stares, and it made Aleksei angry. He didn't want anyone else to look at Daire with lust. They would be tempted to take him, but he was his.

Swallowing hard, he knew what he had to do. He had to fulfill his duty as a Breeder and physically seal the bond by taking the boy's innocence-his virginity. He needed to do it soon, before all hell broke loose. One of the Breeders was bound to be set over the edge by Daire and try to take him, though it was strictly forbidden. The guards were going to have their hands full today trying to control the Breeders. They knew how dangerous the Breeders got when one of the Bearers was in heat, but this was not just any ordinary Bearer. Daire's heat was much more potent than any other Bearer of his time.

Caelyn kept his eyes on Aleksei, watched as they looked around the room. He was thinking. Calculating. Caelyn could see it.

Oh god, he's going to try and make a break for it. He thought. It was the most foolish and risky thing Aleksei could do. He would risk hurting himself and Daire in the process. The Breeders were powerful. They were dominant and incredibly aggressive. And right now, they were horny. The worst possible combination. Caelyn risked a glance at Aidan. He was sitting mouthing “fuck” over and over again. Caelyn glanced over at Daire. He looked like he wanted to curl up and die. He looked back at the Breeders. Half of them looked like they wanted to come over and ravage Daire. A third of them were trying to control themselves with little success. There were only a handful of them who were completely immune to Daire's scent, no matter how potent it was.

Caelyn saw Aleksei's muscles tense and knew that it was coming, but nothing could have prepared him for what happened next. Aleksei hurled himself across the room and grabbed Daire as the Breeders finally lost it. There were howls and feral growls as the Breeders tried to get across the room towards Daire. The guards were holding them back, but it didn't seem like it would last for long. Aleksei grabbed Daire by the hand and pulled him up.

“Let's go,” he hissed, then sprinted for the door, dragging Daire along with him. The Breeders beat the guards down and swarmed. All hell broke loose. Aleksei and Daire made it out the door and sprinted down the corridors. Daire was too frightened to protest. Aleksei rounded a corner and nearly ran into two guards. They had syringes with them. One of them lifted one threateningly but Daire stepped forward.
“Leave him alone,” he commanded. “He's my mate.”

The guards looked at each other, surprised.

“It's all right,” John unexpectedly said from behind the guards. “Let them go. Aleksei is Daire's mate.” The guards let the two boys pass. “Hurry! Aleksei, you know what to do.”

Aleksei nodded. He pulled Daire along. “Come on. Do you want them to catch us?!” Daire silently shook his head and ran faster. They rounded another corridor and unexpectedly stopped.

“In here.” Aleksei shoved Daire through a doorway and looked around before following. He slammed the door shut and locked it. He flipped the lights on. They were in a small square room with nothing besides a bed and a window that had the blinds closed. Daire looked around, then back at Aleksei.

“What do we do now?” he asked.

Aleksei stepped forward. “We have sex.”

Daire thought his heart would explode in his chest from beating so fast when Aleksei approached him. Aleksei pressed his lips against his for a short kiss.
“Just let your instincts take over,” he urged, kissing Daire again. Daire closed his eyes and Aleksei could feel his muscles relax. He brought Daire's shirt up and was surprised when the blond-haired boy lifted his arms up so it could be removed. Daire opened his sapphire eyes. He gazed calmly at Aleksei and he knew that Daire was letting his instincts take over. He couldn't help smiling as he leaned in and kissed him again. He worked his way down Daire's neck, kissing him faster and faster. Daire's scent was driving him wild. He brought his head up and Daire removed his shirt for him. They went to the bed and Daire laid down submissively. Aleksei crawled on top of him. He worked his way down Daire's neck and onto his chest.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note From the Author: A real big thanks to Mitts, from adultfanfiction dot net for pointing out my typos! I didn't even notice them! Daire really surprised me in the last chapter when his personality took a 180. I wasn't expecting to write him like I did in confinement. One of my reviewers from mediaminer dot org worded it really well, “how Daire turned on a plate and suddenly was mean as well, not at all the submissive little tool I thought him to be.” You took the words right out of my mouth, Rose-Angel!
