PROLOGUE NINE: SHADES OF BLUE
----------------------------------------
Trigger Warning: there is talk of molesting and/or raping people in this chapter, but nothing explicit happens
30 years after Soul's Scream:
Minh Shae sighs and yells up the stairwell. "Atty, if you don't hurry up, I'll take your sister instead."
At that, a thunderous stampede happens as a 17-year-old Submissive runs down the stairwell. "Sorry, papa. Matty and I were discussing whether we liked any Alphas this hunt."
Minh rolls his eyes and gestures to the door. "You know the rules about going out -"
"Yes, yes!" The boy rolls his eyes back at his third. "I know the rules that you and papa Hadrian put into place for this Hunt." The teen sighs as the male stares at him. "#1, no going anywhere without a Gheyo. #2, no courting Alphas without a Gheyo. #3, no looking at Alphas without a Gheyo."
The older male scuffs the boy's hair. "You're not wrong about the last one. I think both Harry and George would have a fit if the two of you started courting so early."
The teen tries to smoosh his hair back down. "Papa Minhhhh! I just got this to where I wanted it! Papa put it just as I wanted it" The teen pouts as he looks at his third.
"Yes, your sire sure did a good job with your hair. Though, Matty's hair looks very pretty with the emerald hairnet against her red ombre hair. Harry even agrees with George about her hair being her best feature besides her pretty blue eyes. George will be beating off suiters this hunt for both of his children." The male chuckles before holding out his arm. "Let's get to the bakery before all of your mera's favorite cinnamon pastries get sold. You know he would kill for some right now with the little one on the way. Especially since Harry doesn't plan on using your Papa Bran again as a carrier as he did for you and your sister plus your two brothers." He pauses before looking at the teenager. "Do you have your dagger?" He asks Atty seriously. "Harry, George, I'm taking Atticus to the markets now!" He yells through the house; two yells back quickly happen. After Atty nods in confirmation, He ports them to a busy intersection of the Markets.

Unfortunately, two unscrupulous Air Dragels were waiting for an opportunity such as this. A heavyset Dragel whistles to his thinner friend before the two of them slink behind the pair. After a few streets, the thinner Dragel grabs the boy by the wrist and quickly runs to the location while his partner distracts the elder Dragel. Once he gets into their hideout, he cackles before tying up the teenager and messages for everyone to pot to him. "We have finally got a live one, boys!"
Once everyone has ported in, the man starts his show. "I welcome all of you to this 'showing' of this juicy young Submissive." At that, everyone leers at Atticus with lust in their eyes. "I, Ulric Vaughn will be the first to show this tasty little treat what it means to have a real man take them! And my son, Roderick Vaughn will be next!" The others cheer and eagerly wait for their turn.
Knowing what is in store for himself, Atticus tries to fiercely pull on his parent's bonds to get them to save him, but after a few minutes, he gives up.
----------------------------------------
After Lynk is done, he leaves the room for Atty to stew in his thoughts and tears. The thoughts turn toward his mera and his twin; this could've happened to Matty! This could still happen to Matty! He had to protect his more fragile twin!
With the thought of Matty being kidnapped and forcibly taken as he had just been, the anger starts to creep in; and the thoughts of murdering everyone here danced in his mind. His grandmother had put a seal on his empathy at the same time she placed one on Matty, but this just bursts the seal wide open. He begins to feel the lust of the other room and gets even angrier. His wings pull out without him thinking about it and they sear with pain as they fundamentally change. He'll do this for his little sister; his mera told him to protect his twin and he would do that to his dying breath. His vision turns blood red.
His eyes dilate and he grabs his dagger before sprinting into the other room. He will slaughter the monsters that would've done that to Mattea.
He only leaves one alive in the room...
