Days turned into a week. I hadn't seen Silas since he'd shown me the clones. Part of me was glad. But I grew frustrated when none of my guards answered my questions. My time was spent undergoing tests with Rakefield, being prodded and poked at. My pregnancy was moving at double the speed of a human one, but I still didn't feel any different. I didn't know much about pregnancy in the normal sense, let alone this kind. And Rakefield was about as informative as a crustacean. She was driving me mad with her new catchphrase, 'We'll just have to wait and see'.

I spent my 'free' time in Silas's room, keeping away from people as much as possible, deliberating ways I could escape. It wasn't until another day had passed, laying on my bed in the light of the sunny morning, that I started to really panic.

How long was I going to be kept like this? Until this baby was born? Or until I lost the plot and threw myself off the ship just to escape the daily assessments. It felt like my temperature was taken a hundred times a day. I had to give blood samples, urine samples, saliva samples. Then I'd spend afternoons on the treadmill, or put through circuits in a 90s gym that looked like it had been designed by Mr Motivator.

I sighed as I laid on my bed. Rakefield had told me I could have a rest today. But there were so many things I'd been trying to avoid thinking about, that a day off suddenly didn't seem like a treat at all.

I thumbed the tattoo on the inside of my elbow, marking me as IDAHO's property. Silas's property. Was he going to give me any choice in this pregnancy? I didn't even want to be a mother. I wasn't qualified for that in any sense of the word.

At the sound of the door opening, I sat upright in bed, finding Silas walking toward me with a tray of food, dressed smartly in a shirt and trousers. He placed the food down on the edge of the mattress, wringing his hands together.

Silence passed between us as I lifted my brows, waiting for him to speak.

“I'm sorry,” he said at last.

“For what?” I asked dryly. “Kidnapping me? Shoving a Werewolf heart in my chest? For branding me as your property?” I glared at him. All my rage spilled over at being left for days on end, without so much as an explanation for what was going to happen to me.

“Firstly, I didn't kidnap you. I wasn't even involved in the raid on The Sanctuary,” he said. “That was my father's plan. I dealt with the experiments.”

I half-laughed. “As in, you ordered your staff to alter our bodies, mutilate us without our consent?”

Silas sighed, pressing his fingers into his eyes. “Our methods can be crude, Firefly. But it is all done for the benefit of science, for humanity.”

I tsked, grimacing as I turned away.

Silas pushed the tray closer.
