Lab Rat Characters

I've been chasing after Howard Chapman for 20 years. A week before our graduation ceremony, we slept together every night, burning through ten boxes of condoms in just as many days. When I bring him our 11th box of condoms, he turns me away as he's working on his thesis. Worried about his health, I buy him some supplements instead. But as I stand outside his door, about to hand them over, I catch him poking holes in the condoms. His friend chuckles and says, "You're still sneaking Selena Reed birth control pills, huh? You're the only one who'd cook up such a scheme. Selena doesn't know she's already swallowed ten of them, does she? If she did, she'd throw a huge tantrum." Howard snorts. "I wouldn't even touch her if I didn't need her to try the pills and help me figure out which one causes the fewest side effects. "Lizzy's got a weak immune system. She's not as tough as Selena, so I have to be more careful with her. Besides, Selena and I are engaged. There'll be plenty of time to nurse her back to health after the wedding. I won't owe her anything." His friends cackle at his response. "You're not wrong. Selena's been pursuing you for 20 years. She's probably over the moon to marry you. She'd probably hand you her uterus if you asked for it—birth control pills are nothing to her." Howard had just proposed to me yesterday, in front of the whole college. My tears spatter onto the supplement box as I turn to leave. Howard has made his choice, and it's only right that I honor it.

"Maaf Mas, ada jurang tak kasat mata di antara kita. Aku ini janda dan ibu tunggal, tidak pantas bersanding denganmu. Sekalipun hati kami berdua kamu menangkan, ingatlah, kita terhalang status. Belum lagi mantan suamiku selalu berulah," ucapku agar ia mengerti. Aku cukup tahu diri. Mata teduhnya semakin menatap dalam dan aku merasa tenggelam. Sudut bibirnya berkedut lalu berkata, "Untuk pertama kalinya saya senang bilang ... TERSERAH. Kamu silahkan menjauh, nanti aku kejar. Saya tidak mau kalah dari mantan suamimu itu. Kalau kamu sabar, saya bisa tegar. Kita lihat, ke mana perahu nasib kita berlayar." Aku menghirup napas serakah, keras kepala sekali pria ini. Ingin kutabok kepalanya, tapi sayang, takut otak cerdasnya rusak. Masa laluku yang selalu saja membawa kesulitan dan keinginan keluarganya yang rumit. Benarkah bisa seperti ucapnya? Entahlah, aku hanya bisa diam membisu, takut berharap berujung sakit.

I was eight months pregnant and had just gone into labor, but my Alpha mate, Damien, locked me in a silver cage in the basement to delay my labor. When I cried out for help, he just told me to wait. Because his late brother's mate, Victoria, was also giving birth that day. The Pack Seer had foretold that only the firstborn pup would be blessed by the Moon Goddess and become the future Alpha. "The title belongs to Victoria's child," he said. "She lost Marcus. She has nothing. You already have all my love, Elena. The silver cage will make sure you deliver after her." The contractions were torture. I begged him to take me to the clinic. He grabbed my chin and forced me to look at him. "Stop pretending. I should've known you never loved me. All you've ever cared about is wealth and status!" "To force your labor early, just to steal what belongs to my nephew… You're truly wicked." Pale and trembling, I whispered: "The pup is coming, I can't stop it. Please, I'll make a blood oath. I don't care about the inheritance. I only love you!" He scoffed."If you loved me, you wouldn’t have forced Victoria into that contract to give up her pup’s birthright. I'll come back for you after she delivers. After all, that's my pup in there, too." He stood guard outside Victoria's delivery room. Only after he saw the newborn pup in her arms did he remember me. He ordered his Beta to release me. But the Beta's voice trembled. "Luna… and the pup… they're dead." And in that moment, Damien went feral.
