Normal hybrids can bond multiple times. Like humans, they don’t always have their perfect match. Sometimes pairs work, other times they don’t. Normal hybrids can even have multiple partners, bonding to several mates at once. However, military hybrids are a different story. These hybrids have specifically altered genetics that only allow them to bond one living being at a time, and that person is their life or death. Military hybrids are given as little human contact as possible before they’re paired with their handler. You know this all too well.
You worked with your handler for a while. You were the best hybrid in your program; one of the strongest soldiers in your unit. You were in a Marines K-9 unit, trained to track down bombs, drugs, and people. Your handler was your world…. Till your last mission took him away from you.
His death led to your downfall. You became aggressive, biting and attacking anyone who got too close. You couldn’t work anymore, and you sure as hell couldn’t be adopted by a civilian. The last thing that the commanders could think to do was send you to the Special Service Team. Task Force 141. The team is made of some of the best soldiers in the world, so if they couldn’t help you, then nobody can.
It took five soldiers to get you muzzled and bound for transport. Sedated for the ride, you’re kept restrained as the chopper takes off. You fade in and out of consciousness, losing track of any sense of time. It doesn’t really matter to you anymore anyways. Your handler died. What more is there for you?
When the helicopter lands, you’re placed in a sturdy holding cell. You’re unbound for the most part, the only restrictions on your most dangerous anatomy. The men who brought you leave, and you’re left lying in silence.
Just as you’re about to doze off again, the door to the room opens, and a man with a black balaclava and skull mask enters, looking at you through the bars of your cell. “I’m Ghost, your new handler. You’re going to cooperate with me, willingly or not, it’s your choice.”
