Se connecterElara“You are an employee, nothing more. You should be in the category of Elara, waiting to be bred at Level Nine."Ouch. That was low even for Dexter, but I wasn't complaining because Janet deserved it."I am the brain of this facility!" Janet shrieked, her hand flying out to grab the collar of his clean white coat again. She yanked him down to her level. And for a woman, she was surprisingly strong.“If I turn off the liquid in the lower tanks right now, the alpha's wolf wakes up and kills everyone in this building! Do not test me, Dexter.”The two of them began to wrestle over the control desk again, their heavy boots scuffing loudly against the floorboards as they punched and shoved each other away from the main switches. wow.The automated defense guns on the ceiling above us began to swing wildly from side to side as the commands from the computer became completely confused by their fight.Fenrir didn't say a single word. He didn't need to. He slid his arm off my shoulders, hi
ElaraI paused. Dexter blinked, then reached for the console again. But Janet’s fingers dug into his collar while she used her other hand to yank his hand away from the red button again."You fool," Janet hissed, her upper lip curling back. "I already told you that if you blast him with those heavy bullets, you will not only ruin his bones, but the marrow inside will be completely useless for our tests. Your greed is making you stupid."I gagged. Why talk about my mate's marrow like that?"I'm not stupid." Dexter shoved her arm off his chest with a hard grunt. His face flushed into a dark, ugly red colour. "I am the one managing a multi-billion dollar budget, Janet. Everyone wants this man stopped, not kept alive for your endless cell experiments. He has escaped three times. Killing him is more important than your scientific stupidity."I felt Fenrir’s thumb slide across my wrist, pressing firmly into my skin. His body was still hot from the fever, but the constant feel of his skin o
ElaraHe moved his fingers closer to the light so I could see them clearly. "I was bitten by an Alpha years ago. That is why my claws are completely white."He dropped his hands and looked intensely into my eyes. "But yours... your claws are black. What about yours, Fenrir?"Fenrir sounded bored. "Red."Caleb's entire body went stiff as he became totally disoriented by Fenrir's answer.“What? What does red mean?” I asked, confused.But Caleb kept staring at Fenrir in disbelief, shaking his head slightly before turning his green eyes back toward my face. "Well, Elara, you have your answer right there. It means you definitely have an ancient werewolf in your family tree.”What?! Who could that be?! _______________We reached the primary security checkpoint which was a massive iron gate flanked by two guard towers. There were no guards in the booths because everything was controlled by the blinking red lenses of automated cameras."Do it," Damon growled, shoving Linda toward the biomet
ElaraOuch…It looked sad. Really.Linda only sneered, lifting her shoulders in a careless shrug as she walked. “Bastard,” she added unceremoniously.I shook my head at the way she didn’t look afraid.Her expression reminded me of Janet. They both had that look… like someone who knew exactly what cards they were playing… and one of them did, even with her wrists bound tight behind her back.My senses prickled with the feeling that this woman had something up her sleeve. It was the same feeling I’d had back at the facility, when Janet let me get so close to Fenrir—Close enough to trap us in the end.Back then, I had been naïve and too willing to believe that friendship could overcome everything.Wait a minute.Speaking of friendship… Kate.Where the hell was she? I thought she followed me into the forest. Oh… I mentally face palmed. I turned to Fenrir beside me, about to ask for a favour. But then… I noticed he hadn’t fully recovered yet as his breathing still came in short gasps.Poo
ELARAWe moved slowly away from the room, careful not to let anything take us by surprise.I made sure to stay directly in front of Fenrir while he leaned his heavy shoulder against the wall for support. The main living room was a total disaster of broken chairs, shell casings, and dark red blood. It was brutal in here.Three of Dexter's soldiers were pinned flat against the floorboards with massive gray wolves standing over them. Their jaws dripped with foam and saliva, putting those under them in pure terror.Why fight wolves when you haven't even seen their real form? I shook my head. In the center of the wreckage, Caleb was standing in his human form… but his oversized leather jacket was covered in black soot. I raised an eyebrow, wondering why. He had his small boot planted firmly on the chest of a woman who was struggling wildly in the dirt.It must be Linda.. right?Her gear was torn, and a long, bloody scratch ran from her shoulders down to her elbow. And what was that look
ELARA“I am healing fast enough. Having you this close does more than the herbs, Elara.”“Hm.” Damon let out a short, tired grunt, pulling a small wooden stool toward the side of the bed. I almost forgot he was there."Save the romantic talk for after we clear our names. We have a massive problem. Linda has a three-hour head start on us. By now, she has already reached the facility gates and told Dexter that our bodies are scattered across the peaks.""That is exactly what we want her to think," Fenrir's expression turned cold. "Dexter will lower his guard by thinking the threat is gone, and he will lead us to the antidote and the other board members.”Good plan. But something was missing."But we don't have the trucks or the maps anymore," I pointed out, leaning my hip closer to Fenrir's side. The physical closeness was a comfort I didn't want to lose. "How are we supposed to get inside a fortress without Caleb's heavy gear?""Caleb's gear can only take us this far.” He showed me
ELARAI didn't realise it was a long, mournful howl, begging for help from anyone or anything that could hear my voice in the wilderness.Suddenly, a chorus of deep, heavy howls responded from the ridge above us. The sound was close, too close, and the air filled with the scent of multiple predato
ELARAI stood perfectly still. Something was in the air.It was like a heavy, crushing heat that caused another violent wave of pain to hit the center of my chest.My mouth dropped open silently. It felt like an iron rod was driving straight through my spine.I gasped for air, dropping to my knees
FenrirThe metal floorboards kept tilting violently beneath my chest, throwing my weight from side to side as I fought against the gravity of the spinning plane. No!The roaring wind from the open cargo door was deafening, ripping through the cabin and carrying away loose gear, but I dug my finger
Fenrir:I couldn't steal the truck from Damon and Linda, since they had been there for me through all these hard months. Thinking about stealing it was one thing, but actually doing it to my friends was different.Linda held the steering wheel tight as she drove the large truck onto the dark highwa
