“I can’t go anywhere. I’m a little tied up.” She spoke with sugary venom.“Ah, but you did go somewhere. Do you know that when you do it your eyes turn white like the unholy creature that you are? You know you’re the first bitch we’ve ever caught. Well, the first human bitch anyway.”Amanda shook her head and gritted her teeth as the lunatic’s assistant put his tweezers down and grabbed a pair of pliers and began to pull on one of her other fingernails. She let out a cry as the nail was ripped from her flesh.“What do you want from me?” She howled as she yanked at her bindings, desperately seeking a way out of the situation. She could hear his footsteps as he paced in a slow circle around her.“Mm. I want to study you. I want to cut you open and see what makes you tick. I want to see if you heal like they do if your pain tolerance is as high as theirs is. I might even decide to do some experiments to see if my pets can actually knock you up. I might force them to shift back to their h

“Sorry? For being a monster? Well, it’s a little late for that, now isn’t it?”Amanda opened her eyes and glared in the direction of that cold foreign voice.His cruel laughter echoed off the walls.“You call us monsters and yet you’re the one torturing someone and murdering people who have never harmed anyone. I think you might be a little bit confused about the definition of the word monster.”“Ernie, remove the rest of her fingernails. Slowly. Make it painful, I don’t like the way she speaks to me.”Amanda closed her eyes again and clenched her teeth together.Cole’s voice filled her mind once again. He’s finished talking for now. Why don’t you come to me so you won’t feel it?I’m coming to you because this matters to your pack and the safety of your people. I sent you the pain because I am weak. You heard how I feel because I don’t know how to filter my own thoughts like this. I need your help. That’s all. Don’t read any more into this than what it is. I can’t get out of this on m

Amanda stood, keeping her weight mostly on her uninjured leg and she limped quickly to the door the wolves were locked behind. She grabbed the door handle and turned it slowly and she pulled it open. They had left it unlocked with the wolves guarding her.When the wolves saw her, they both stood up and their faces were nearly even with hers.What if they aren’t very grateful? She gulped and watched the two wolves warily.The wolves both sniffed her and then looked at each other. They took a step back and in unison, they both lowered their heads and gave her their throats.Amanda remembered Sara doing the same thing and just as she had when Sara had taken that same posture, Amanda reached out and touched their throats with two fingers. “Do you know the way out of here?” She asked them both.Both wolves lowered their heads.That means yes.I know what it means.You do?Yes. I don’t know how, but yes.“Would you be willing to help me get out of this place?” Amanda looked from one wolf t

Look through my eyes, Amanda.She closed her eyes and rested her cheek against the black wolf’s fur, keeping her arms around his neck so she wouldn’t fall if she lost contact with her own body as she had done in the past when she had allowed her senses to merge with his. She pushed her mind forward gently.Her vision blurred and went black for a moment before the darkness cleared away and she began to see through Cole’s eyes. The first thing that struck her was that he stood shoulder to shoulder with the wolves of his pack. The second thing that struck her was that his vision was even stronger than it had been the first time she’d looked through his eyes. You’re in your wolf form!Yes, I am. We don’t lose our intelligence. We do become wilder and untamed, primal even, but we keep our human senses when we become adults, anyway. Cubs generally blackout their first year or two. Do you see them?Cole turned his head, looking out across the distance. There were forms moving silently among

“Oh nothing, we’re just making room. I still have more questions for you though, if you’re still willing to answer them of course.”The man moved forward but he stopped again at those words. “Well? Go on. I’m getting quite tired of standing here.”“Well, you said that Hollywood has it wrong and wolves cannot transmit their ability to shift forms. If it can’t be transmitted in that way, why do you think that the key to their healing abilities lies in something that can even be researched and discovered? I mean, if that were the case, wouldn’t their ability to shift be something that they could transmit through a scratch or a bite or something like that?”Amanda saw the grey wolf’s ear twitch and turn slightly toward the other end of the hall. Amanda still couldn’t hear them but she knew that the wolves must be able to hear them already.The scientist stood there for a moment looking stumped. His brows knit, then rose, then he frowned and his face began to turn a shade of reddish-purple
