Semua Bab The White Wolf: Bab 41 - Bab 50

Miriam was recalled to the lab to consult with Dr. Sawyer and the elders. We were finally in a place of mutual respect, but she didn’t treat me the same anymore. I think I scared her. Her interest in my father also changed after that day. I felt selfish that I was secretly happy.After dinner each night, my father and I sat on the porch, giving us time to continue getting to know one another. The topics were random, ranging from telling silly stories to life goals and dreams. He was so interesting to talk to, having had an exciting career, although he never talked about the tours he was on beyond their location.“What’s your goal as a leader?” I asked, being the head of a whole unit, which was impressive.“My pack is unusual since the membership is fluid. Shifters who join the military are displaced from their home packs. Rogue wolves are provided with a chance to connect with others. My goal is to keep my unit solid and safe.”“Sinclair’s interest in it wasn’t logical.”“In defeating

Geneticists working for Dr. Sawyer were dispatched to maximum-security prisons nationwide. The Colonel’s connections at the Department of Justice got ADX Florence in Colorado added to their list. The Supermax prison held the most violent offenders who were expelled from other prisons. San Quentin, Cooks County, and Pelican Bay were also on the list. Now, over five hundred prisoners have offered to be part of the study.The participants were divided into two groups: violent offenders and serial killers. All had the confirmed genetics of the MAOA warrior genes. The genes we learned were on the X chromosome, which explained why mostly males carried the traits. Male sex chromosomes are XY, while females have XX. Oddly enough, this means that the trait is given to a son by his mother.The antisocial behaviors are displayed even in childhood, especially when there is maltreatment or trauma present. All aggressive and violent animals were permanently suppressed in Dr. Sawyer’s animal trials,

“Boomer,” my dad called out to his friend when we appeared on the lawn. “I’m glad you made it, my friend.” The endearment made Ghost relax his guard. I ran into the house since I still had to use the bathroom.I returned, and everyone was dressed and sitting on the patio having coffee. “You met my daughter, Esmerelda,” Dad said proudly.“She gave me quite a show in the forest. How’d you get a witch for a daughter? I’d say you were lying, but she is your spitting image.”“Just lucky, I guess.” Dad winked at me. “Em, Bommer is here to see Doc’s video feed. Another round of serum will be administered today at Supermax. The bear shifters have had some tangles with hunters in the Pocono Mountains.”“Are there shifters for every animal?” Dad and Boomer looked at one another and chuckled.“No, darlin’. Only top predators.” Boomer laughed.“Diesel started breakfast. You have time for a shower before it’s ready, “ Dad said. My eyes met Ghost’s, which had already started to darken.“Great.” I p

The group was anxious to see if the transfusion was successful. I was still apprehensive about going through the change again. The following morning was all the reprieve I would get.“Esmerelda, its time.”My father and Ghost led me to the far side of the property, where we would have some privacy.“Find your center, and breathe.” Ghost stripped off his clothes while my father guided me. “Feel your heart beating. Feel the blood rushing through your veins. Clear your mind. Call your wolf.”“I’m not alone.”“Good. Feel her. Invite her forward.”“Esmerelda.” Ghost sensed my apprehension.“It’s going to hurt. Bones will break. My skin will tear.”“Yes. The more you practice, the quicker and easier it will become.” I began again. The trauma of transfiguration was still present. My wolf and I agreed.“She’s not ready.” My father nodded to Ghost. Ghost was gone in the blink of an eye, and a beautiful giant black wolf appeared.“Hey, handsome.” Ghost was a majestic wolf.“Does your wolf want

Dad recovered and was resting peacefully. When Miriam called him, Doctor Sawyer immediately came to Quantico. Both doctors were comparing theories about the transfer of power through the transfusion. We were all seated in the living room, speculating. “Blood is primarily made of red blood cells and plasma. A red blood cell’s life span is about one hundred and twenty days. By then, new blood would replace the old.” “What if witch blood has different properties? It sings.” “We’ll have to see. He was exhausted after a few spells, which is typical.” “How did he know what to do?” Diesel asked. “Esmerelda’s magic is mostly instinctual. Proper witches spend a lifetime learning spells and control. She has done things that the most accomplished witch can’t do.” “Doc, who is Lilith in witch history?” Ghost asked. “Alice called Esmerelda Lilith after seeing the white wolf.” Miriam clarified. “According to the bible, Lilith was Adam’s first wife. She was a witch and wanted to be seen a
