The word 'truth' pressed against Lena's chest, sharp and heavy. After years in the shadows, unseen and unheard, she was suddenly at the center of something far bigger than herself.“Dr. Moreau,” a calm voice said. “John Lowell. Mr. Vaughn’s assistant. We need to speak, privately.”Her brows knitted. “Mr. Vaughn? Sebastian Vaughn?”“Yes.
