“They killed half breeds. They hurt everyone who came into that room. It’s dangerous. Tell everyone what is happening.”
What was happening?
Zeke ran through the trees, chasing after her. Images flashed in his mind, and they were all of Mary’s memories of what happened in that room in the basement. He stumbled at the horror her wolf had remembered. Mary’s wolf hadn’t forgotten anything. She’d saved the memories waiting for the right moment to show Mary.
“We had to wait for him. He will protect us.”
Mary had been drugged keeping her docile as they injected her with all kinds of drugs. They had been finding a drug that would harm, even kill full breeds. Roger and Dani had been greedy wanting the power that such a drug would give them.
He stopped as he recognized his sister. Mary was collapsed on the floor, her body hurt and bruised as she stared at the table. His sister fought, screaming out, crying out, warning them that her death would be avenged.
“She lived.”
Her wolf spoke to him. He couldn’t let her get away. Setting off at a run, he chased after Mary. Picking up his pace he got to the edge of the waterfall in time to watch her jump off. Following her down, he saw her break the surface as a human. Her female scream was the last thing he heard before he went under.
Breaking the surface, he heard her screaming. She was holding onto the grass on the other side. Her body was wet and naked as she held onto the grass. The screaming stopped suddenly. Swimming to her side, he put his hand on her back, wanting to offer her comfort.
“I remember,” she said. “I can’t believe I went back there month after month.”
She coughed. Her fingers sank into the grass, her nails covered in dirt. Placing his hands on either side of her head he pressed kisses to the back of her neck trying to take the awful memories away.
“I’m here.”
“How can they have taken my memories?” she asked, glancing at him over her shoulder.
“Your wolf took the memories to help you deal with what was happening to you. She was waiting for the right time when you were both protected.” Her wolf was waiting for him. He sensed it more now than ever before.
Her body was shaking but not from cold.
“You talk about my wolf as if it’s another being looking after me.”
Pressing a hand to her chest covering her heart, he kissed her neck. “Your wolf is here. She knows what is best for you. She saw the danger and did everything she could to keep you safe.”
The wolf and human were as one. He loved the feel of his wolf and accepted him within his body.
“The woman on the table, do you remember her?” he asked.
“Yes. She was pushed into a cage beside me. I remember her sniffing me.” Mary turned in his arms, staring up at him. “She told me you wouldn’t stop until you found me.”
His family had known he’d been looking for the woman he’d bitten for some time. “Her name was Debbie. She was my sister and went missing over a year ago. What happened to her?”
“She escaped. I remember her tearing through the bars as if they meant nothing. She was the first full breed they tried to experiment on. I don’t know what else happened to her.” Mary stared up at him with tears in her eyes. “They were trying to hurt all other packs.”
Pushing the hair off her face, he stared into her eyes. Stroking her cheek, Zeke was so proud of her surviving even down to remembering his sister.
“Did they succeed?” she asked.
“I don’t know. I’ll have to get in touch with my father. His pack is based several miles away.” Tilting her head back he saw she was pale. “I’ve never seen a half breed change so quickly.”
“I’ve never changed without the help of the full moon.” She licked her lips. The image of his cock disappearing in her mouth flashed across his mind.
Leaning down, he pressed his lips to hers. Her hands went to his shoulders, holding onto him. Wrapping a hand around her waist he tugged her closer. Plunging his tongue into her mouth, he closed his eyes relishing the taste of her skin.
