Could that be true? Is that why the term wolf-segen sounded familiar? A historical fact he buried along with other information about lycan society. But why kill her kind?
Giles shook his head. “I thought the werewolf was invented in your chimera labs along with the dogmen.”
“No. Lycans have existed for millennia.”
Giles frowned. “And why would werewolves kill wolf charmers?”
“Because, a wolf charmer can reveal the wolf inside the man or woman.”
Kane scoffed. “Where did you hear that?”
“From your lycan history manuscript,” said Avery. “Your kind called the proclamation the Edict of Segner 1590. It states every wolf-segen is to be eradicated.”
Giles mumbled. “She can identify werewolves?”
“Yes. Her kind was the perfect weapon for outing a werewolf. A weapon that will serve me well.”
“She is an innocent,” said Kane.
“If your memory ever returns, you will understand that even in these modern times a werewolf must always kill a wolf charmer.”
No one, not man or werewolf, would ever harm Gaby.
Giles sneered. “Gaby can be very stubborn.”
“After she ran away, you tortured her for a year until she complied, so I doubt she’ll give me any problems.” Avery’s gaze turned to the dark room next to his cage. “In there, in the dark and alone. With the exception of when you took her out and jolted her until she begged for death, isn’t that right?”
“She needed convincing,” snapped Giles.
Kane glared at Giles. She had run away at fifteen, which meant she was not even an adult when he tortured her. Giles lowered his gaze.
Avery barked. “Giles, the alpha werewolf is mesmerizing you.”
Giles shook his head. “What…did…you say?”
“Never mind. You will never reveal that werewolves exist. I’ll share our secret to prevent their mind control when we get the truth out of him.” Avery dragged Giles away from Kane and whispered in his ear, “Unfortunately, there is no hiding a lie from them.”
Whispering didn’t help, but then again the ass knew that. Kane scoffed. “Gives me an edge doesn’t it?”
Avery narrowed his eyes. “I’m more than happy to share the truth with you, Prince Steele.”
Giles looked confused but nodded. “What if he shifts?”
Avery turned to Kane. “You will stay in human form, won’t you?”
“I prefer to kill you in wolf form,” Kane growled.
“I saw your reaction to Gaby being tortured. If you go wolf, I’ll bring her in and shock her into oblivion, that is, until you turn human.”
Kane could withstand any amount of torture, but he would do anything to protect Gaby. “Leave her out of it.” He gritted his teeth. “I’ll stay in human form.”
“That’s a good wolf. Let’s hope the serum revives your memory. A win-win for both of us, Prince Steele.”
His inner wolf longed to rip out Avery’s heart for threatening Gaby, but maybe he was right. The drug could awaken his memory. Betray his kind.
Avery opened a silver box containing a small tranquilizer gun and then loaded it with a syringe. “Truth serum, powerful enough to make an entire troop of marines reveal every secret.” He tilted his head. “Though you are royal, I suspect you serve the lycan army. This would explain why you were on a mission over the Atlantic.”
The ocean. The sensation of drowning triggered fear, but no memory.
