Avery aimed and shot him in the shoulder. Kane growled and removed the dart. I’m going to kill you. Dizzy, he sat on the ground, a sliver of saliva dripped from his gaping mouth.
Gaby worried about Kane. It had been two days since they took him to the treatment center. Zapped, drugged and tortured for answers he didn’t have. He really had amnesia. Would they believe him or would he die? Cold and alone, like she almost had. She needed to rescue him. How?
Gaby called Giles. She told him she was coming to see him. He agreed.
“Gaby, I’m so happy you called to visit. You need to start packing.” Giles gestured for her to sit.
She sat. Her heart sank. He must be sending her to California to make the hit. “With Orion?”
“No. Ken is leaving tomorrow to take care of the target.”
Her skin grew cold. Ken was their snake man. He used venomous snakes and on occasion constrictors to take out targets. “Why so soon?” She read the target’s file and memorized his phone number. After escaping, she planned to text Phil Renshaw a warning about his assassination.
“Apparently, the hit needs to take place as soon as possible.”
Ken would use a snake found in Phil’s area. “But a rattlesnake is not guaranteed to kill him,” she protested.
“Ken knows what he’s doing.”
“So where am I going?”
“You will accompany Avery to his facilit
y.”
Her stomach knotted. “Why?”
Giles blew out a long breath. “He knows you are a wolf-segen.”
Realization dawned on her. “He used truth serum to get it out of Kane.”
“Avery knew before he arrived. He broke into my encrypted files.”
I knew this would happen sooner or later. “So he plans to use me to control beasts.”
“Not exactly.”
She frowned. “What do you mean?”
“He intends for you to find werewolves like Kane or Steele, whoever he really is.”
“That’s ridiculous.”
“I didn’t believe it at first. I assumed werewolves didn’t exist. I thought they’d been created in the chimera labs. I was wrong. They exist beneath our very own noses.”
Gaby kept up the pretense. “How could I possibly know who is a werewolf?”
He narrowed his eyes at her. “Cut the crap. You know you can.”
She flinched. “He’s mistaken.”
“While drugged, the werewolf confirmed your ability. And that you lied to me by claiming your charm works on him when it doesn’t.”
Shit. “So what else did he reveal while under truth serum?”
“Nothing more about his pack or his real name. He really has lost his memory.”
“Is he still drugged?”
