“When he arrived, he had a crushed skull. A severe concussion and bleeding in the brain. Surgery relieved the pressure, but we don’t know how much mental damage he sustained or how long his amnesia will last. The interesting thing is he healed faster than man or wolf after such an injury.”
“When he regains consciousness, he may not be so cooperative.”
“Whether you seduce him or not, use your wolf charm.”
“Only if he stays in wolf form. As you know, I can’t influence humans.” Nor did she want to deal with such a good-looking one.
“I’ll leave you alone. When you get hungry, let the cook know.”
“Fine. But what if he gets hungry?”
“We have plenty of meat, raw or cooked.”
“And if he prefers human meat?”
“No wolf has ever attacked a wolf charmer.”
“Yeah, but what about the man?”
Director Giles and the medic left.
Gaby turned on the tablet and read the medical report. Huh? She re-read it, slowly. No wolf healed that fast. Not from such substantial injuries.
Chapter 2
In wolf form, he lifted his head and blinked. Confused. Still caged? By humans? The man in charge had gone, but the beautiful brunette with compelling green eyes remained. Her scent, alluring. Had he known her? A lover, perhaps? She seemed familiar. Someone he could trust. A mate? They claimed they didn’t know his identity, and worse, he didn’t either. They appeared shocked about his ability to shift from wolf to man. Though he had no memory, his ability seemed natural. Were there others like him or was he the only one? Odd, he understood their language and equipment. Although, everything prior to waking up here drew a blank. Why? Who was responsible? His hackles rose.
He stood. His legs trembled from the effort. Muscles weak. How long had he been unconscious? Weeks or months? Didn’t the man from earlier say the sedative would bring his memories back? He steadied his body, shook his fur and stretched. He
drank from the bowl of water and felt rejuvenated. Healed. No more headaches. Just hunger. No doubt they’d feed him, soon. If he shifted to human form, he could communicate with them.
The wolf considered the young woman studying him. He wagged his tail at her. He couldn’t help it. The twenty-something brunette had a slender build, long legs and shapely in the right places. Luscious shoulder-length brown hair with hints of gold. She turned to pick up a tablet and her round ass singed him with burning desire. Her sparkling jade-colored eyes complemented her beautiful face. Her essence soothed his nerves. The connection strong. Regardless of how he felt about this beautiful woman, to learn more about this place and her, he willed himself to shift from wolf to man. Heat traveled through his spine and in seconds, he stood. Naked.
She gasped. Staring at him as if she saw an apparition rather than gawking at his body as he hoped.
He smiled. “You always stare at naked men?”
She blushed and turned. “No…but…sorry.”
He grabbed the sheet, covering the area below his abs. “I’m decent now.”
She slowly turned and blew out a long breath. “I’ll get you some clothes.” She picked up her cell phone.
“Wait. Not yet.”
He sensed her quickened heartbeat. She held the phone tight. “I’m not in charge. Director Giles is.”
“I don’t trust him.” The man reeked of deception. He gazed at her. Damn, he trusted her despite the fact he remained locked in a cage. After all, she worked for Giles.
She tilted her chin toward a camera. “By now, our security guard has told him you are human, again.”
Fur lined his arms and large canines emerged. He growled and shook the cage door.
She flinched and jumped back.
Crap. I scared the shit out of her. He slowly released a breath. His fangs receded. “What is this place?”
She remained frozen, but sputtered, “An animal behavior lab.”
