Gaby didn’t like the “was human” part. Were humans turned into werewolves? Not that she was opposed to being married to a werewolf, but she had no desire to become one. She kept silent as Rachel took her blood pressure.
“You have a deep scrape on your elbow, probably from falling, but no stitches needed. I gave you a tetanus booster and an antibiotic.” She checked Gaby’s eyes. “Anyway, you are good to go.”
Gaby looked out the door with longing. “I’m free to leave?”
“I meant from under my care.”
“Where’s Kane?”
“Steele is resting.”
“Prince Steele, I know.” She sighed. “I want to see him.”
Rachel handed her a bag. “Here are your clothes. I’ll call Cricket and tell her you are ready.”
Why not my husband? Was he really resting or being tortured? She wanted answers, not to be toyed with. She remained calm. “Who?”
“Cricket was part of the team that rescued you and Steele.” She smiled. “Small for a she-wolf, but one of our best operatives.”
Gaby frowned. “The bitch who stuck a hypodermic needle in my neck?”
“A harmless human tranquilizer. Trust me. The less you know the better. Those are the rules until you choose to sign the non-disclosure contract.”
Being part of Project Sabertooth, she knew what would happen if she revealed their operation, but still why not ask? “And if I don’t?”
Rachel sighed. “A decision will be made.”
“Meaning?”
“If you can be compelled to forget or if not, execution.”
Gaby swallowed. “If I’m compelled, will I forget knowing Ka...Steele?”
“Yes.” She shrugged. “To be honest, there is the risk a good hypnotherapist could make you remember. My father also believes a strong serum can awaken your memories as well. Not that people will believe you, but you never know.”
“I’ll sign it.” She cocked her head. “I thought compelling someone not to remember was permanent.”
“Actually, most humans we compel never remember, with the exception of those that developed a strong emotional attachment to a werewolf.”
“Like love?”
“Yes.” She smiled. “I might as well tell you, I was in the same boat you were in not too long ago.”
Horror struck every fiber of her core. They meant to turn her as part of the contract. “You mean human and in love?”
“Yes.”
Gaby flinched. “I won’t become one of you.”
“Don’t worry, you won’t turn werewolf.”
“But you chose to?”
“My situation was unique and somewhat accidental.”
“Oh?” Falling down steps or spilling milk was accidental, not becoming a werewolf.
“Lev, who led your rescue, is my mate. He’s not your usual werewolf. He is a mutant and unbeknownst to us, when he bit me to heal me, he changed my DNA.”
