He narrowed his eyes at the big Russian. “If you compel me to forget Gaby, I’ll fight it for sure.”
“Not to worry,” said Lev. “I cannot do so, at least, not permanently. First, we will regress to days before your mission.”
“Let’s do it.”
“Look into my eyes,” said Lev.
He met Lev’s glowing blue eyes. Mesmerizing.
“Close your eyes. Prince Steele, see yourself before your last mission.”
He shut his eyes. “My home. I packed and went to see…my brother…the king.”
“Go back to before you packed, what or who do you see?”
He walked to the research facility w
ith the head of security and his friend. “Trevor patted me on the back. Then I came here to Dr. Becker’s office.”
“Go on.”
Steele slipped back in time.
Dressed in Team Greywolf’s uniform, Steele entered Dr. Becker’s office. “I decided to take the potion with me.”
The human doctor with graying hair gestured him to sit. “Are you sure? The drug has only been tested a few times.”
“Yes, I know. Dr. Mark warned me, I may never return to my old self.”
“Do you really want to risk remaining a wolf forever?”
“If I’m captured, I don’t want to reveal our kind’s existence.” If the enemy kept him locked up for more than three or four days, he’d shift, exposing the world to his secret.
“Yes, sir.” Becker took out a small box, opened it and retrieved a fake tooth. “It is contained inside the molar. You press back with your thumb to trigger the release then bite down. It can only release while in human form. You have ten minutes or less to hide and go wolf.”
“Trust me, it won’t come to that. I’ll only use it if there is no other option.”
“In the event you use the drug, it might take up as much as three months to return from wolf to human. Worse, you will have no memory of your human life while a wolf.” He sighed. “Humans are more likely to kill a wolf than a human.”
“I know.”
“If the king learns you might take the experimental drug, he’d have not only my head but Rylee’s as well.”
“Better than betraying my kind the way my father did. I’m sure Conan would be dethroned.”
“Just return in one piece and, hopefully, without resorting to the drug.” Dr. Becker smiled. “I heard you chose a mate.”
Steele rolled his eyes. “You mean Princess Kiara?”
“Yes.”
“She must be spreading rumors everywhere.”
Becker frowned. “You mean it’s not true?”
“I only agreed to date her and that was only to please my brother. Nothing more.” He frowned. “Who told you?”
“Dr. Mark mentioned it was a done deal. He is her physician and she met with him recently for a physical.”
