She knew what he wanted to hear. Now she had to hope he believed what she was about to tell him came from her heart. “Now I’m part of all of you, all of this,” she whispered, tears filling her eyes.
Don’t make me leave. Not when I just found you. Not when I love you.
She waited what seemed like an eternity while they both looked at her, deciding her fate. Her stomach rolled, pain coursing through her. What if they made her leave, or something even worse?
“Tell us everything you know,” Adrian said, sitting down and pointing to the couch. “Now that you’re one of us, your inside information can help us free the hostages.”
She hadn’t realized she’d held her breath so long until she finally expelled it, her legs so weak she fell onto the couch next to him.
Finally, she felt like she belonged.
Harlee told them where she worked, her security clearance, everything she’d done and found out about the lycans and vampires that were being held at the government location.
“They’re fine. They’re fed and taken care of. As far as I know, they haven’t been harmed, but my clearance isn’t that high. All I do is talk to them. I’m not privy to a lot of the experimentation that’s being done on them.”
But she was guilty by association. The government had held them against their will for years, trying to find out the whereabouts of the lycan and vampire nation headquarters by hypnosis and by drugging them and by God only knows what other methods she knew nothing about.
“But as far as you know they hadn’t revealed anything,” Adrian said.
She shook her head, feeling miserable that she had taken part in these experiments. How could she have known, though? Still, why didn’t she feel the part of her that was lycan and vampire? Why didn’t that part of her prevent her from persecuting her own people? She felt miserable inside. Miserable and guilty.
“Okay,” Adrian said, standing and pacing. “This is what we have to do first.”
Duncan’s cell phone rang and he pulled it to his ear, then shut it just as quickly and turned to them. “An attempt has been made on William’s life. Silver bullet. Lester’s frantic. I’ve got to go.” He looked to Harlee and then back at Adrian.
“Go. I’ll grab Sara and Annmarie. We’ll guard Harlee.”
Duncan nodded and hurried from the room.
“Shit. This isn’t good. Something is going on and it’s happening all at once. This is a concentrated effort to take down all the higher-ups in the lycan and vampire organization. Come with me,” Adrian said, holding out his hand to Harlee and leading her from the room.
