Breck backed away before he dissolved and raced into an adjacent pathway. Ferguson took up the chase, entering the same stream less than a second behind him.

Riley approached Colton as his alpha receded. “I wouldn’t want to be Breck right now.”

Colton resumed his human form. “Me either, but he needs to be wary. Breck is faster, stronger than he was before.”

“How is that possible?” Riley asked.

“I don’t know. I’m hoping Ferguson will ask him before he kills him.”

She glanced at the clinic door. “Since Ferguson is chasing Breck, are we going to investigate the clinic further?”

“The clinic is still open so we can’t go into the exam rooms, but the file room is empty. If we close the door, we can see if there’s more information on Hakim’s involvement.”

“We need to get a list of women they are targeting. Perhaps I can find the program on the computer and print it off,” she said.

Colton nodded. “That’s a good idea. If we get the list, then we can have the shadows watch them. We know the soldiers are expendable. If we can kill off the first generation and prevent the king from entering our realm, we have a chance of avoiding our destruction.”

“Are we going to take a pathway into the clinic?”

“I’m not sure if the other reaper is still in the waiting room. It would be best to enter through the rear door. The file room is close to this exit.”

They opened the back door, ducked into the file room, and quickly closed the door behind them. Riley sat down at the computer, searching for the files on women related to the Haitian village. She was sure she had found the correct program, but frowned when she opened it.

Colton leaned over the computer. “What is that?”

She read the name on the file. “I don’t know. This is part of the search parameters but I don’t recognize the name and this is in the list.”

“What is it?” Colton asked.

“It’s a DNA profile, but there is... I think this is a recipe.”

Colton’s eyebrows arched. “For what?”

“A serum.”

“The one they injected into Leah?”

Riley typed in several commands. “Maybe. My name is listed. My blood was part of that serum.”

“We knew Hakim stole your blood for the demons. I’m not surprised they are using it in the serum,” Colton said.

“That’s the thing. It isn’t just my blood. There’s something else. Hakim’s maybe?” she said.

“There is a results link. They injected this subject with this serum a week ago.”

“What happened to her?”

Riley clicked the link. “As of yesterday, she is still alive.”

Colton swore under his breath. “Is there any other information in the file?”

Riley swallowed hard. “The final note says, possible breeder.”
