Chapter Eighteen

Gray jerked upright in her restraints, peering into the murky half-light, focusing on the figure standing just outside her cell. Born to hunt in the dark, she could easily make out the female form, the shoulder-length hair, the long neck and full breasts. She didn’t have a name for the woman, but she knew her scent. A lush, verdant smell like crushed flowers after a heavy rain. A powerful scent, intensely female. She had the feeling the woman had been standing there for a while, perhaps talking to her, but she had been drifting. Not asleep. She didn’t think she’d slept since they’d brought her to this place, or the place before this one. Sometimes after she’d been in the lab and they’d given her drugs and done things to her body, she lost track of time. Sometimes when they didn’t come for her after hours of hanging suspended from the shackles around her wrists, her mind broke free, and she’d dream of running, of shifting, of smelling the world so fresh and clear, of tussling with her Packmates, of tangling on the forest floor, nude and exhilarated after the hunt. When she found herself back in the cell, unable to shift, locked away from sunlight and the mountain air, those memories nourished her.

“Who are you?” Gray asked.

“You’re awake. Good,” came the low, sultry voice. Long, elegant fingers wrapped around the bars of her cage. “You’re very beautiful—in that dangerous way all wild animals are beautiful. Do you know that?”

“What do you want?” Gray asked.

The woman laughed softly. “Nothing very complicated. Just to understand you. Isn’t that what your leaders want? Why they revealed you to us? For humans to know you?”

“Why are you keeping us prisoner?”

“We could move you and your friend to more comfortable quarters if you cooperated. If you didn’t fight us.”

Anger simmered in Gray’s belly, and her wolf raged, demanding to be freed to fight. Holding her down was getting harder and harder to do. She panted with the effort.

“Oh yes,” the woman murmured, her voice sliding over Gray’s skin like a hot tongue. “You are wild, aren’t you? Wild and excited. Do you want to hurt me, or do you want to fuck me?”

The woman leaned her body against the bars, her hips lifting and falling ever so subtly. Gray didn’t want to tangle with her. She wanted to tear her apart. Her canines lengthened, and her claws shot out. She growled.

“That excites you, doesn’t it?” The woman laughed and brushed one hand over her breasts. “Perhaps that’s how we need to prepare you for the lab. You’re filling up right now, aren’t you?”

Gray snarled, rage and helplessness driving her to the edge of control. She thrashed against her restraints, the pain only inciting her wolf more.

“That’s enough now. Enough for tonight,” the woman said after watching Gray struggle for a few minutes. “We wouldn’t want you to waste any of that precious fluid, would we? Tomorrow you’ll be doubly ready.” She backed away from the cage and whispered, “Good night, my beautiful animal.
