Chapter Fifteen

Jaxon tried to keep his panic, and the pounding pressure that this was wrong, from Joey. Walking along next to him, she was so brave. He wanted to kill every single Death Stalker in the world for making her walk this corridor with him. For frightening her. She was scared too, hiding it behind her courage, but she trembled and he could see the way the pipe and letter opener shook in her hands until she tightened her grip.

Viktor, knew it too. The wolf had changed everything Jaxon had ever held against the pack. He’d saved Joey’s life. He’d killed the bastard who had shot her. Jaxon knew it in his bones.

“Slow, stop here,” he whispered to Joey.

Viktor paused, hackles up and his wolf form tense with strength. Jaxon stopped Joey with a hand on her stomach and held her back as he eased his head around the sill of the door.

Fuck! The room was full—not of Death Stalkers, but of the caged, chained wolf creatures. Some of them were marked like tigers, some had grey coats, some even looked more like lynx than tigers or wolves, but all held the intelligent eyes of a mind trapped in an animal form.

He estimated twenty of the creatures.

There were others in the room as well. One man stood by a cage, writing something on a clipboard, while inside an animal lay on its side, panting, paws twitching as if it were dreaming. The place looked like an enormous hospital wing, missing the equipment used to save lives. Instead, it held cages and silver tables the size and shape you’d see in a lab or morgue. He counted six cages on one side, six on another and two immortals or mortals tied to two tables in the middle of a raised platform. They were either out of it, or dead, or simply quiet. Another two men stood by them, while a woman worked at a computer console with five screens.

Gerald was nowhere in sight.

That meant there were four Death Stalkers, and potentially twelve—animals—to either aid them or fight against them. He spotted a silver collar on a wolf, much like the one on Viktor, and the beast looked normal, again, more like a Lykae than a wolf-tiger-lynx.

He breathed in deeply and scented mages. The air nearly vibrated with their power. Ducking back behind the doorway, he immediately squatted and motioned Viktor closer. Joey was already at his side, her slim shoulder touching his arm.

“Here’s the layout.” He drew the room quickly in the dust, showing the centre area with the two men on the tables and the cages with the animals. “Here, here and here are the enemy, and possibly the caged animals. We won’t release any of those until we know for sure. I scent demon.” He paused, and Viktor nodded. “Maybe a vamp, young though,” he added. Viktor nodded again. “And a few mages, but I also saw what I think is a Lykae. I say we free him.” He marked the spot where the wolf paced, and Viktor nodded.
