Chapter Twenty-Nine

Aren

While I haggled with Adam and Sasha over some sort of plan to take care of Fonthill, I noticed Lana hunched over her laptop. Her fingers moved in flurries over the keyboard, and her expression went from concerned, to intrigued, and finally to frustration.

Someone knocked at the front door before I could ask her what she found. My shoulders tensed. It was after eleven o’clock at night, past bedtime for door-to-door salesmen and religious missionaries. I gestured to my brother to stay put, my instinct to protect my Alpha kicking into high gear, and headed for the door.

I recognized the scent before I reached for the handle and opened the door a crack.

“Sebastian.” I glanced past him. “Alone?”

“Until you alert the neighborhood,” he grumbled.

I stepped aside to allow him in, keeping myself between the jaguar and Adam. “What brings you here?” Sebastian’s dark eyes locked with Sasha’s and a surge of jealousy stabbed my chest. “I asked you a question.”

He finally turned my way. “I have information, but I would be happy to walk out of the door and cease putting my own life in jeopardy.”

“Wait.” Lana got up from her chair. “Please, come in.”

I followed him into the room, kind of hoping he would make a move so I could beat the crap out of him. Sebastian took Lana’s hand and kissed her knuckles in a cheesy gesture that went out of style a hundred years ago.

“Motherhood agrees with you, Little One.” He turned toward Sasha. She brought her hands up to her hips before he could reach for her, making me smile. He straightened up. “It is good to see you, too, Sasha. Living among wolves hasn’t improved your manners.”

“Spare me, Sebastian.” She rolled her eyes. “You risked a lot to come here. Spill it.”

He raised a brow. “‘A heavy weight of hours has chained and bowed one too like thee: tameless, and swift, and proud.’”

Lana moved back around her laptop. “Percy Shelley, right? Mary Shelley’s husband?”

“Like Frankenstein’s Mary Shelley?” I shook my head, ready to knock the information loose if he didn’t stop speaking in cryptic poetry.

“Exactly.” He focused on Sasha. “I located a file on the Lycan Squad experiments.”

I glared at Sebastian. “So what did you find?”

He kept his attention on Sasha and Lana. “The government had a top-secret contract with Nero. A program called Operation Moonlight. Severino began recruiting werewolves to join the military in hopes they could become powerful weapons to protect our nation. The unexpected pack mentality of the race proved inefficient for assassins, but the military brass saw an opportunity to use them as a unit.”

Adam’s brow furrowed. “The Lycan Squad.”

“Yes.” Sebastian turned his attention toward Adam. “Operation Moonlight was closed, and a new project started. With the government’s help we began to assemble the Lycan Squad, and it was quickly determined that a trained squad of Green Beret werewolf soldiers would be unstoppable if—”

“If they could shift anytime without waiting for a full moon,” I interrupted. Sebastian seemed almost proud
