Chapter Thirteen

Jade stared intently at her screen, trying to make sense of what she was reading. The text was fascinating, and she’d been devouring the old books, trying to find some clue as to how the mages figured out how to control humans. As far as she could tell, there were at least six separate sources from all over the world that talked about this kind of magic.

The knowledge itself didn’t seem to come from one single source, and she wondered how Stefan was able to gather all the information. It must have taken the mage years, traveling thousands of miles to find the right people and encantations. One of the books was translated from old Norwegian and talked about the runes, while another book in Swahili had at least the first part of the necessary spell. But, finding out how he got the spell was only a minor part. How it worked, and more importantly, how to stop it, were the more crucial tasks at hand.

In the beginning, she put off having to interview Marcus. Fear and apprehension prevented her from even looking at the mage. He had, after all, orchestrated her kidnapping and detention. The Alpha had been generous, giving her as much time as she needed before confronting Marcus. However, the clan needed her. She was the only person who could figure out how the mages were controlling the humans and how to stop them. Now, she was ready to face Marcus.

“Jade!” Meredith called from the main lab downstairs. The other Lycan was late. Usually, Meredith arrived at the lab at the same time or just before Jade arrived, escorted by one of the Lycan security people. Jade was surprised to find the lab empty that morning, but it meant she could work in peace.

“Good morning,” Jade replied as she descended the staircase.

“Sorry, I’m late,” Meredith said, plopping herself on her favorite office chair. The blonde Lycan had declared it her princess chair, and covered it in pink and purple glitter stickers, writing “Princess Meredith” all over the back. Jade had warned her that was vandalism, to which she replied, “Awesome. Put it on my tab.”

“What happened?”

“There was some excitement with my roommates.” She rolled her eyes. Her “roommates” were Marcus and Daric, who were detained on the same floor as her, deep in Fenrir Corporation’s super secret, secure bunker. Meredith had never actually seen either of them during her time there nor shared a room with them, but said roommates sounded much better than fellow prisoners. “Anyway, the security guys were tied up, not literally—but damn, have you seen that Tate Miller? Anyway, they were all busy, so there was no one to bring me here.”

“Well, I was just working, so no worries,” she turned to walk back up the stairs, but Meredith used her cat-like reflexes to bounce from her chair and catch her arm, spinning her around.

“Hold on, young lady! Aren’t you going to tell me what happened last night?”

Jade clamped her mouth shut, her face going red all the way to the tips of her ears.
