"Two fe those who need it, you know The feet theround, and Doc Mitchell eyed hiret
"It’s over, Hank It was a harebrained schein with"
He spoke to Ryan "The scientist’s nao and joined our pack a year ago He gives the irunted
"That’s debatable, considering what hiscould cost our kind," Ryan said "Where is he?"
"In the base to the house
"Hell Everyone stay put"
Ryan headed for the open bedroom , ready to end this now
Ryan held his gun at the ready as he located a door off the kitchen that he’d assuht switch, hestairs to the baseht caes of a door, but when Ryan reached it, he found it locked The blood thundering in his ears, he holstered his gun and used his lock picks Once he heard the soft click, he put away his lock picks, pulled his gun out, steeled himself for trouble, and then twisted the door handle
He expected to face a un, but instead he saw a room exactly as Carol had described to hi on the as dark Sconces hung on the walls and shot soft light upward toward the ceiling, showing off the gold walls Leather chairs were companions to a leather sofa, and all were brand new, their leather fragrance per smelled new, too No moldy odor down here, and the paint was fresh
If he’d had any doubts about Carol’s psychic talents, this was proof she had theht with hiht have been here once before But he shoved the notion aside The chances she would ever have been here were miniscule at best She truly was psychic
A door off the living area was shut, and soft country western music played overhead Ryan moved quickly across the carpeted floor He twisted the handle No resistance Miller wasn’t expecting the troops Or he was just plain crazy, despite what Hank had said
Slowly, Ryan opened the door Definitely a lab with tables and a couple of stools, a microscope, beakers, some jars filled with liquids, and others filled with powdery substances, as well as all-white, sterile-looking cabinets The s clinked in an adjoining rooh the open doorway This rooainst one wall, a neat desk with all the papers stacked in a tray, and a toilet visible in another se, a coffees, and a microwave oven sat on a counter, and the aroma of cinnamon rolls per himself a cup He wore a lab coat, black pants, and brown slippers He was a husky man, a little over six feet tall and much taller than uard And he had, but only for an instant Miller whipped around, his bearded jaw dropping, his yellow eyes narrowed, and blond hair sweeping his shoulders Miller threw the hot cup of coffee at Ryan, yanked off his lab coat to reveal his bare chest, and then kicked off his slippers and jerked off his pants
Ignoring the burning-hot coffee soaking his shirt and chest, Ryan fired two rounds as Miller shifted and lunged at him The bullets both struck the wolf’s chest, but because of his hefty size and the shot of adrenaline that had to be running through his systeun and yanked off his clothes as quickly as he could, but Miller knocked hirowled, his teeth bared
"You’re a deaddown on his chest ripped Miller’s neck with every ounce of strength he possessed "…unless you give us the vaccine"
Considering the fate they all faced, Ryan was sure Miller wouldn’t be allowed to live He was too dangerous--and he knew it Then again, Ryan was at a distinct disadvantage, and he i at his boastful threats
Soallop, and Ryan assu to his rescue When he saw Carol as a wolf, Ryan’s heart did a flip
Miller turned to face the snarling, growling female wolf that was Ryan’s mate, and as he did, Ryan tried to shove him off Unsuccessfully
Miller stayed where he was, his hefty size pinning Ryan down, but his attention remained focused on Carol
She snapped at his flank with her wicked teeth, and he reater threat once he shifted--pinned to the floor
She moved behind Miller and bit his stiff tail He yelped and Ryan’s heart raced, but he still couldn’t get out froed at Miller’s backside, like a sain, he yelped, but this time he turned to retaliate
