Rylee approached her and gently grabbed her chin and turned to look at Rachel’s neck “I’m very sure”

Rachel sed “Because?”

“You will learn soon enough” She pressed an intercom “Send in Commander Trevor and Selene”

Rachel’s eyes widened “Selene?” The woht Rachel was out of listening range His lover?

“Yes, you’re father’s consort” She chuckled “Or rather Selene’s pet”

Pet? Not for real Why would Rylee say such an off-color comment? Her mood darkened Was Selene the reason Howard abandoned his family? A mixture of curiosity and resentment clouded her mind Aard “Shouldn’t the witness be impartial?” Not a home breaker

“Not necessarily Selene is a scientist and not the evil stepmother type”

Ugh Is she readingup on eht Lev could be one of the witnesses”

“True Although he initiated you with the three s…” Her voice trailed off and she furrowed her brow “Best we use other witnesses”

So about her pensive look did not bode well Would she be allowed to see Lev? Ever? Rylee had said he would never leave because of her Their sex had been pretty fantastic His wolf clai a human even alloithout permission from his pack leader? Were there other rituals involved? Howard had been allowed his she-wolf lover Why not she?

The door opened and a tall broad-shouldered older e walked in

“Rachel, this is Commander Trevor, headquarters territory security officer and Selene Zeigler, head of the Luponomics Research Center You are permitted to be on a first name basis”

“Nice to meet you” Rachel lowered her head while they circled and sniffed her loudly as if trying to identify what type of perfume she wore None except her own aroma

Trevor smiled “A pleasure”

Selene stopped and lifted Rachel’s chin “You are as beautiful as your father described and, from what I’ve heard, a brilliant doctor”
