All because we were being paid to do it, and we’d all volunteered.A pay that Michaela figured the government never anticipated paying.
The scientist knew that the babies, whom they had been groomed to carry, would kill them.However, she was sure the scientist hadn’t thought it would take their lives early on in the pregnancy and destroy the child in vitro as well, as it had done to the other eleven women.
Bastards.
“Well, 100013, we’ll get you set up in the treatment chamber.You should be ripe for implantation, now.”Another woman with dull-red tresses cut in a sharp bob fixated on Avalore's abdomen as if she could see through the loose, torn t-shirt and dirty, worn jeans.
Michaela gritted her teeth but held it behind a tight, small smile.She glanced over at Avalore and recognized the same artificial, ignorant, submissive expression on her friend.However, she also saw the fierce determination and the anger hidden in Avalore’s hazel eyes, a reflection that mirrored her own.
“Can I go to the showers first?”Avalore rubbed her hands along the sides of her thighs and delivered the questions with so much false hope that Michaela would have believed that her friend still pined for the funds if she hadn’t known it was an act.
“There will be plenty of time afterward once we check you out,” said a woman with a cap of short, brownish-red curls, making notes on a clipboard.Michaela assumed it was Avalore's chart by the way she kept glancing at her and jotting notes.
Michaela figured they’d waste no time separating them.However, that worked to their advantage.Michaela did not doubt that even if her friend couldn’t shift, Ava could handle those who went with her, even without the swords—the weapons Liekki had permitted the Lupines hidden in the forest beyond the door to hold for his mate.
And Michaela would take care of those who were unfortunate enough to attempt to examine her.
Chapter Twenty-Seven
––––––––
Do you think Avaloreand Michaela are alright?Should it take this long?
I’m sure everything is fine.Chanin’s wolf crouched in the forest, shifted its weight just enough to brush its side against its mate’s.Dolf radioed that because of the new post of the guards, they’d have to take care of the scientist at the laboratory area.
Chanin’s mate was fierce, but she had a caring heart, and that’s what made her the best Alpha female for his Pack.Right now, he needed her, just like the others in his pack that were hidden in the woods close to the back side of the Wall, far enough to stay concealed until it was too late for the humans to do anything.
They occupied one side while the Vamps worked recon from the other side.His Pack would be the first in once the doors were opened, disable the vehicles, and look for the weapons cache before the humans could send their military to arm up.
Because they all knew for damn sure if the North American continent government had labs and facilities to create super soldiers then their asses had ensured they buried weaponry as well.
Amaros and his Coven could teleport and move virtually undetected through spaces.Their job would be to locate the humans' comm center, infiltrate it, or destroy the enemy's ability to communicate.
Chanin kept watch for any movement of the gate.Once it began to rise, they would be on the move.
He glanced up through the trees but saw nothing but darkness overhead.However, he wasn’t fooled; he knew Aodh and his Thunder hovered up there with their keen gazes locked on the south side of the walled-in area.
