“Does this look like my house?” he yelled out as he passed through the doorway. “Goddammit it, Caleb is gonna kill all of us. ”

“Not if I kill you first,” Faith muttered as she turned to face the three men watching her, their aristocratic expressions immediately setting her hackles up.
“Let me guess,” she said roughly. “Alphas of course. Where the hell are all the betas, don’t any of them survive genetic selection? Betas are good things. ”
Chapter Twenty-Six
Marshal didn’t make it to questioning. Neither did any of the others. Faith listened to Jacob curse loudly, violently.
“One. All I ask for is one. Just don’t kill one of them, so we can question them,” he growled as he faced Stygian furiously. “What happened?”
“They had bigger guns, boss. ” Stygian shrugged. “Shoot first, worry about questions later. This ain’t no place for serious wounds. ”
Faith watched Jacob as he wiped his hand over his face in a gesture of extreme frustration. She stood back patiently as she shared an amused look with Cian, the second in command of the Winged Breeds.
Jacob turned to Faith. “You find something amusing here, mate?” He scowled.
Faith shrugged. “Maybe. ”
Jacob’s eyes narrowed. She could feel his lust, his aggravation, his fury, all combining in a way that made her blood pressure soar.
“Such as?” he bit out.
“Such as the fact that our new Breeds have some interesting information. ” She shrugged. “While you were taking care of Alpha business, I was being the good little Liaison and gathering facts. ”
“Like?” A thread of suspicion entered his tone.
“Like the fact that the Council has developed an intriguing little serum. One that they believe will force conception, but in doing so, will ensure that all Breed DNA is reversed in the child. ”
Shocked disbelief lined the expressions turned toward her.
“They believe they can fuck with nature a second time, within the same genetic code?” He growled. “Have they lost their minds?”
“Did they ever have any?” Cian asked him then as he leaned casually against the wall in the kitchen where they were gathered. “They have two human women, who they have forced into heat, similar to what the Breed females suffer. By studying these women and their physical and hormonal changes, they think this can be done. ”
“What else have they done to them?” Jacob asked darkly.
Cian shook his head. “There is one at our Labs, where our commander and two of the youngest of our clan is being held. Her screams…”
He went no further.
“Which one? The Dunmore woman or Roberts’ get?” Stygian bit out, his voice cold, hard.
“Charity Dunmore. She was brought in several months ago. She was still there when we escaped. We do not believe she will live much longer. Whatever they have done has…affected…her.
“Call Wolfe. ” He turned to Faith. “I want Aiden and his men here. ”
“Taken care of. ” Faith nodded firmly. “I’ve also put out a call to any Packs close enough to aid us. ”
“Have they moved the Lab?” He turned back to Cian.
“They will not move it. It is very heavily defended though. Part of the mountain itself. It will not be easy to breach. ”
“None of them are,” Jacob assured him. “We’ll begin planning when Wolfe and Aiden arrive. Until then, we prepare. Faith. ” He turned to her slowly again. “Get ready, you’ll be returning to the Pack compound to stay with Hope. I’ll need you there to coordinate the Packs, and to protect the home base. ”
