Wolf Charmer (Team Greywolf 2)

“There’s one more thing about my charm I wasn’t aware of until now.”

“Besides our sexual tension?”

Gaby met his gaze. “I can sense your wolf even while you are in human form.”

“Now that is interesting. How so?”

“At first, I thought it was the shock of finding out you were a werewolf. But, when I look at others, I don’t perceive an inner wolf.”

He turned his head. “Is he behind me?”

“Physically, I saw a brief wolf-shaped mist. Only for a second, then I sensed the wolf shadow inside you, but only in my mind. As if you have a tattoo that only I can see. I’ve not mentioned it to Dr. Tomlin, since he and Giles might use this ability to find others like you.”

His eyes widened. “You can help me find others like me?”

She hated throwing him a bone of hope, but he should know. “If others like you roam around cities. Unfortunately, if there are few or just you, that plan won’t work. Plus, I’m stuck here.”

“Don’t worry about that.”

How dangerous would it be for her to look for more werewolves, while being pursued by Giles and his ilk? Giles had global connections with operatives around the globe, including rumors about an order that controlled the entire world. She furrowed her brow. “I trust you.” She smiled. “I’ll try not to influence you to kiss me.”

He smirked. “You didn’t.”

Gaby shamefully wanted him and like a typical alpha male, he thought it was his idea. The thought of using him to kill for Project Sabertooth turned her stomach. The last thing she wanted was to find more werewolves to kill for Giles. Of late, the project included offing whistle blowers and so-called enemies of the state. No one would trace an animal attack back to Sabertooth. “That’s what you think.”

“Very well, compel me to do something.”

“I’ll have you do something harmless. Fight it.”

“Sure.”

She studied his features, which at this moment looked human. “First, turn wolf.”

“Now?”

“Come into the living room, I don’t have much furniture.” Would it be possible to charm him into remembering his identity? If she could, she’d make sure he escaped and returned to his home. Possibly to his significant other. Although, she’d not turn him against the guards. The alarm would sound and Kane would end up dead. Giles would be pissed about losing his new asset. Plus, she’d vowed never to kill any more handlers or guards. Unless, they fired first.

He followed her into the spacious living room and pulled off his t-shirt. “Let’s do this.”

Her phone rang. She glanced at Kane. “Hold on.” He kept his shirt off. “Yes?”

Tomlin practically shouted, “The new Bengal tiger just mauled her handler.”

Gaby winced. “Okay, I’m on my way. What about Kane?” She nodded and put her phone away. “We need to postpone our experiment. The guards will escort you to your accommodations.”

“Confronting a tiger doesn’t sound safe.”

“You heard…of course, you did. Don’t worry, she’s tranquilized and in her cage.” If she’d been there, this would never have happened.

“So why go right away?”

“Tomlin wants me there when she awakens.”

He put his t-shirt back on. “Will you meet me later?”

“We’ll call it a day. Rest for now. They’ll serve you dinner soon and I’ll see you in the morning.” They walked out and she told the guards to take him to his room.

“I look forward to seeing if your charm compels me.”
