Wolf Charmer (Team Greywolf 2)

Tomlin nodded. “Yes. I will call her.”

Kane focused on the guards. “You will remember nothing, but bringing me breakfast.” They nodded and lowered their heads. He turned to the doctor. “Call her now.”

The doctor took his phone from his pocket. “Gaby, meet Kane on level two unit 201 in thirty minutes.”

Kane smiled as he listened to her response. “Are you kidding me? You just texted me to wait until he meets with Giles.”

“New orders.”

“Fine. I’ll be there.”

Tomlin turned to him and nodded.

No longer would he let them boss him a

round. “You can return to your other duties and no guards will accompany us.”

“Yes, of course.”

They left and Kane returned to his breakfast. He devoured the food, even the toast. His ability to mind control humans seemed as natural as his ability to shift. Yet, he didn’t remember the reason behind it. If they knew the extent of his skill in controlling their minds, they’d fear him more than the fact he could turn into a werewolf. Though he had no clue about his identity, he was the superior species. A danger these fools had not anticipated.

He sipped the coffee, and his thoughts turned to Gaby. Wolf-segen. When he first heard the term, it seemed familiar yet vague. Wolf charmers were akin to mythical creatures who once existed, but no more. Where had that little memory come from? Perhaps, Gaby would enlighten him more about her kind. Did others like her exist? Could she influence his wolf to remember?

While he waited, he turned on the television. Morning news. Maybe he’d get a clue as to his location. He picked up the remote and flipped through channels. The stations were national not local. Probably a satellite feed. His sense of smell told him, he was not near the ocean or the desert. The aroma of pine as well as hardwood trees such as ash and maple surrounded the compound. Early fall meant he might be near a similar forest like the one in his dream. No point in leaving so soon. He had nice accommodations, good food and when Director Giles returned more information. His alpha influence guaranteed his control. Then there was Gaby. He had her under his dominant influence, but then she snapped out of it. Odd. What was up with his exquisite wolf charmer?

Chapter 5

Kane undressed. Gaby turned away and stared at the tablet. He shimmered and in seconds, he took up one third of the living room. Aware his nakedness disturbed her, or rather turned her on, he whined to let her know he wore fur.

Gaby slowly turned and parted her lips. Frozen.

The pulse in her throat pumped like prey caught in the predator’s gaze. It’s not like this was the first time she’d witnessed him shift. He sat and cocked his head. I’m ready.

She shook her head. “I still can’t believe what my senses tell me is true.”

I’m no illusion. I feel at home in wolf form. I can’t be the result of an experiment.

Gaby bit her lip and approached. She held out her hand. He sniffed her hand; he inhaled her rich aroma, reminding him of vanilla, and honeysuckle. “Good wolf.”

To ease her nerves, he played the role of a domestic dog. He grinned, fangs out and waved his tail.

She put down the tablet. “Raise your right paw up if you understand me.”

Oh, brother. No trust. Then again, why would she? If he wanted to harm her, the guards wouldn’t be quick enough to stop him. He had to admire her bravery. He lifted his paw in the friendly dog shake.

“You understand what I’m saying.”

Duh. He waved his paw to confirm.

She took a long breath and released it. “Okay. Put your paw down.”

Another test? He obeyed.

“Stand.”

He stood. She needed to stop with the obedience commands.

“Pin your ears back.” Again, he obeyed. His wolf groaned. Please, don’t ask me to beg. I have a limit on what I’ll do for a subordinate human.
