Maybe his sister had simply been in the wrong place at the wrong time.
“I was never involved in anything. I swear. You’ve got to believe me. I liked Mary. She was sweet and never ignored me,” Jessica said.
The words coming out of the woman were the truth. Zeke inhaled deeply. Any lies and he’d detect them easily.
Nothing. Her scent was clean. Whatever the pack had done Jessica had no knowledge of it.
Tying the silver chain around a chair with Jessica there, Zeke left her alone. Max was with him as they searched the house.
“What exactly are we looking for?” Max asked.
“I don’t fucking know. Something to do with experiments or science crap, I don’t know.” Moving through the house the scent of the other pack was everywhere. Zeke felt his anger increase with every step he took. He really wanted to go back home and wrap his arms around Mary.
“Are you doing okay, Alpha?” Max asked, staying close.
“Yeah. I want to find out why packs are experimenting. We’re dangerous creatures without experimenting on each other,” Zeke said. The thought of Mary being vulnerable after him biting her and her being used for some fucking experiments pissed him off.
“Sorry about your sister,” Max said.
“I’ll find her. I’m close. I know I am.”
They opened another door to find it empty apart from the usual furniture. Walking into the kitchen they opened the three doors from the kitchen. One door opened to a set of stairs. Flicking on a light, Zeke knew he wasn’t going to like what he discovered.
“What’s going on with Mary?” Max asked.
“What about her?” He took the first step and then another.
“She’s clearly something more than a toy.” Max was also a friend outside of the pack. Zeke liked to stay in touch with all of his wolves.
“Until I know what shit she’s been dealing with, she’s my toy, and I don’t want any of you fuckers to treat her otherwise.”
Together they walked down the stairs. The room opened up into a full basement. Zeke froze as the experiments were clear to see. There was a table with silver chains wrapped around. Needles, note papers, science equipment, and video equipment were in the room. He didn’t need any more evidence to know that Mary’s pack had been involved in some serious shit.
“Holy fuck.”
“Whatever the pack was involved in, Mary was part of the experiments,” Zeke said, feeling like he’d stumbled into something a lot bigger than he ever imagined. He would inform his father, and with the help of another Alpha, he’d get to the bottom of the situation.
