Wolfe stared at Val.
“Only, I’m guessing she was with you the whole time. Which means…”
“There’s something in the forest,” Wolfe said.
And Amelia hadn’t returned home.
Wolfe didn’t wait for anyinstruction. He took off, rushing out of the clubhouse, past the parking lot, and heading into the forest. Within seconds, he shed his clothes, split his skin, and brought forward his wolf.
Amelia hadn’t been lying.
He’d been wrong.
****
Amelia groaned, reaching for the back of her head.
What the hell was wrong with her?
Putting her hand on the floor, she became aware of concrete beneath her hand. She quickly opened her eyes to takein her surroundings.
Bars.
A cage.
What the fuck?
She had been locked in a cage.
“Ah, I see you’re awake.”
Amelia looked toward the door, and there was thevet.
“Doctor Milton,” she said. “What’s going on?”
He laughed. Milton just laughed.
The sound wasn’t natural but on the verge of hysterics.
Ameliawent to stand up, but cried out.
Looking down, she saw her leg had been broken.
What the fuck had happened?
She didn’t remember breaking her leg.
Milton stepped toward the bars. “I’m sorry, but Ihad to take precautions. I couldn’t risk you trying to run or even worse, attacking me.”
“I have no idea what is going on here, Milton,” she said.
“It’s still Doctor Milton.” He held a gun in his hand.
Amelia frowned at it. “You’re going to kill me?”
“Actually, I don’t want to kill you, but I would like some answers.”
In all the times she had visited Doctor Milton, not once had she thought of him as evil.
