She walked into the lion's den to save her brother. She didn't expect to become the prey. Or carry a secret that could destroy them all. Josephine "Jo" Hale never imagined the mission to save her younger brother would end with her locked in a hidden underground facility, held by the very organization she once loyally served as a spy. Trained to outwit, outfight, and outlast any enemy, Jo now finds herself powerless, blindfolded, and studied like a lab rat by the merciless Viper-a man who views her as nothing more than a test subject in his dark supernatural experiments. But everything changes when Jo is dragged into a sterile lab and meets Dr. Lucy-a woman with kind eyes and secrets of her own. There, Jo learns the unthinkable: she's pregnant. And the father is Ezra-a man whose touch once set her soul on fire during one passionate, forbidden night. A man she barely knew... and now realizes is something more than human. Ezra is a werewolf-one of the last of a rare, nearly extinct bloodline-and now Jo is carrying his child. A child Viper deems "perfect" for experimentation. A child Jo will burn the world to protect. Torn between fear and the growing bond with the life inside her, Jo must rely on her instincts, training, and fading hope. The walls around her are closing in. But whispers of escape, smuggled in through hidden notes and subtle glances from Dr. Lucy, offer a dangerous flicker of freedom. As enemies close in and time runs out, Jo must confront the biggest questions of her life: Can she trust anyone again? Will Ezra ever find her? And what will it take to survive long enough to meet the baby who's already become her reason to fight?
This wasn't just a careless one-night stand mistake. It was a deliberate and sinister plot involving luck, manipulation, and a clear objective that I regret not understanding before making a deal with a powerful and secretive organization. This group, often referred to as the "devil," seeks to surpass the power of werewolves, a community I've grown up in and identify with, despite being a halfling and not fully accepted as one of them.
My father was a werewolf and my mother was not, she was human. She died trying to give birth to me. Werewolf babies aren't compatible with human bodies. She died in the end cuz her body was too weak
My father got remarried to werewolf and I got a super annoying brother out of it. I have never once thought about my real mother. I sometimes guess she would have related to me better since she wasn't a werewolf . I am just an halfling just like they say because I can't shift like my brother or my dad and step mum.
I love my family though. I couldn't have wished for anything better while growing up. A step mum who taught me how to bake and ride a bike. A very over protective dad who cares like hell for me and a younger brother who I screamed at most of the time.
The same younger brother is the reason why my cheeks are stinging from slaps and for which I am on my knees with a gun pointed at my head for, to make sure he survives. Even though I will kill him since he has gotten me in this position.
I don't understand why you think you can walk in here to bargain for your brother." Viper barks at me and I hold my tongue to make sure I don't pit out more comments that have earned me about 7 set of slaps in the last 20 minutes."He pledged to us that brings us the money in 6 months and he hasn't even been able to bring part of it
"I told you the story, someone had hacked his account , stole and ran off with the money . The guy who stole the money is called Micheal Grey, if you want the damn money, find him! " I spit out tired of giving him the same information, feeling like this is going around in circles
" I don't think you quite understand that your brother has broken a scared code". The man asking the questions finally changes how the conversation goes and I am pressed to the ground as I am not allowed to see his face. His voice suggests that he is in his fifties and the sleek shoes suggests that he is at the top of this demonic place
" I didn't realised you idiots had a code . My head forcefully moves to the side from the force of the slap and blood spills from my nose. I hold myself from crying.
I feel the warm smoky, cigarette breathe of my interrogator as he leans to my level." Our code is what keeps each and everyone of us in place. We want things to be done in order and it's not our fault your brother lost the money, it's on him. You grovel for his freedom, should I admire that or not? He laughs in my ear. I bite my harder and force myself from spitting into his eyes as I remember the last slap. The pains still radiates in my cheek
It might be of interest to you to know that your brother had already given us information on this bastard, Alex. We still locked him up. He's not going anywhere until i get my money back.
Has this investigation been successfully I asked him impatiently, stunned at my own voice and for not getting a kick in the belly out of it.
Not quite , he says softly, we've spent countless time and effort on this. Even if we find what we are looking for, your brother still stays with us
I almost cry. I had to pull myself together. They're gonna use my brother as a lab rat, he's a werewolf and they want to use him for their experiments.
The walls of this foreboding place, ostensibly dedicated to unraveling the mysteries of the supernatural, instead reverberate with the unsettling sounds of drills and anguished cries. The faint, eerie glow of screens casts an unnerving light, sending shivers down my spine. Organizations like this one don't allow for easy escape. Once you're entangled in their web, there's no turning back.
You are the animals, you people are more inhumane than us werewolves. I wait for the neck blow to my abdomen. It didn't come , he lifts up my face and then quickly drops it down not letting me fully see what he look like. This hurts my neck so had
I had a sneek peak at his face with. Ginger grey hair, hooked nose, full lips and pale green eyes, with a scar that runs from under his eyes to his lips. He mocked me and, you'll always only be half, a halfling. His laugh echoed the whole room
I have always been called that, it's not the first time , so I suck it in as it has no meaning to me. He saw no reaction from me and then he further pushes. Your brother Lucas has been having nightmares, he call out you name in his sleep.
I start begging for him to leave my brother alone, just the response he always looking for and he. I'll do anything. And then I realise, it was just the response be was looking for as his words run with a muffled wicked laughter
Viper makes his boys drag me up and I fully take in his look. It makes me shiver. He steps away from me and I take I'm my surroundings, an abandoned part of the city.This underground community had been here the whole time and no one had ever given word on it, otherwise, you'd be shot dead.
It consists of science labs , lots of them. As you pass through the rooms, you could hear creams of people. I only wonder how my brother feels through all of this.
There is silence, a long agonising one.
You'd do anything right?. In a few days, well discuss that
"Boys, take her away, we've began our mission to get the money back.
I shout over the corridor, how will I be of help to this plan?" Don't be such in a hurry darling, with wicked smile". With that face ,ass and a pretty face, we will get u up to work
Don't be stupid enough to come with any weapon,the consequences for your brother depends on it. I'll send you an address for our meeting on Saturday night.
A shiver runs through my spine , I don't let him know how scared I was. I look forward to working with you. Jo. Or should I say Josephine. He walks away with a sinister laughter.
I was grabbed forcefully by the arm, with a blind fold and taken out of the building. I'm on edge about what is supposed to come as well as the fact that my brother is no where to be found, because of this murder, Viper.
My hairs stand up as I feel someone watching me on my way out and I know Viper has got me pinned.
