The Alpha's Toy
Mary was receiving injections, how do you know
Roger and Dani weren’t trying something?” Jane asked.
    Zeke looked at Max, who nodded.
    “ One of the packs close to us
offered to pay money for Jane,” Max said. “I killed the man who
tried to pay for my woman. There are packs out there experimenting,
Zeke.”
    Stroking her hair, Zeke wondered what
the fuck had happened to her after he bit her. “I need to go and
fucking find something out.” Looking at Jane, he saw the concern in
the other woman’s eyes. “Can I leave her with you?”
    “ Yes.” Zeke picked Mary up
in his arms helping her into the bed. “Zeke?”
    He turned to Jane at her speaking his
name.
    “ Her wolf responded to
yours.”
    “ I know.” He tensed,
looking at his men, waiting for them to speak up. None of them did
as the sympathy for Mary overshadowed everything else.
    “ Is she the woman you’ve
been searching for?” Jane asked.
    Zeke didn’t answer her, walking out of
his bedroom. One of the men handed him a pair of jeans. He was
still too warm to wear anything more than a pair of
jeans.
    “ Where’s Jessica?” he
asked.
    “ Locked in her room,” Max
said.
    Going down to the bottom floor, he
didn’t try the lock. Pressing his foot to the door, he slammed the
wood open. Jessica jerked to her feet dropping the book she’d been
reading to the floor.
    Her blue eyes were wide and rounded as she
looked at him. She was a full breed, Roger and Dani’s supposed
oldest daughter. She didn’t even smell like the bastards of that
pack.
    “ What were your parents involved in?” he
asked, advancing into the room.
    “ I don’t know what you’re
talking about.” She stood up, holding her hands out trying to ward
him off.
    Zeke was tired of being placated. Going to
her side, he grabbed her arm and hauled her out of the room. “Then
let’s go and see what Mommy and Daddy had planned.” He didn’t
release her. Grabbing a silver chain from the door, he wrapped it
around her upper arm.
    She screamed, crying out for
help.
    He didn’t give a shit. After what he’d
just seen the little bitch was lucky not to be getting worse from
him.
    Max didn’t say a word as they
headed out into the morning. The sun was shining
down , and the
warmth of the summer was already high. Zeke kept walking, ignoring
the sizzle as the silver bit into his skin. He wouldn’t give
Jessica the satisfaction of seeing him hurt. The bitch was still
part of an enemy pack.
    “ Please, I haven’t done
anything,” she said, crying out.
    “ No? Well, we’re going to find
out what the rest of the pack knew.” They covered the distance to where he’d
killed her pack. The bodies were still lying on the floor only this
time they were black from burning. His men had returned to make
sure they were all dead. Jessica sobbed as they passed.
    Her tears meant nothing to him.
Walking around the bodies, he headed straight for the large house.
Zeke had visited the house several times. He’d never been
interested in fighting between packs.
    “ What are you hoping to
find?” Max asked.
    “ The answer as to why my
woman’s wolf just tried to claw its way out of her.”
    Jessica gasped. “Is Mary all right?
Nothing has happened to her, has it?”
    Grabbing both of her arms, Zeke let
all of his scorn for the girl show.
    “ She’s fucking grand. Something
your fucking parents did to her has caused this, and I’m not going
to stop until I find it.”
    “ I don’t know what they did. I
was never involved with anything like that.”
    He glared at the fourteen year
old knowing he needed to rein in his anger. Zeke had heard of packs
experimenting on their own , but he’d never encountered it. What the fuck did
they want with his sister if they were experimenting on half
breeds?
    Fuck!
    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
