credits they gave us were to make their bullshit lies resonate truth.”
    “Wait. If you were in a facility, you wouldn’t remember your time there,” Giles stated.
    “We…I figured out a way around the pills they gave us. It helped me keep most of the memories.”
    “We? Why?” Marek asked.
    Mira sighed her exhaustion. She’d sworn to tell no one about him except for Kadal, whoever the hell he was. Although she’d gotten to know Adrik and members of his pack, she knew few of The Others.
    She shuddered. Paraspecies. She’d been around NAH officers too long. Only the NAH called them The Others—as though they were garbage not deserving a real name.
    “No response?” Peyton asked.
    Mira glared at the gorgeous wolf. Long, russet hair tumbled around her shoulders. Taller than Mira, the woman was muscular, yet curvy. Long legs, big breasts and major attitude. All the wolves probably wanted her.
    Did Adrik?
    Her heart thundered to life as she regarded the man she’d thought about every single day the past couple of years. He was sexier than she remembered. A few inches taller than six foot with massive shoulders, muscular arms, lean hips and powerful thighs. Unruly waves of chestnut hair framed his square jaw and accentuated his golden gaze. She’d spent countless hours regaling her friend with her adventures with Adrik and his pack.
    Thoughts of the man she’d abandoned—left to rot alone—soured her stomach. The first time she’d met him had been an accident. Doctor Covali and his minions had spent hours experimenting on her.
     
    The whirl of the grinder cast terror in her trembling limbs. Knife-like sensations stabbed her spine as she twisted and turned, desperate to escape the excruciating agony. She had to get away.
    “You’ll learn soon enough, stubborn Mira, we always get what we want. Now tell me all you know about Redemption Station.” The doctor’s monosyllabic voice boomed above the whirling threat nearing her leg. “Prep the area for round one.”
    “Yes, Doctor, and what pain administration protocol will be used today?”
    “None.”
    “None, Doctor?” The guard, turned lackey nurse when necessary, asked.
    “She must break. She knows more than any other prisoner we’ve received. They’re relying on us to get answers, Daryl.”
    “Hank and I’ll make sure she talks if this doesn’t work. We have our own way of making girls squeal.” The man grabbed her lower calf with one hand and her KBAR with the other. “Think we should use this on her. Teach her what happens when pretty girls mess with things they shouldn’t.”
    Screams ripped from her before she could resist. Agony drowned her in hopelessness. No one would ever find her.
    Adrik, please help me. Find me. Eron, please. Save me.
    She’d cast the telepathic plea outward, knowing it was pointless. Her brother didn’t have those abilities and none of Adrik’s pack was there to hear her.
    Female. Calm yourself.
    Warmth drifted through her mind, spreading within her veins like a brushfire. Each ember flicked the pain away and wrapped her in warmth. She blinked away the hazy fog overcoming her eyes and stared up at the doctor.
    He smirked. “I’m looking forward to this.”
    She screamed when he brought the grinder toward her leg.
    Calm yourself. Close your eyes.
    But he’s going to hurt me.
    I can’t stop the action, but I will take away the pain. Close your eyes.
    W-who are you?
    Silence met her inquiry for a moment. My name doesn’t matter. I’m here, on the same level you are. We’ll keep each other company, help each other through the dark moments.
    Okay.
    Close your eyes, female.
    Mira. My name is Mira.
    Very well, Mira. Close your eyes and focus on my voice. I will tell you a story.
     
    “Mira.” Adrik shook her. Phantom pain from the past ripped through her leg and slashed upward into her spine. She gasped, contorting on the table as she made a grab toward him. He pulled away and glared over his shoulder. “What
