PROLOGUE
Somewhere in the near future
Experimental Breed Labs, Mexico
Jacob exited the small shower attached to his cell, a towel wrapped around his
waist as he dried the long strands of his hair with another. The hot shower had eased
the strained muscles that came with daily training, but did little to ease the tense
premonition that had filled him for the last days.
It throbbed in his gut, and tightened his chest. The chill of warning seemed to
infuse his being. He couldnÔt shake it. It was unusual for his sixth sense to kick in so
hard and heavy when not involved with one of the CouncilÔs bloody missions. While
incarcerated at the Labs, the highly developed ability to sense danger was normally
quiet. Now though, it tightened his chest and sent a prickle
of warning escalating up his spine.
The advanced sixth sense was something he kept carefully hidden. The
premonitions became stronger each month, the development of once latent talents
peeking from the edges of his mind in a way that kept him off balance. It wouldnÔt do to
let his creators know. The advancement of any of their extra senses could well be the
final nail in the coffins of the Wolf Breeds. Life was hard enough as a genetic
experiment; he would prefer it didnÔt get any harder.
At the rate they were going they would be disposed of before the year was out
anyway. Despite the years of bloody training and cruel conditions, the Breeds still
hadnÔt developed the sense of hatred and bloodthirsty savagery their creators were
looking for. Except for their creators. Given a chance, every Breed within the cells
would take out the throats of the Council members and scientists and soldiers who
wielded their perverted powers.
A silent, hidden snarl echoed in his mind at the thought of his captors as he entered
the main area of his small cell. He stopped the moment he crossed the threshold from
the bathroom. His head lifted, nostrils flaring as his gaze went immediately to the
furious young woman who sat on the thick mattress in the corner of his cell. A woman
that should not be there.
For a moment, desire sharp and sudden flared within him. An instinct to possess
that he was hard pressed to keep hidden beneath a shield of unconcern. The animal
instincts that fought for supremacy each time he was in her presence were becoming
harder to hide as each day went by.
His chest immediately tightened in fury as knowledge seared his brain. The day he
had feared would come, had hoped to avoid, was now here. He glanced through the
