had been wrong. There were others above ground, simply not others he would recognize.
    “ Okay, Jacques is ready ,” Jasmine said.
    Asia rested on the balls of her feet as Jerry typed on the keypad looking inside the room with a deep frown.
    “ Incoming .”
    “ Incoming? Wait. Jacques said whatever you do don’t shut the system down, it will trip alarms and alert the Liege. Don’t use a hammer, is what he said .”
    Asia shook her head at the late advice. Heart racing, adrenaline pumped through her providing an outlet for her anger in preparation to fight. “ Too late, already done, company’s here .”
    The door slid open. “Ponce, what are you doing?” Jerry hissed pulling her close, looking around until and stopped on the floor where Henry lay dead on the ground.
    “Shit, I didn’t mean for you to kill anybody, we were just kidding around,” he said and fired the weapon in his hand at the hybrid. Surprised, Asia stepped aside, and avoided being slammed into the controls when the other hybrid charged. Jerry emptied his pistol slowing down the hybrid, but she knew that wouldn’t stop the breed. Nothing would until they completed the mission with their deaths.
    Asia jumped up, flipped and landed behind the second hybrid. She punched the thing in the eye, withdrew her fist, and punched again. This time she ripped out the chip behind his eye. He screamed and held his face. Grabbing his head between her palms, she twisted, snapped its neck and silenced him at the same time.
    “What… how’d you do that?” Jerry asked staring as flesh re-knitted over the metal on her arm. Since there was no reasonable answer, she gazed down at the other hybrid lying on the floor with a hole in his chest and neck. Jerry had destroyed his opponent with a laser. Asia hoped he wouldn’t do the same to his lover.
    “I think I read about it somewhere, come on let’s go.” She stepped over the hybrid and headed toward the door.
    “Go? Go where,” Jerry yelled and then raised a closed fist before lowering it. “There are chips in our brains, those bastards can find us anywhere in the world. Do you have any idea what you’ve done? Do you know what they do to people who fuck up?” He pointed to the dead tech.
    Asia looked out the door.
    Jerry grabbed her shoulders and shook her. Asia read his pain at what he needed to do. He loved Ponce and planned to kill them both to save them from the Liege. Instead of speaking she laid her palm across his cheek and morphed. Side by side, she placed the lovers before scanning through Jerry’s memories. His knowledge of the castle seemed like a birthday present and Christmas rolled into one. A hidden door on an upper level met her immediate needs and she moved at an even pace, entered a code and headed down the stairs. Jerry and Ponce often left the building for picnics and outings through this exit. With each step to leave this accursed place, her wolf whined. Night had fallen by the time the copse of trees on the other side of the castle came into view.
    Asia looked up at the dark, imposing building and spit on the ground. Gunnolf died years ago and somehow his memories lured unsuspecting protégés into a web of servitude. If she had explosives, she would blow the place apart.
    Tired and hungry, she morphed into the guard who helped rescue Tyrese from Lyrill just in case the European pack was still in the area. Jasmine would have flight arrangements made, ready to take her home and it would be too difficult explaining a new person in the country.
    Mission over, she headed toward the small house on the opposite side of the lake where she’d stayed before the job in the castle. Tonight she would rest, explain the situation to Jasmine and wait for an extraction. Now that she’d calmed down, she realized she’d violated a direct order from La Patron by releasing the test wolves. No telling how he would respond.
    Also Greggor would be angry over the security breach and start the hunt soon. By
