  “How the fuck did you find us so fast?” The general recovered from his shock quick however. “You can’t get away from all of us.”

  “Don’t have to. Let her go.”

  Cee Cee opened her eyes again but couldn’t sit up because she was strapped to the table.

  “No way. You bit her. I’m hoping some of your perverse shifter genes will be in her and we can use them to make super soldiers. There was so much potential in you but you refused any and all tests. Although it will be interesting to see what she turns into as we ran her blood and I see wolf in there.”

  He knew it. More rage pulsed at the thought of her being a science experiment. “I’m not a military weapon and neither is she. Let. Her. Go.”

  He shook his head. “No. They’ll kill you.”

  “Not before I kill you and like all good soldiers, they know they aren’t supposed to risk your life for theirs. So, to keep you alive, they will lower their weapons and release her. Now!”

  Two men jumped to do his bidding. The general barked a refusal but they ignored it.

  Cee Cee got off the gurney and stood there, unsure of what to do.

  From the tall grasses strolled a large group of cheetah. Each one stood before a human, growling and ready to attack. The two young males wove around her, pushing her back away from the danger. The men were all pushed into the large building and the general was the last to go.

  Before he released him, Kent put the device he’d pulled off the truck on him. “Run,” he ordered.

  Cee Cee and the other cats took off.

  Kent secured the door. He didn’t want to do this but the man knew his secret and he wasn’t about to risk his mate’s life further. He shifted and bounded after them. To his sensitive ears, he picked up on the whine of the impending explosion and lunged for her, shifting to human as he took them down, rolling so he landed first, then pushing so she was beneath him.

  The area was rocked by the explosion and he could feel the heat from the blast as the wave blew over them. He didn’t move until the world had settled around them. Only then, did he draw back and stare at the woman beneath him.

  She blinked and watched him with those amazing green eyes.

  He nearly held his breath as he waited for her to say something. Anything.

  “I suppose you’re going to tell me you’re the king cheetah from the trap?”

  Gods, he loved this woman. Nodding, he lowered his head until their lips were a hairsbreadth apart. “I am.”

  “And what’s happening to me?” She moved her gaze to his lips and back up. “They talked about you and what you are a lot.”

  “You’re changing into a shifter like me.”

  “Will I be a king cheetah? Or a wolf?”

  “I’m not sure but you will be beautiful and my mate for the rest of our lives.”

  “But my uncle knew.”

  He nodded. “He did. For a long time, I had trusted him with my secret. Now, I find he was planning to use me but when you were bit, he figured you would be an easier target.”

  “What if he told someone?”

  “His secret died with him. If it didn’t, we will face it when the time comes. Together.”

  The two young males showed back up, butted their heads against both of them and lay down a distance away.

  “Family.”

  Pride filled him at her word. He claimed her mouth, allowing their souls to reunite and become one, once more. He didn’t care at all what she would shift into, wolf or cheetah, she was his and he, hers. This was the beginning of the rest of their lives.
