~excerpt from book#2 in the Daemons of San DeLain series. No title as of yet, but Kage and Austin are the focus again.
Once breakfast had been
cleared away, Austin went to shower and get ready. Kage fixed himself a cup
coffee and wondered upstairs to his office. He might was well check his emails
while he waited.
Sitting down in his
chair, he booted up his computer. As he waited, he sipped his coffee,
contemplating which store to go to first. The shrill ringing of his cell phone
dragged him out of his thoughts.
Pulling it out of his
pocket, he accepted the call. “Good morning, Hudson.”
“We have confirmed the
location.”
Kage set his coffee
down. “Right to it, huh?”
“Yeah. Shit, Kage, it’s
not all good news.”
Kage expected no less,
honestly. “Okay, tell me.”
“It appears the
information Tammy gave us is correct.”
That was a relief,
seeing as Tammy was a hunter who’d approached Kage and Austin. She offered
information on a base location. In exchange, she wanted them to rescue Oscar, a
male werewolf she’d had a part in kidnapping.
Talk about a twist of
Fate.
Hunters were abducting
all kind of weres because they want to splice were generics with humans to make
a super soldier that they could control in a war with paranormals.
Turned out Tammy had
been one of the first to be injected. No one foresaw a side effect being the
mating bond wolves and other weres formed.
Oscar, the very wolf
Tammy had a hand in abducting, was her mate. And she wanted him set free, thus
the deal with Kage. She was being held in Hudson’s dungeon at the moment,
making Hudson a very unhappy dragon. Tammy might be Oscar’s mate, but she was
still a hunter and untrustworthy. At least the was Kage’s opinion.
Hudson recommendation
was to serve up some barbequed hunter for dinner. So honestly, the dungeon
really was the safest place for her.
“There is a site
where she said in Montana, in the Bitterroot Mountain range,” Hudson said.
Kage leaned back in his
chair. A mountain range made sense—very secluded and not easily reached. “So
Tammy came through. Is the site active?”
“It was as of last
evening.”
“That’s good, then.
They haven’t abandoned it, even though Tammy went missing.”
“Yeah, that’s the good
news.”
“Good news? What’s the
bad?”
“We have visuals of underground
targets thanks to 3D SAR.”
“Alright, James Bond,
give it to me in English.” Kage was going to need more coffee if he was going
to have to deal with Hudson in super spy mode.
