Healing the Wolf
Paranormal Security and Intelligence Ops Shadow Agents: Part of the Immortal Ops World
Paranormal Security and Intelligence Operative and Shadow Agent Gram Campbell is not having a great year. So far this alpha-male wolf-shifter has had his heart and his body broken. Now his friends have staged their version of an intervention, sending him off to spend time in a luxury retreat and spa that caters to supernaturals. But this tranquil oasis is more than it appears to be. In it lurks a dark secret. One that threatens to destroy Gram and his destined mate. Is he beyond repair, or will his fated mate bring much needed healing to the man and the wolf within? And can they survive a madman and his vision for the future?
Chapter One
PSI Division B Headquarters, location classified…
Gram Campbell sat in a chair, looking out of the infirmary-room window at the setting sun. Even being immortal and having seen countless sunsets, the beauty of it wasn’t lost on him. Although it was hard to find joy in much of anything as of late.
Not long ago, he’d thought he had it all…a ready-made family, a future. None of that was to be.
He was alone, and doing his best to heal from life-threatening injuries. He’d sustained them a few weeks ago. He’d gotten them by protecting someone he loved, and he’d do it all over again. Though, this time, he’d be sure the assholes from The Corporation couldn’t get the jump on him long enough to inject him with whatever they’d given him. It was something engineered for a supernatural with extremely high healing capabilities.
Gram had slightly higher than the average shifter-healing abilities—or he had, until the injection.
It had stopped his ability to heal himself as a supernatural would. And while he was still doing far better than a human would under the same circumstances, he was nowhere near where he should be. He wasn’t sure he’d ever be one hundred percent again. That worried him.
He couldn’t return to work as a solo operative with the Paranormal Security and Intelligence (PSI) Shadow Ops Division until he was medically cleared for duty. Gram couldn’t even get clearance to go home, let alone return to work. It had taken its toll on him mentally. He’d never been one to sit around. Idle hands were the work of the devil, in his opinion. Being forced to do nothing was pure and absolute torture.
Pain radiated through his back and down both legs. He gritted his teeth and rode out the discomfort. He knew another spasm would follow shortly behind the first. It always did. They were like aftershocks from an earthquake. Everyone knew they were coming, but no one could predict them. He’d been told the pain was caused by damaged nerves. He didn’t know or care. He just wanted it to end.
Medication had been offered to help dull the pain, but he didn’t want any more. The meds—which were experimental in the sense that no one had ever tried using the concoction before, and no one should really try to use it again—caused him to hallucinate and killed his ability to focus in any fashion. They monkeyed with his ability to use his natural-born magik and made his already pissed-off wolf even more unstable than it had been.
The hallucinations were honestly what bothered him most. They had gotten so bad while on the meds that Gram had thought his mother was in the room with him more than once, and he’d had full conversations with her.
She’d been dead for over a century.
That didn’t stop her from weighing in on his love life, or lack thereof. Yes, he understood she wasn’t really there. That she was a manifestation of some deeper need to have his mother around him when he was injured—at least that was what the head shrink had claimed; the one PSI had tried to force him to see.
Gram just thought it was caused by the shit they were injecting him with.
If getting lectured by his dead mother about getting up and out into the world to find his perfect someone wasn’t bad enough, the damn meds kept making him think a white wolf was in the room with him. It wasn’t. At least, he was about ninety-nine percent sure it wasn’t.
His wolf, the one who was as broken as he was, would have lost its shit had an actual predator been near. Then again, his wolf had had the shit kicked out of it, too, so it was nowhere near full strength. That being said, it could still sense danger. It didn’t seem the least bit worried about the white wolf appearing to him. Even Gram’s wolf understood the crap they were giving him was making him loopy and high.
Gram had thought that was the weirdest it would get on the meds. He’d been wrong. Several times in the last week alone, he’d thought a red kickball had rolled into the room, only to find it wasn’t actually there. It had been a trick of his mind.
In addition, he’d started seeing a woman in white. She had long dark brown hair and pale skin. The dress she wore hung almost to the floor, leaving her bare feet showing. While the dress was nothing he’d consider fashionable or form-fitting, it was thin, gifting him a glimpse of what she did and did not have on beneath it. His dick didn’t really care if the chick was real or not. Each time she appeared to him, he walked around with a hard-on for hours.
He’d yet to see her full face, but each time he hallucinated her being in the room with him, he felt the fierce need to draw her close and protect her. The problem was, the second he tried to make contact with her, she vanished into thin air, having never actually been there to start with.
He understood she wasn’t real, that she was simply a by-product of the drugs he was being given, but none of that mattered. He couldn’t get her out of his head. She’d only just started appearing to him…and
he found that ironic, since visions of her began when he’d started skipping doses of the serum. He’d assumed that would lessen the number of weird things he was seeing.
It hadn’t.
A few times, she had been standing next to the red ball, looking to be staring off at something in the distance—not that he’d seen her face or anything. He could sense her anguish, her despair, and her desperation. He could also smell her fear, as if she was real and truly near him. In addition, the hallucination of her was always accompanied by the smell of honeysuckle and vanilla. Both scents he found soothing and alluring.
Kind of like her.
She was tall for a woman but nowhere near Gram’s height. And she was thinner than he felt comfortable with. It was as if she was supposed to have more to her but didn’t. As irrational as it sounded, he wanted to feed her, care for her, and protect her.
Not to mention fuck her.
It had been three days since he’d taken the injections but he still saw her. His last time seeing her had left him acting like a fool. He’d rushed into the hallway as fast as he could, considering the condition he was in, and he’d nearly knocked over his close friend Garth, who had been coming to check on him.
