on your life.”
“Are you sure they didn’t experiment on you?” Murdock asked as he walked over to the bikes with his mate at his side.
“No, and you’re not riding with me naked. Ride with my brother Law. He won’t care. The guy likes dick up his ass.” Tryck pointed over to the man that had held Heaven.
Murdock growled. He may owe this shifter, but maybe part of that repayment could be a lobotomy. Law smirked and handed him a pair of sweats.
“If we run into one more damn person, I’m gonna be out of clothes,” the brother who had yet to be introduced grumbled.
“Let’s ride.” Tryck cursed as he picked his bike up and looked it over. “You owe me for repairs,” he told Murdock.
“Just get me and Heaven home. We’ll work the rest out later.” Murdock stared off into the woods, committing to memory the location. He would be back, and whoever was inside would pay.
“You can ride with Law. Let Heaven ride with Dagon. He’s harmless.”
“Are you always this controlling?” Murdock asked as pulled the sweats on then climbed behind Law. As much as he wanted to protest his mate on the back of a bike holding onto someone else, they had no choice if they wanted to make it home. Besides, Heaven wasn’t looking too good right now.
“Yep.”

Heaven lay on his side curled up as the wolf doctor stared at the sonogram pictures he had taken. The gorgeous man who claimed to be his mate sat on the bed rubbing his hand up and down Heaven’s arm.
“I can’t—” The doctor cleared his throat. “I can’t believe what I’m seeing. It’s medically impossible.”
“Will you just tell us, damn it?” Murdock snapped.
The doctor shook his head. “I’m dumbfounded. It seems your mate was given a womb.”
Heaven gasped. His hands fluttered down to his belly, feeling the incision that had already healed. He had shifted at the Alpha’s advice and allowed his body to heal once they arrived here. His memory was still blank, but fragmented bits and pieces had started flashing in his mind.
“What the hell does that mean?” Heaven demanded as he sat up. A womb? He had been turned into a female?
“It means that you now have a womb inside of you. Although I don’t see how they accomplished this or how you can become fertile without a vaginal opening to accept any sperm.” The doctor started shaking his head back and forth again as he stared at the picture in front of him. “You’re still male though.” The doctor talked to the picture instead of them. “How intriguing.”
“So I can’t become pregnant?” Heaven’s head was spinning out of control. Just what had those freaks done to him? His heart was beating out of control at the thought of having something implanted in him.
No, he couldn’t do this. “Get it out!” he screamed hysterically as he pulled at his stomach, clawing to reopen it and tear away the abomination surgically implanted in him.
“Heaven.” Murdock grabbed his wrists and pulled his hands away from the bleeding flesh.
“Get it out, please.” He sobbed to Murdock. The man pulled Heaven into his arms, but at this point nothing was going to sooth him.

“I’m afraid to even attempt to,” the doctor said sadly. “I don’t know what they did or even what harm could come from any effort to remove it.”
“Don’t sound so damn awed.” Murdock growled.
“From a medical standpoint, I am. The ingenious way they constructed this…it’s nothing short of a miracle.”
“But can he get pregnant?” Murdock repeated Heaven’s question.
“I can’t be one hundred percent be sure, but I doubt it. He must have been rescued before they finished what they were striving to achieve. What their goal was is beyond me, but I doubt Heaven can conceive.”
Heaven was relieved to hear this. The thought of carrying a child scared the hell out of him.
“Be careful, you two. Whoever did this is going to want Heaven back. This
