Gabriel finally knows what he is. A creature that can become others. A shifter. An ability hard learned from fear and the scar of a bullet. The ivory prison Gabriel grew up in is not so bleak anymore. He is no longer confined within those four walls. He is no longer alone. He has Dr. Mercier, the facility’s second in command, the first person to show him kindness, and he has Lukas, the only other shifter Gabriel has ever met. Gabriel has healed from his almost execution, he and Lukas have spent the last few months preparing for what they were created. Now the time for training is over and the people that made Gabriel and Lukas demand that they work. These demands cannot be refused. Gabriel knows that he can survive anything as long as Lukas is with him, but every day is a struggle because Lukas, the one person Gabriel trusts in the world, keeps pulling away, and the promise Lukas made Gabriel, to never let the people that kept them in cages tear them apart, is no more than a memory.
