Ahcehera moved swiftly through her laboratory, her mind focused entirely on the experiments before her.
She had prepared everything meticulously, ensuring every detail was accounted for.
The first test subjects were already secured, werewolves with human mates, their genetic markers carefully analyzed.
She activated the containment fields, isolating the pairs in separate chambers. Their heart rates, brain waves, and energy signatures were displayed on hovering holographic monitors.
Each mate pair was bound by fate, their souls intertwined through an ancient connection that Ahcehera sought to disrupt.
She started with the first test, injecting a serum derived from the crystalline shard into the werewolf male.
It contained compounds that targeted the neural pathways associated with mate bonding, suppressing the instinctual pull.
