"Can I help you?" she drawled.

The nurse who had escorted Rachel was in on it, as were the doctors. They were all part of a conspiracy to create an army of mindless, lupine creatures, driven solely by their basest instincts.

Rachel felt a shiver run down her spine. There was something wrong about this woman, something that made her skin crawl.

Rachel's eyes narrowed. "I think there's been a mistake. I have a call from Dr. Ellis himself, confirming my visit."

Maya smiled, revealing pointed teeth. "Lupus, the wolf. I've been infected with a... condition. A virus that's changing me. Making me into something else."

"Welcome," the woman said in a low, husky voice. "I've been waiting."

As Rachel listened in horror, Maya revealed the truth about the Lupus Detention House. It was a front, a cover for inhumane experiments designed to create a new breed of super-soldiers. The patients were test subjects, infected with a mysterious virus that amplified their aggression and strength.

The nurse stopped at a door marked " Ward 3". She produced a keycard and swiped it, unlocking the door.
