CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Drek

D rek didn’t realize he would die at the hand of his pack, that Bowen would die in his stead, or that his female whelpmate would be brutalized by Neil and his knot of supporters.

Drek eyes the water from flat on his stomach. Rolling over on his back with a raw groaning exhale, he flattens his wolfen palm on his lower stomach. Holding his guts within the cavity of his body, Drek uses his other hand to drag his beaten body toward the shore.

The task takes over an hour, during which time, he passes the limbs and dismembered corpses of four males.

He’s shared meals and laughter with these males. A commonality of caretaking of the Hoh.

No. In the end, they’d craved only power. Now they were dead for their efforts. And Drek can feel his own life slipping away. He hasn’t saved Tahlia. He’s only delayed them from hurting her.

Hopefully, she used her wits and has gone to the Northwestern. She has a good lead ahead of Neil.

He made certain that the damage he meted would not be healed easily.

Then he needed to choose between leaving Drek to die a painful and slow death alone or losing ground on Tahlia.

Drek won’t kid himself. Neil was spurred into action sooner because of Tahlia.

He wants her for himself, and now she’s in heat, a delectable female.

Moon. This is all his life has come to—a pack decimated by internal strife and power struggles.

His female is in a fragile state because of her first breeding cycle, and there’s nothing he can do but slow the wheel that Neil has put into motion.

Drek is so thirsty.

He finally reaches the shore and dips his lips to the cold water. Something hot spreads around him, and he keeps drinking.

When his blood colors the water he drinks from, he lifts his head.

I am tired, Drek thinks as he lays his head down on the still-warm pebbles.

He will rest for a moment then maybe figure a way out of this.

The water laps at his hair, fanning it around his body as he lies dying.
