Drake slammed the door. His mother gathered her flowing cape around her shoulders.Out in his car, Drake gripped the wheel. His mother’s words clawed at his mind.“I heard Elena’s voice when I was on the phone with Gerald this morning.”The growl built in his throat,, as the memory struck deeper. Driving fast through the dark road, he let one hand rest on the wheel while the other dragged through his hair. Memories clawed their way back without mercy.He was young again, back in high school, when the pack had sent their pups to a military training camp.
