Death Wolf
His t-shirt, damp and worn, obscures my face, shielding my identity from prying eyes.
I don't protest. Not this time. I don't have the strength to fight him.
The scent of leather and steel clings to him as he carries me, the steady rhythm of his heartbeat the only sound against the storm raging outside. When he lays me down, it's on something soft—a mattress. The heat of his body vanishes as he pulls away, replaced by the crisp, sterile scent of antiseptic. I push the fabric from my face, my vision adjusting to the dimly lit guest room. My clothes, soaked and clinging to my skin, are stained with mud and blood.
