Eight pounds. That was all it would take for him to crush her wind-pipe. She had an advantage that deer did not, and her thick throat fur would protect her, but for how long? He could choke her to death. He could listen to her death rattle and bury her in the dirt beyond their borders. Who would care? Inferni was falling apart. Sage would follow her sisters into the abyss beyond their borders. Nothing mattered but what came of Inferni. Kharma was wrong—Ezekiel could no more run away from the clan as he could run from the damn ghost-deer.
She finally stilled beneath him. Ezekiel held her there, bleeding onto her roan pelt, and he knew now that things had forever changed. After what felt like an eternity he released her, fur and blood sticking to his gums. A red tongue rolled up to the roof of his mouth, tasting his own blood. Panting, the coy-wolf settled onto his haunches.
The earth turned under his feet, but he no longer felt it move.
