Chapter 22: The Price
Torrey's jaws were still around the man's throat.
I came back into my skin on the gravel, naked and shaking with cold, and I put my hand on Torrey's black shoulder.
"Let go of him."
He didn't move.
"Torrey. Let go."
He let go one tooth at a time.
We carried the grey up the canyon tied in Roddy's tow strap.
By the time we came over the back fence of the speedway at two in the morning, half the pack was in the pit lot.
They watched us walk him across the clay in the floodlights.
Lon wasn't there. I looked for him in every face.
The pack's lockup is an old stone powder house behind the clubhouse, built for blasting powder when they cut the canyon road.
It has walls two feet thick and a steel door with a feeding hatch in it.
We put him inside on the dirt floor with a blanket.
Then I sent everybody away except Torrey, Myra and Roddy, and I sat down on an upturned bucket in front of the grey.
"Talk," I said.
"I said for my life."
"I heard you."
"Then say it." He grinned with his broken tooth. "Say the words, Alpha. In front of your Ossler."
