Chapter 176

(Cole’s POV)
My wolf starts whining loudly as soon as the mule pulls into a spot at the north end of the pack house. How I’m even recognizing the pack house is a mystery as I’m really struggling with maintaining my mind in the present. Lucas coming after me again has put me back, damn near to where I was when I got here.
The more I come back to reality the more it physically and mentally hurts, discouraging me from keeping the connection. Is it odd to say I can choose not to be here? But then again it’s not any better to be in my own head, filled with the terrible memories of my childhood and my not so distant past.
