Chapter 40

Todd resumed his efforts, useless as they might be. He squirmed and managed to slide a few inches down the wall, pulling one shoulder forward. The threats and obscenities he tried to shout at Benning were trapped in his throat. Nothing but garbled, pathetic sounds left his mouth.

Nick’s lips were starting to turn blue, and the twitching of his limbs slowed while his eyes bulged even more. Todd experienced the odd sensation of feeling his own heartbeat become more and more sluggish. His vision was starting to gray out, and the weird choking sounds he was making sounded far away.

Todd was dying. Worse yet, he knew Nick was as well. They were separated by only a few feet, yet Todd wouldn’t even be able to hold his young mate’s hand as they died. Nick would be alone.
