"Why didn't you try to save me from them? Why did you let them turn me into a monster?" He snarled. "After you left, I became one with the wolves.

"You can't run from me. You can't hide from me. You have no choice but to--" He leaned in close to her, his breath reeking of decay "--come with me, Eagle."
