Were he a few years younger, Al doubted he would’ve chosen to look to this place for sanctuary.
Now though, he chose to view it as a challenge. To embrace it even. Although he still barely knew the kid he’d met back at the ridge, Alarick had concluded that this might very well be one of his last, best opportunities to have his life mean something.
He couldn’t pass on that. Wouldn’t, even if it meant he had to descend into the literal fires of hell. If such a thing even existed.. he wasn’t so sure anymore.
Even if he had to search the whole range, he would find the kid. And then they could go from there.
