Derek Gaunt

Derek Gaunt
Derek is very loyal to his pack, but at times finds himself in harsh conditions. He is the protege of both Jim and Curran. In the begining of the series he was a troublesome teen, but now he is an independent and disciplined adult. He once  was almost pretty back then, but after being tourtured in book three, he will forever being scared, in and out. His vocal cords were also damaged in the attack, leaving him with a permanetly deep and menacing voice. Kate often refers to Derek as "boy wonder" and his devotion to her is almost fanatical, but second only to his admiration and loyalty to the Beast Lord, Curran himself. Derek, like Curran, has a profound hatred and disdain for loups, shapeshifters gone feral. He will do anything he can to protect his family, his friends, even sacrifice his own life in order to save the ones he loves. He puts his family and friends before himself, always.
