CHAPTER FOUR

The evening air was cool against her overheated skin. Amber jogged silently through the trees, following the leaf covered trail. Her suede hiking boots were well worn, and the light gray t-shirt she wore was, too. She wished she had saved her old worn out clothes. Unfortunately, she’d burned most of her threadbare clothing and purchased more the month before. The jeans were new and she really didn’t want to mess them up with her planned activities for the evening. Clothes were just too damned expensive for her to ruin them over a loser like Gerald.

The sun was sinking low in the sky, with pinks, purples, and blues mixing together in a kaleidoscope of color. Amber knew this was her night, the evening she had been born twenty-six years earlier. As it was then, tonight, there was a full moon and she felt its powerful pull on her senses. Finally, the change was upon her and the nudges on her mind were becoming insistent pushes. Her skin was alternatingly itching and tingling, continually crawling all over her body. The pain in her head was a constant companion. Earlier in the afternoon, when she had tried to eat the food the waitress had placed in front of her at the diner, she’d pushed it away. She wanted fresh meat and the processed mess in front of her had twisted her stomach into knots.

All throughout the day, soon, she had to keep telling herself and her wolf to calm her nerves. Soon it would be time for her to shift. For years, she had planned for this long awaited night. She had cancelled her reservation for the motel room she had rented for the week and cleared out her belongings. Renting a camping space was easy enough and she pulled her jeep in front of her spot and set up the tent she had bought earlier that morning. She figured sooner or later, she might need one anyway. This time she would not be using it much, but she had to make it look as if the camp was occupied and threw some clothing in on the sleeping bag. She left her large green backpack locked in the small toolbox she’d had installed in her jeep, only carrying with her a small pack which would not get in her way. The campsite where Gerald was staying was a couple miles around the other side of the mountain, in a very remote spot where people didn’t camp too often. With her werewolf genetics she really didn’t need the exercise to stay in shape, jogging tens miles a day allowed her to release pent up energy. Reaching his campsite would require little effort.

The waiting is what took its toll on her nerves, and realizing her mistake of not finding Gerald sooner, she had surveyed more of the area a little further. She found Klamath’s National Forest was large and she could run for days without being seen. The park was teaming with enough game to keep her wolf fed.
