Chapter 23

Day 11, Friday

By lunch time on Friday, all of the women had met their wolves. They were pretty shell-shocked when they filed into the dining room. Abby was at the head table with Jake and Stefan. She had spent the morning walking laps and planning things out with Jake. It surely beat office hours, she thought amused.

“Let me be clear,” Abby said, “what was done to us was wrong. It was without our consent. But it is done. There is no reversing it. And there are huge benefits. This improvement in our health and well-being will continue. Shifters live a long time, and we will too.”

“How long?” Synde asked.

“Synde? You know you can’t write about this, right?” Abby asked.

Synde rolled her eyes. “As if anyone would believe if I did,” she said. Abby waited. She’d dealt with the press before. And that wasn’t a promise — it was a deflection.

I will not write about any of this,” Synde agreed.

Abby nodded once. She looked at Benny, who looked the youngest of the coaches. “Benny when did you graduate from college?” she asked.

“1980,” he said. “And I was older than I looked then. I think I’m 64 years old — eligible for social security soon. Things got a little confused during Pol Pot’s reign.”

The women looked at him in silence. Benny looked mid-20s. And youthful — boyish — even for that.

“Is everyone at the resort a shifter?” Emma asked. Abby nodded. “Who is eldest?”

Abby looked around. Yui raised her hand. “Probably me,” she said. “I was 7 when they sent the Japanese Americans to the internment camps. I am 86 years old.” She looked like she was approaching 30. “Okami is older than I am,” she added. “A lot older.”

“And we will continue to get healthier and look younger?” Marilyn said. “I’m not sure I see much downside to this?”

“Other than having a new taste for lamb when I go back to the ranch?” Rachel said.

There was silence. Rachel looked around. “Will I be going back to the ranch?” she asked slowly.

“We’ll have time to talk about that before the summer is over,” Abby said, because she didn’t know the answer. She wasn’t sure anyone did. “But you might want to think what your neighbors would say if a 30-year-old shows up claiming to be you.”

Rachel chewed on her lip. She nodded shortly. “I assume shifters — is that what we’re called, not werewolves? — have some of that figured out.”

“We do,” Benny said. “And we will help you with it.”

“Children? Grandchildren?” Maria asked. “What do we tell them?”

“Nothing for now,” Abby said firmly. “They don’t expect to hear from you for two more months. By then? We’ll have a plan. We are the first cohort to have a say in our futures.”

“What happened to previous cohorts, then?” Synde said sharply.

Abby told them, and they all looked at Stefan with disfavor. Abby wouldn’t want to be Stefan and get caught alone after dark. These were some pissed-off women. “We will find them and bring them home,” she promised.
