As soon as I step into the dim passage, the exit behind me seals off.

Again, I’m reminded of the stone mountain in Lunaris, and a chill ripples down my spine. I stare at the walls hoping my wolf-shadow will appear, and when nothing happens, I feel more alone than before.

There’s a tightening around my wrist, and I remember my horario. It’s camouflaged, but I can still feel its presence. Like a friend’s grip on my arm.

I don’t know if this does anything, but I cup my hand around it, hoping it’s like a hug.

The air down here isn’t earthy and musty, but crisp and cool, like air conditioning. The passage ahead seems to be unending, and after a while, I get bored of walking, so I break into a run. The speed is exhilarating, and I let myself go until I start to transform.

A silent scream parts my lips as my bones elongate, my hair thickens, my edges sharpen—and when I shift into a lobizona, a light materializes ahead, and I leap into a bright, open space.

I land on my feet, knees bent, claws at the ready, as I behold … a recording studio.

There’s a couch facing a large mirror, which by now I know to be a camera. Yet the mirror is completely dark. There’s a red button beside it that I assume I must hit to begin.

Off to the side, there’s a smaller area with a bathroom and a large vanity full of products and accessories, plus a rack of fresh clothes. I pull off Zaybet’s cloak and set it on the couch. Then I feel a tug in my uterus.

Pain rips through my body as my bones shrink, my fangs and claws recede, my hair thins out, until at last, I’m human-sized again.

Only I’m no longer alone. Someone else arrived while I was transforming.

Someone with an unmistakable almond scent.

“¿Mami?”
