Chapter 42. Seer

I stride into the lodge to find Samara smiling at me as I arrive. She’s dressed like a hippy or a new-age witch, wearing long skirts, and a white peasant blouse. “Hello, Samara, are you waiting for me?”

“Yes, I am, actually.”

The vast space inside the lodge echoes with silence. Except for Samara, there is an absence of pulsing, animal energy.

I scan the room. “Where is everybody?”

Samara has taken out her braids, her long gray-mane falls in waves. Tucking her hair behind her ears, she replies, “They’re running together as a pack. The day before the full moon, most of us prefer to rejoice in the magic lands as wolves.”

I chuckle. “Quentin made you wait for me? What a rat. Then again, I’m glad you’re here. It might have freaked me out to see him towering here as I walked in. He’s a big, tough, scary-looking guy.”

“I chose to wait,” she says with a smile. “Quentin takes longer to shift because he was a made werewolf. You’ll be the same. Made shifters experience pain every time they change. With me, shifting is painless and immediate. That’s because I was born a werewolf. I was born before the demon’s curse.”

“Oh. That’s interesting. Stafford changes instantly and painlessly, though. Is that because he’s the pack alpha?”

“No. Stafford is an exception.”

In so many ways.

“No one is in the lodge? No one at all? Just us newbies?”

“Only you, Hope, Owen, and your charming dog.”

“What happens if someone crosses over the witch’s ward during the full moon? No one will be here to greet them if everyone’s off hunting in the woods.”

“Our Alpha closes the entry over this period. It’s shut tight right now.”

“It is?” I experience a moment of claustrophobia. “You mean no one can leave?”

She smiles. “You can leave anytime, but if I were you, I’d stay until after the full moon. The enchantment is closed off in one direction only. No one can enter.”

“I see. I’m sorry you’ve been stuck delaying your celebration, on my behalf.”

“I don’t mind.”

“Well, I won’t take any more of your time. I’ll go upstairs to visit my friends. They’re probably in their rooms.”

“I believe you are correct. Do you know the way?”

“Yes, no problem.” I hesitate, then ask, “Samara, do you mind telling me why you appeared so surprised when you first saw Hope?”

“What do you mean?”

“The moment you first laid eyes on Hope, I could tell she meant something to you. I don’t know if you dreamed about her, or she reminded you of someone you know. There is a reason. I’ve been trying to figure out what would make you react like that.”

“I’ve never met Hope in my life.”

I slant her a disappointed glance. “You didn’t answer my question.”

Samara says nothing.

“I saw the expression on your face. You were shocked. Stunned, actually. Your emotions showed for only a second, then you hid it very well. I was watching.”

Samara nods. Her hand reaches to touch the neck of my t-shirt. The expression in her gray eyes is an unspoken request of, May I?

Startled, I shrug wary approval.
