Two days later, as Karter knelt in the window trying to place his newest items of stock into position, he saw Amy walking purposefully to his door. The bell had barely started to jingle before he pushed himself backwards onto the floor and stood up, brushed some imaginary fluff off his elegant frame and said, “Hello Amy.”

He kept his voice neutral as his brain worked furiously, wondering if she’d shared his identity as a Wolven with anyone in the town. If she had, he knew his days were numbered here. He’d be run out of town or killed if anyone suspected him of being a dangerous wolf-man.

“Hi, Karter. So you’re the mysterious Karter Wolf who runs such a successful business in Oborn. You know, I never knew your name when you helped Chris and me. And I don’t think we ever thanked you properly.” She took a step towards him.

“Look.” Karter moved back and held out his hands in a warding gesture, palms facing outwards. “I really don’t want any trouble. I’m living a peaceful life, keeping my head down.”

Amy looked shocked. “I’m not here to make things bad for you. I just wanted say hello and thanks. It doesn’t even seem enough for the risk you took. Just the fact that you’re living here, and look like you’re intending to stay, means something happened to send you away from your friends and family. I think that something was because you helped us that day.” Amy was babbling. Karter sensed her abrupt change of mood and understood she was frightened, and probably suddenly aware the man in front of her wasn’t really a man at all. She would have seen him change into a wolf, and it must have been very scary indeed for an unsuspecting human.

“We never told anyone what happened that day.”

Karter hadn’t realized he’d been holding his breath. He let out a slow sigh.

“Why?” He was curious now.

“Well, mainly because no one would have believed us. We’d just gone for a hike and then, poof, we were grabbed by these ugly men and dragged off to a very strange place.” Amy brushed some strands of hair from her cheek. “Then, of course, there was you and that stuff you did. I swear you changed into a wolf after you left us. I still don’t really believe what happened. It seems more like a nightmare we woke up from, not something we actually experienced. Chris and I have never talked about it, not even to each other.”

Karter composed himself enough to offer Amy a cup of coffee from his small coffee maker at the back of the shop. As he loaded the pods into the machine and pressed the button, he turned back to her and asked, “So, you obviously got back okay. How’s your mate, er, friend, Chris?”

“Oh, we’re fine. I know he was really wimpy when we were escaping with you, but he was so scared his brain just couldn’t make sense of what was happening.” She held out her hand for the cup filled with steaming aromatic brew.
