*****

There was, of course, a flying monkey wrench in my plan. The ful moon was only two nights away. With the ful moon fast approaching, and the pack preparing to get furry, Emma and I would soon be on our own.

“I’m so sorry,” Cal said. “We can stay through tomorrow evening, but by midnight Sunday we should be on the road for Wolf Camp. Normal y I’d leave Simon here with you, but with everything going on with Gabriel…”

“No, take Simon with you,” I said. “We’l be alright.”

“Promise you’l cal Gordy or your parents if the J-team comes anywhere near you?” Cal asked.

“Seriously, I’l dial 9-1-1 if they come near me again,” I said. “I’m not taking any chances.”

Cal reached out and slid his hand into mine, our fingers interwoven like two vines grown together over time. It was difficult to tel where I ended and he began. I made a silent, selfish wish that he didn’t have to leave.

I squeezed Cal’s hand and he pul ed me to his chest.

His eyes darkened as I reached up with my free hand to run my fingers along his tanned neck. Even during the depths of Maine winter he managed to maintain his sun-kissed complexion. Cal let his shaggy hair fal into his face, tilting his head down as a shiver coursed through his body.

“I real y wish that I didn’t have to go,” Cal said.

“I know,” I said.

“I love you,” Cal said. “I would do anything for you.”

“Then kiss me,” I said, pulse racing.

Cal’s lips met mine and our hands parted so he could run his fingers down my back. He left a tingling trail of sensation everywhere he touched. I pressed closer, but Cal pul ed away with a sigh.

“We better slow down,” Cal said.

“Wow, um, yeah,” I said. “Good idea.”

At some point during our kiss I had started panting and Cal looked disheveled. Had I done that to his hair? My traitorous fingers twitched as I restrained myself from running them through his shaggy locks. Yes, that must have been me. Definitely time to cool down.

Emma chose that moment to walk back in from outside. She had exited the cabin to take a cal from her mom before Cal had a chance to tel us about the ful moon. Our crazy kiss had gone unnoticed. I hope.

“Sorry guys, but I need to go home early,” Emma said.

“Yuki, rain check on our movies and ice cream night?”

“Sure, no problem,” I said.

“Everything okay?” Cal asked.

“Yes, just my parents wanting a family night,” Emma said. “I think the empty nest thing is starting. Ever since I got accepted to Tufts University, they’ve been acting strange. Fortunately for me, they have a house ful of pets.

There’s no way they’l be lonely when I’m gone.”

“Tel your mom I said hi,” I said.

“Um, Emma?” Cal said. “I was just tel ing Yuki, but I have to leave for Wolf Camp tomorrow night with the rest of the pack. It’s almost the ful moon…”

“Don’t worry,” Emma said.
