TWENTY-SIX

MORNINGS and Demi were not friends. That’s why she usually skipped them. This one was especially unwelcome for reasons that escaped her sleep-fogged brain. Also weird. Even before she opened her eyes, nothing was right. Her bed was too hard. Someone—a man—was talking way too close by, which made no sense. Mrs. MacGruder didn’t allow people to just wander around on . . .

Her eyes opened. She wasn’t in the trailer she rented from Mrs. MacGruder. She was on the run, hiding out in a tent in a clearing in the woods. Just outside that tent were Rule Turner and fifty-six more lupi.

That got her sitting up, but then she didn’t know what to do, with none of her usual morning actions available. There was no bathroom, no Wi-Fi, no clock. She had to think it through. She did have clean clothes, but only one set, and since she couldn’t shower, there didn’t seem much point in changing anything but her underwear. But there was a latrine.

She grimaced. A trench, that’s all it was, which was why she didn’t much care for camping out. It hadn’t been too smelly and nasty, though. Most of the time, Mike had told her, the lupi didn’t use the latrine, it being simpler to take care of business as a wolf. At least there was toilet paper.

The tent wasn’t tall enough for her to stand up, which made putting on clean tighty-whities awkward, especially since she was sore from last night’s hiking. Her thighs, mostly, though her calves were a bit achy, too. She pulled her jeans back on, thought about getting out clean socks, and decided it could wait. Washing stuff wasn’t going to be easy here, and she’d put on clean socks last night after bandaging her blister. Then she eyed the coiled elastic bandage she’d set on top of her backpack and shrugged. Didn’t seem much point in binding her breasts when everyone knew she was a girl. She didn’t have a bra, but the shirt was big and sloppy and her breasts were small, so that shouldn’t matter.

She pulled on last night’s socks and her shoes, grabbed the roll of TP that Mike had given her last night, and reached for the flute case. She needed to return that.

Her hands were shaky. She looked down at them, surprised. She was scared? She thought hard, trying to identify the fluttery feeling. Happy, scared, uncertain . . . giddy. That was the word.

It turned out her fantasy hadn’t been ruined after all. She was practically living it. Fifty-six lupi, half of them in wolf-form, waited on the other side of the canvas flap. She was giddy with lupi.

It was very bright outside. The air smelled like coffee and bacon and spices. There were a couple men near the stone-edged fire, but most of the lupi were at the other end of the clearing—some on two legs, some on four. They were listening to that man who’d talked to Rule Turner when they first arrived last night.
