“He wouldn’t do that. It’s what they said down at the station too, but I know him. He wouldn’t do that,” Taryn said into her phone. She pulled a cigarette out of her pack with shaky fingers and reached for her lighter. I watched as she flicked it with her thumb to no avail. “Damn it, I’ve already told you! He’s gone! Something happened to him!”

I slowed my walk so I could listen to her conversation. The knots in my stomach doubled in size. Was her boyfriend, Glenn, the wolf I’d heard in the woods last Friday night? Was the blood I’d seen his?

Taryn thought something had happened to him. While I wasn’t one hundred percent sure the two situations were related, I had a gut feeling they might be.

“Yeah well, my gut is telling me something is wrong, Candace. Aren’t you the one who’s always telling me to listen to my intuition? Pretty damn ironic that now I am and you’re telling me I’m wrong, that I’m overreacting. Screw you,” Taryn grumbled before she hung up.

Candace was her older sister. She’d practically raised her when their mother committed suicide after finding out what their father and they were. Apparently, some people could handle the supernatural world better than others could. Candace and Taryn’s mother hadn’t been one of them. Their dad died shortly after. Everyone said it was from a broken heart. I believed it. I’d seen the effects of one firsthand. Some days I was surprised Dad was still alive.

“Hey, Taryn,” I said when she didn’t seem to notice me. She flinched at the sound of my voice. “Um…Are you okay?”

“No.” She shook her head and took a long drag off her cigarette. “I’m so far from okay it’s not even funny.”

When she shifted her full attention to me, I could see how distraught she was. Taryn was only two years older than I was, but as I stared at her, it seemed as though she had a decade on me. Her eyes were hollowed out and her body looked frail and bony. She reminded me of a junkie. One an officer would show pictures to teens of to help stop them from doing drugs. It was sad really, because I could remember a time when she was beautiful. Her hair hadn’t always been banana yellow from bad box dye jobs, and her face wasn’t always so worn with worry.

Life had aged Taryn, and as she sat in a crappy fold-up chair, puffing away on her cigarette, I knew it wasn’t done yet.

Especially not if what I thought might have happened to Glenn was true.

“Anything I can do to help?” I asked, even though I knew there was probably nothing.

“Not unless you’ve seen Glenn.” Her dark brown eyes lifted to lock with mine.

“Sorry. I haven’t seen him. What happened? Did you two get in a fight?”

I prayed she would tell me that was all it was, the two of them had gotten into an argument and he’d taken off like I knew he’d done in the past.
