Bobby

He knew he should have stayed to make sure Todd was all right. But he left. He took off and ran out of the school and disappeared for days. Nobody could find him, including the police.

While Bobby was gone, the Boudreaux family swooped in and cleaned up the mess. Penny, Gavin, Vann and Ash were all pulled out of school. Todd’s parents were paid off in a settlement out of court and agreed not to sue the school. The rest of the children who had witnessed the event were told that a hallucinogen had been slipped into everyone’s food that day and that the person responsible had been dealt with. Anybody whose families didn’t buy the hallucination story was paid off handsomely.

Penny eventually found Bobby hiding in the trees behind her house one night.

She had come outside when she had first felt the urge to shift. It had been a full moon. She had just been about to corner her first rabbit when Bobby, in wolf form, pounced first.

Bobby saw the look again from Penny. Horror, betrayal. Bobby nosed the little rabbit carcass over to Penny and felt so ashamed he shifted back to his human form right then and there.

But that had been the wrong move, apparently. After watching Bobby shift again and watching expectantly for her to eat the rabbit, Penny instead pulled a Bobby. She took off running and he didn’t see her again until the next morning.

They all gathered at Jimmy and Charlene’s estate to begin their homeschool education for the next few years. It took weeks before Penny and Bobby could look each other in the eye again.

Over time, things got better. They learned to hunt as a group and eventually came to enjoy the shift.

At the age of 16, Charlene hosted a cotillion at the Boudreauxs’ country estate, specifically for shifter kids. Penny’s father even showed up to present her to society. She was a real, authentic debutante.

At the dance that followed the presentation of all the 16-year-old girls, Bobby danced with Penny. He had wanted to kiss her so badly. He thought maybe she wanted him to kiss her, but every time he thought he might dive in, all he could see in his mind was the terrified 13-year-old Penny staring at him, the monster.

At the age of 17, the wolf pack enrolled in public high school. Charlene and all the other parents agreed it was time to teach the children to mix with other kids to prepare them for the real world. Although they stuck together like glue, Penny did not go to prom with Bobby as her date. He wanted to ask, but he hadn’t. He still desperately hated himself and loved her. So, as he saw it, she deserved better. The violence that he had done in front of her—the mess he had made of everything—would keep them apart. He knew she would only ever see a monster when she looked in his eyes.
