Shim toweled off his short hair and pulled clean clothes from his duffle. The contents of his room in the main Haus had been transferred. He would be sleeping in the barracks until Rekkus told him otherwise. Gathering his dirty clothes, he paused. The T-shirt still carried Ceara’s heat and spice. He shoved it under his pillow, refusing to examine his motivation for doing so. He donned a fresh shirt and pants. He would be going to dinner after his session with Ben, so he might as well be ready.

The kid sat on his bed, reading a book, when Shim knocked on the doorframe, startling him a little. He stayed outside the room, not wanting to crowd the boy by invading his territory. Ben might be only fifteen, but the boy matched him in height. He was broader, too, although a lot less graceful. The sweet-natured young man was diffident, a little too conscious of his size. Had he hurt someone by accident, or was he struggling to adjust to a recent growth spurt?

“Hey, Ben. I want to stretch my legs and thought maybe you would like to join me.” The naked delight on the boy’s face eased the stress inside Shim. Pushing thoughts of Ceara out of his mind, he concentrated on his task. The diminishment of his own prowl robbed him of the chance to mentor young shifters. They strolled away from the barracks in companionable silence, wending their way to the training fields. Steering his charge around the perimeter, Shim gave the young man a chance to settle himself in the presence of a very dominant elder.

“Have you been to the island before, Ben?” He kept his voice quiet, and the young cub nodded but didn’t speak. Smiling to himself, he tried again. “Well, you will know the area better than I do, then. Why don’t you show me your favorite spot?”

Ben glanced sideways at Shim, and, after receiving a nod of encouragement, took the lead, heading away from the fields toward the river which ran close by. Trees and large boulders lined the banks. Ben selected a square, flat-topped stone, clambering on top with an agility belying his size. Shim leapt up, trying not to think about the dolmen in the middle of the stone circle. He settled cross-legged on the boulder, facing the water. Ben took off his shoes, letting his feet dangle over the edge so they hung above the slow-moving river. The boy had chosen a peaceful spot, quiet except for the rippling water and the odd splash of a fish breaking the surface. Excited barks from the little wolf pack carried on the breeze as Rekkus put the other boys through their paces far away on the training field.

Shim cast his mind back to a long time ago, remembering the excitement and uncertainty of being on the cusp of adulthood. The pull of the moon like a siren he couldn’t ignore, bringing uncontrollable changes and the urge to rut on anything remotely female.
