CHAPTER TWENTY

The whole journey back to Julie passed quickly, as things always did when Luke thought of her. He pondered how he would connect with her once he arrived. It was time. He could feel it. The pull of the moon was always strongest with the new moon. Since that's when transformations occurred, and having felt things change with her lately, he knew it wouldn't take another cycle for her to change. Luke had assisted many new wolf transformations through the years and he knew the signs when it was pending. Julie was showing those signs. The dreams he's heard her cry out from, the longer than normal runs and even a very subtle change in her body, were all signals that her time was near.

It was imperative that he connect with her tonight. The tricky part was how to do it without scaring her and ruining any chance of the trust he needed her to have in him. Though it would begin on a false premise, he would come clean soon after and explain to her what was coming. He only hoped she was strong enough not to run away screaming!

Coming into town he passed a corner gas station and saw a map display on the counter. Perhaps he could appeal to her "community service" tendencies and be the lost citizen new to the area! He knew she had a good heart, and community service was what she did for a living after all. He'd have to wing it from there, see how things go at first contact to know where to go next. He'd also have to see if he could get her talking about her past. Knowing that her memories have been suppressed all these years could make this harder than usual, but, she seemed strong and capable. He didn't take her for the type of woman who couldn't handle a bit of stress in her life. He just hoped it wasn't more than she could handle.

After buying the map, he turned towards her neighborhood. Having been there many times he could get there with his eyes closed. Playing this "lost boy scenario" he had decided to use, was going to be interesting, if not a bit of fun! Finally being that close to her was what he'd been waiting for, for a very long time. Finding himself smiling about what was to come, he thought, "What is wrong with me!? I'm acting like a love sick school boy and I haven't even met her yet. I need to get my head in the game! This could easily go badly and we could end up with a female Levi Rigland running around." Stopping short, he shook his head. "NOPE, that is not an option," he said out loud. He'd never let that happen to Julie. If he had to throw her over his shoulder and take her off someplace secluded to be sure it was done right, then that's what he'd do! He just hoped it wouldn't come to that.
