Chapter Five

Prosper Woods Chronicle. Letters to the Editor:

“Yesterday I found a giant mound of bear scat. Can someone tell me why Prosper Woods is plagued with this when everyone knows bears don’t shit in the woods?” Signed, “Asking for a friend.”

Greg

“We’ve got a big problem,” Floyd said.

I watched my alpha pace back and forth in front of the bonfire we’d lit in a clearing on pack land in the woods. The town of Fredrick is where we made our home, five miles from Prosper Woods. The town was much smaller than Prosper Woods by far, housing only members of our werewolf pack and their families. My best friend Sam Jackson sat beside me on one of the benches we’d set up in a horseshoe around the bonfire.

All twenty-three adult members of our pack gathered at the bonfire once a month on the full moon to run through the woods and hunt. We usually hunted for small animals but if there was a deer nearby, that’s where we’d turn our attention. Floyd had called us together two weeks into the month which had to mean there was something important going on. I settled back on the bench where I sat beside my best friend and waited for our alpha to elaborate.

Floyd Reardon was a big man, standing almost six foot five inches, an inch shorter than me, the tallest member of our pack. When he changed to his werewolf form, Floyd was nearly as big and wide as I was but as our alpha, he had the ability to change into his half wolf half man form as well. That made killing him nearly impossible because it was when he was strongest, standing nearly seven feet tall in that form. I was awed by him when he took this form and it was a beautiful thing to watch him take down a large animal during a hunt. I’d seen him rip a massive wild boar into tiny pieces with only tooth and claw.

No one challenged Floyd. Not only was he a man with great strength in his changed form, but he was one of those rare individuals who commanded the obedience of every pack member. As alpha he was the law and no one questioned his decisions regardless of how cruel they seemed sometimes. Floyd Reardon was a fair alpha most of the time but even when he was at his most cruel, he demanded submission from the rest of us. Only a fool would challenge the man though many outsiders had tried. I’d watched many men from outside packs fall by the swipe of Floyd’s claws.

“A vampire has moved into Prosper Woods,” Floyd announced.

A cacophony of murmurs began around Sam and me as me as the pack members began to look around at each other and talk. When Floyd raised his hand, everyone shut their mouths.

“How do you know?” Clancy asked. Clancy Barrows was the oldest member of our pack, sixty-eight in human years. He’d lived through the reign of five alphas, Floyd’s being his last.
