CHAPTER SEVEN

The storm broke not long after that, but the electricity didn’t come back on. I was still starving, and I went through the kitchen looking for food. But Hudson found me in there and stopped me.

“We can’t eat the food now. We’ll need to ration it for later, okay? Tonight, we’ll shift again and go hunting.”

I hated that idea. “I don’t want to shift, not again. I hate shifting. It hurts.”

“It doesn’t have to hurt,” said Hudson. “In fact, it shouldn’t.”

“Well, it does.” I lifted my chin. “And it always has. Maybe I’m just not meant to be a werewolf.” But I did think of the effortless way that both Kale and Hudson had turned into wolves last time with a bit of envy.

“You’re fine,” said Hudson. “It just takes a bit of practice.” He raised his voice. “Kale! Let’s help Piper shift, okay?”

Kale ambled out into the living room. He’d been back in the den, working on repairing the leak now that the rain had stopped. It was still light outside, and the sun had come back out, so we could see fairly well inside the house, but I knew that it would be much darker later, and we’d have to use the candles that we’d found in the kitchen drawers. I wasn’t looking forward to days without electricity, which is what they both said we’d have ahead of us.

I wasn’t sure which seemed worse. No power or shifting into a wolf.

“Please,” I said. “Don’t make me do it again, Hudson.” My voice was a whine, and I sounded pathetic, but I didn’t care. This entire experience had wrecked me, wearing down at my reserves and changing me to something weak and pathetic. I didn’t even like myself anymore.

“Come on, Piper, it’s not that bad,” said Hudson.

He and Kale took me out on the patio. We could still open the sliding doors, even though one was covered in plywood.

“You know,” said Hudson, “not all wolves can shift like this, not even natural wolves. This is actually something Kale figured out when we were in high school.”

Kale’s face turned bright red. “You’re not going to tell her that part, are you?”

“It’s the easiest way to learn to do it,” said Hudson. “See, most natural wolves only shift on the full moon.”

“Did you? But that old guy of the conclave seem to think that you guys can shift any time you want.” I was confused.

“Well,” said Hudson, “most elder members of the conclave are advanced enough that they can shift at will. It’s generally something, however, that a wolf in our conclave doesn’t learn how to do until he’s older. Kale and I figured it out when we were teenagers. Well, Kale figured it out anyway.”

Kale’s face was still red. “Man, don’t tell her about that. It’s embarrassing.”

Hudson shrugged. “Fine, then you tell her about it.”

“Tell me about what?” I said.

Kale cast a glance heavenward. “I was just a normal teenager. I started shifting when I was about fourteen, like everyone else.
