Chapter 18

Molly wasn’t the only one alerted by the sound. By the time they got back to the cluster of tents, half the camp’s occupants had disappeared. The pups were missing and so were most of the men. A boy of twelve or thirteen stood by the tall woodpile with an armload of evenly cut logs. He made no move to put them down. Another boy hurried in with another load of wood, a messy tangle of long branches, but instead of carrying it to the woodpile, he took his load behind the bus.

“Macey,” Molly said behind Tommie’s shoulder and Tommie saw Samuel nod.

Samuel was sitting in his lawn chair by the front of the bus. Cora and another woman were behind the table where Boris laid out their meals. There was meat and bread on the table even though lunch was over and it was too early for supper. Another woman, laundry basket filled with dirty sheets and blankets was halfway out of Molly’s tent door. What was she doing in Molly’s tent and why was she frozen in place like the boys?

Tommie had attended a fundraiser once where volunteers had created tableaus depicting famous paintings using real people as the painted subjects. What she saw now reminded her of that fundraiser. The camp had become an eerie picture frozen in time. Something was going on here that she didn’t understand, but she could feel the vibrations of fear coursing through the women. Where were the men?

“You should be with Sarah, not me. Too late now.”

Tommie felt Molly’s tension as she tugged the back of her borrowed coat and Tommie stepped back, watching and waiting with the rest, not understanding what was going on.

Two SUV’s, moving faster than they should, pulled in. Men got out. The camp wolvers had already begun to move. It was as if the SUV’s arrival had triggered a switch. Suddenly, the camp looked as it should, though something still felt very wrong.

Samuel stood and waited for the strangers to enter the camp. He didn’t go to meet them or greet them.

Of the strangers, one stepped forward while the five others formed a semicircle behind him. The lead man seemed to grow larger and waves of power rolled off of him. Tommie had seen Bull do this and wondered how it was done.

She saw Samuel’s head bow and struggle against the submissive gesture. Cora and the woman with her looked terror stricken. Behind her, she heard Molly stiffen and whimper, and then Tommie felt it too, or rather, her wolf did. The creature wanted her to bow before this guy.

The pull was strong, but Tommie was stronger. If she didn’t bow to Bull’s show of power, she’d be damned if she bowed to this clown.

“What? No greeting for your Alpha?” the leader asked and then for Tommie, the pieces of the puzzle slid together.

This was the wolver they’d run from. This was the Alpha of their former pack.

Samuel’s voice was meek and he sounded as if he was asking rather than telling.
