Caleb couldn’t sleep. He had had trouble with insomnia before, so it wasn’t a surprise that he couldn’t pass out when he had gone to bed so early, hoping to catch two hours of rest before going out to hunt the rogue werewolf together with Daniel. Too many thoughts were rushing through his mind, making him anxious and fidgety. The prospect of going on patrol made him feel a bit better, especially since he had felt suffocated during the past week. On the other hand, it didn’t mean it wouldn’t be dangerous.

He sat back up in bed and sighed. It was too early to meet Daniel. One more hour until midnight. He could wait for one hour, right?

He ran his hands through his hair, pulling at a couple of strands. He considered reading to make the time pass faster, but he had finished all the books in his room, and that meant going to the library. He didn’t feel like it. Instead, he got up and went to the window. It was dark, and the forest beyond the gates was covered in snow. Fortunately, there were no clouds in the sky, so the moon shined brightly, allowing him to see far into the distance. Werewolves had no trouble seeing at night, but a bit of moonlight couldn’t hurt. As his eyes scanned the empty courtyard, they fell on the stone table where Daniel and Rosanna played chess almost every day. Once again, thoughts of Rosanna flooded his mind. He had an odd feeling that in the past week he had thought more about her than about Val. Oh, and he had felt guiltier for having made her cry than for having survived Val’s death. Something was changing inside him, but he had no idea if it was good for him or not. Could anything be good for him anymore?

“Are you mad at me, Valerie?” He looked up at the sky, as if she was there and she could hear him. “Are you mad that your best friend seems to have taken your place in my mind?”

He was acting stupid. No one had taken Val’s place. Not Rosanna, not any other woman. It was just a phase he was going through.

Caleb looked around the dark room.

“I can’t stay here,” he whispered to himself. “I need fresh air.”

He walked out of his room, making sure he didn’t make a sound. The whole castle seemed to be asleep. Carefully, he made his way down the stairs to the main hall and the tall, heavy door. Once outside, he took a deep breath. His lungs welcomed the icy air of February. Initially, he had just wanted to take a walk, but now that he was here, he had a better idea.

“Why not catch this rogue wolf before he really hurts someone? There’s no need to put Daniel in danger, as well. I can do it.”

Determined, he headed to the gates while unbuttoning his shirt. Once he was out of the courtyard, he discarded his clothes and shifted in a matter of seconds.
