The night was quiet and still. With the moon full in the sky, not even the owls dared to make a sound. My eyes snapped open. Whatever the sensation was that I felt back in Norway, pulling me to this part of America like a magnetic force, it was coming to a head.

I was ready—or at least as prepared as I could be. The front door was nailed shut and not an option. The back one had a stout lock that would hold. For a while, anyway. Not that they were going to get that close. Not if the dog repellent and wards I carved to the wood of the doors held, preventing approach by all manner of monster, both human and otherwise.

I got out of the bed, taking great care not to wake Leah. This wasn’t her problem, and I would do everything I could to keep her safe. And she would be safe as long as she was in the cabin.

I already had the cup in the fridge, where Leah hadn’t seen it. I had made the spell a few days before just in case, collecting ingredients from the surrounding woods, making up the elixir on the stove. I guess it could have been called magic, and it was under a specific definition. Real magic had nothing to do with zapping people or whatever. It was using elements of nature, from plants to the power of the universe, to cause particular effects. It was something most werewolves could do because of our connection to the universe.

Putting the cup in the sink and filling it with water, I went to the door, inching it open, reminding myself to get some oil for the hinges. It sounded like a damn haunted house.

The night was cool, though I didn’t feel it, despite my naked state. I stood on the back stoop, waiting for my mind to calm down to a manageable speed, doing deep breathing and focusing exercise to speed along the process. The fates were not going to wait forever.

Stepping down onto the soft grass with two feet, I walked around to the front of the cabin on four. My fur keeping the cold out even more. I resisted the urge to stop and howl at the moon. That bit of the pop culture-pushed mythology was true enough. Even though we still hated to admit it.

The air was electric, crackling with a sense I had not felt in years. The smell was unmistakable. It was the same heavy, phenomenon sent I had detected when Leah first got into the car. Only the scent out
