Shelby dashed through the brush of the forest, her paws prancing over saplings, downed trees, and jagged stumps. Ten feet to her right, Kale ran parallel to her as they corralled their prey. A large white tail buck darted from them, having caught their scent from a slight shifting breeze in the Texas humidity. That had set the game afoot.

She could feel the rest of the pack out there. Several had broken off to pursue their own game. A bunny raced away from the two remaining triplets. Dakota and Chenoa flanked those two, helping keep the bunny from darting off to the side.

Four Lycans to one bunny? Really?

Maybe it’s a werebunny, Kale thought back to her through their bond.

Shelby started. Are werebunnies—

So gullible, Brooks.

Several others of the pack helped corral the buck she and Kale pursued.

Rachel wandered off on her own, following a fox’s scent. Shelby sent her a sense of unity, of belonging. Rachel veered back toward the group, though slowly. Hesitantly.

Spending her evening hunting a helpless animal on a night when she had plenty of homework and a gymnastics meet fast approaching didn't exactly thrill Shelby, but she needed to learn to do this. To hunt. To kill. But I do know how to kill, don’t I?

The taste of Lucas’s foul blood still lingered too recently in memory, especially when in wolf form. Yes, I’m a predator, but I still need to learn to hunt. Or rather, she needed Eira to remember how to hunt. Her Immortal Wolf had been waiting for centuries to awaken, for Shelby to be reborn, for her to be ready to accept her reality. She needs this more than I do. The pack needs it too. I sacrifice my wants for them.

It is who you are, Thyra. Eira took a moment from the hunt to speak to her. Shelby could feel her wolf’s excitement and anticipation.

I still have a lot of questions, Eira. But both she and Skotha were conspicuously reticent to share more information. Shelby didn't press Eira, but part of her knew she could extract the information if she wanted to. It would be an intrusion though. And it was probably best not to piss off the wolf that lived inside of her.

Later, Eira promised. Now we hunt!

The buck scampered to the left as it passed a large oak. Kale snarled as he closed in. She felt him through their bond, even as fuzzy as it had felt lately. I need more control and practice there. She felt his anticipation, and Skotha’s within him, as they drew closer to their prey.

Skotha was large, with a black coat that seemed to shimmer as he sprinted. But his eyes were the most striking. In his human form, Kale had the most piercing hazel eyes. In his wolf, they turned amber, but kept a hazel ring near their center, remaining as piercing as ever, perhaps amplified by their stark contrast with his black coat.

The scent of fear in the air made Shelby salivate, something that surprised her.
