Abigail
Abigail was sure she wasnât the only one who had noticed the tension in the air. It was hot, almost unbearably so.
And with the full moon rising above the nearest hill, peeking out like a silvery-white disk of power, every wolf in the Moonstone pack was itching to run.
But the wolves of the Moonstone pack were also civilized.
They would not shift and run until their alpha had given them permission. And besides, they had to make it through the pack dinner first.
Abigail had begun helping in the kitchen in the evenings after she finished tutoring the pups of the Moonstone pack, and tonight was no different. They had finished cooking the meal and brought it out to the communal space around seven in the evening. The beautiful fragrances of the food seemed to be intensified by the extreme heat, and Abigail saw that several of the younger wolves practically jumped around in their seats. Everyone was more ready for the run than they were for dinner.
Abigail took her place beside Dominic and was surprised to see Luke on the other side of her.
He must have noticed her surprise because he smiled wryly. âDominic said I should sit here.â
âOh. That was nice of him,â Abigail said slowly and then looked over at Dominic.
He smiled down at her as he made a toast. âTo all the new guests we have welcomed in the past few weeks.â He placed a hand on her shoulder while Luke took her hand underneath the table. âWeâre glad to have you here.â After the toasts, Nic made a different speech. âI know weâre all excited for our full moon run tonight.

Abigail could tell the almost unnatural heat was affecting the wolves. And it seemed to be affecting the rest of the plant and animal life that existed within the Moonstone pack territory too.
Usually, Abigailâs senses were almost overwhelmed by the sounds of the small animals that lived in the forests surrounding the pack compound. But tonight, as the last whispers of red-gold sunlight disappeared beneath the horizon, and the full moon rose high and bright in its majestic entirety in the nighttime sky, Abigail heard nothing.
There was no sound of chirping coming from the sugar maple and pine trees. No sounds of scurrying through the thick undergrowth of the forests.
Nothing.
Maybe the birds, chipmunks, skunks, and squirrels knew the wolves would be coming out that night.
The trees and other foliage didnât make a sound either. They were usually as noisy as the animals, but with no wind to whip through them, they waited in silence.
When Nic finally sat down, and the Moonstone pack wolves could eat, Abigail scooped spoons of food onto her plate. Luke helped her, handing her bowls of food that were passed down the table, which she then handed to Nic.
As the night passed, and the wolves began to
