Chapter 12

Over the next few weeks, things fell into a routine of classes, lunch with Shea and the gang, then hanging out with Logan after school. We took walks, but as the weather turned cooler, there were fewer opportunities to get together during the week. We hung out on Saturdays in Dryden, catching a movie or grabbing lunch. We never went to Luciana’s Café together. I usually spent Sundays alone, hiking the trails or reading in a tree. Shea spent Sundays hanging out with Adam. I presumed Logan was catching up on schoolwork.

I understood more than ever why full moons were everyone’s favorite time. I missed my wolf and wanted to run daily, but I had to keep my wolf in check lest others find out I could already shift at will. I longed for the three days a month when we could be our full wolfish selves. I was grateful for my secret runs at Jack and Kulani’s, but their property was only a few acres big. And with school and training and friends, I only had a few opportunities to sneak away. On my long Sunday hikes, I often broke into a run to keep from shifting. My skin itched to shift.

Another full moon was coming up, and I was getting excited. I’d been named team captain for a full moon wolf game of capture the flag. Hayley had declared me the next captain after I had nabbed our opponent’s flag during our last human match. I was pretty stoked. It was so strange to be good at something physical. I always thought I was uncoordinated: other than volleyball, I wasn’t great at team sports. But with our hunting and tracking skills training, I felt a whole new level of confidence. I liked it.

November was giving its last attempt at an autumn day, and although it was brisk, the sun was high in the sky that Sunday afternoon. I was hiking alone, thinking about how nice it would be to go back to the waterfall on the outskirts of town before winter made the pass impossible. I knew the only way I could get there and back was to shift.

The full moon was still a week away, but I couldn’t resist. I knew Jack had warned me not to let anyone know I could shift outside the three days of the full moon. I was close to their property, and I hadn’t seen a patrol the entire way there. I figured it would be safe enough.

Stuffing my clothes into a hollow log, I shimmered into my wolf skin. I felt a huge relief wash over me. It had been weeks since the last full moon when I was allowed to shift in the middle of the day. I had missed my wolf! With a happy yip and a skip, I bounded off into the woods, trusting my nose to lead me to the waterfall. Without consciously thinking about it, I found my way through the foothills and around the winding path up the mountainside.
