Chapter Eighteen

That afternoon, Stella canceled our usual training exercises and told me to get some rest. She said I'd need it for tonight while tossing me a bag of chips. Resting was hard though because I was a jittery bundle of nerves, too anxious for sunset to arrive to relax. The Cancer pack had never let me join them for anything like this, and I wanted to do a good job, to prove myself to Kaden and the others.

When the time came, I dressed in sweats and a t-shirt—clothes I could shed easily for our shift—and then headed outside. Stella waited for me behind the house and looked almost as excited as I felt, and I grinned at her as I walked up.

"Where is everyone else?" I asked.

"They're with Kaden at the clearing. We'll join them in a minute." She gave me a warm smile. "I thought you might want to shift here instead."

A touch of heat hit my cheeks, but mostly I felt gratitude for her kindness. Even though I'd never said anything, Stella had recognized I was nervous about being naked around others. I quickly stripped down and let my wolf free, my white paws sinking into the grass and my tail whipping about. At last, my wolf seemed to say.

“This is going to be a relatively short hunt," Stella said. "Tonight Kaden and some of the others are teaching the teenagers what to do, and you’re going to observe. I’ll stick to your side in human form so I can explain how the pack hunting formations work, what they’re tracking, and how they communicate to bring down prey. It’s all about cooperation and communication, and it's important for you to see and smell the hunt with your wolf senses.”

It didn’t matter that I wouldn’t be joining the actual hunt, I was thrilled to even be included. Besides, I hadn’t really given much thought to what place would be the best to sink my teeth into on an animal to bring it down. Truthfully, I wasn't sure I was ready for that.

We headed into the forest to find the rest of the pack. I heard their movements up ahead, and my anticipation only grew. I was determined to prove myself to them, however, I could. Surely this hunt wouldn’t be much more difficult than learning to throw a punch or sniff out a correct object in the forest. If all these pups can do it, so can I, I thought. Of course, they'd had their wolves long before I did. I’d spent twenty-two years without my wolf, where they got theirs as toddlers. It would take time for me to start thinking like one.

As we approached the clearing, I peered through the branches, trying to catch a glimpse of the pack. I spotted about a dozen wolves, all in different shades of fur, and it wasn’t hard to pick Kaden out at the front. He was huge and solid black. I’d seen Dad's wolf form several times, and
