Chapter 11

Athena watched Derek leave the farm to fight a fire and wished she could go with him. She’d missed him. It had been the first time in a month they’d not slept together. However, her furry secret didn’t give her a choice. It used to be the arrival of the full moon filled her with joy. She would shift and run, chasing the night away.

But Dr. Rogers and Derek had changed all that. She feared either of them learning her secret. If Rogers exposed her, then life as she knew it would be over. With Derek, if he found out, would he accept her lycanthropy? Because if he didn’t, she might have to do the unthinkable. Well, she probably wouldn’t. Ares would handle it for her if she asked, but she really hoped it never came to that. Really hoped the bond they’d built could withstand the fact she was more than human.

She still remembered her dad having the talk with them at a young age about how it was imperative they never tell anyone. To which she’d replied, “Mom knows.”

“I had no choice but to tell her because, from birth, you shifted on the full moon. You should have heard her scream when she found a wolf pup in the crib. Luckily, your mom is awesome.”

“What if she’d not been?” she’d asked.

His lips had turned down. “We wouldn’t be the family we are today.”

Despite his love for Mom, he’d have done whatever it took to keep Athena safe. And she could do no less for her family. Please don’t let it come to that.

Those thoughts chased her that night as she ran with her sister, in a place a fair distance from home, where no one could see them. An abandoned property, the house long boarded and not visible from the road.

Her distraction had her stumbling into a stream and snorting out water. Missing the fat rabbit that hopped in her path. Lying down and sighing in the moonlight.

Her actions didn’t go unnoticed.

The next morning, once they’d flipped back into human skin, her sister called her out as they dressed in the clothes they’d left in the trunk of Selene’s car.

“What’s got you looking so mopey?” Selene asked as they drove back to town. “I thought you said everything was okay.”

“Better than okay. Great. I’m just tired.”

“Are you? Has something happened? Is this about the doctor?”

“I haven’t seen or heard anything since I left the city.”

“Then this must be about the guy who rescued you.”

“Hardly rescued.”

“Nice avoidance and clarification. You’re pining over the boyfriend.”

“I don’t pine.”

“It’s not a crime to admit you miss him.”

“How can I miss him when we’ve only been apart a day?”

“In that case, since it’s no big deal, spend the day at the farm. We can sneak you in. That tiny visit with Mom yesterday was barely enough to catch up. And you missed Ares entirely since he was at work until dinner.” They’d left late afternoon to ensure they didn’t have a tail for their nocturnal jaunt.
