Chapter 22

Trevor paced on the street outside the safe house, needing badly to shift and run, but he couldn’t here in the middle of a suburban street. He wouldn’t anyway. He needed dirt under his feet, the moon calling to him. He could feel her, the moon, growing fat and heavy, just waiting for the sun to finish its descent and then she would rise. She would show him the way.

So many thoughts filled his mind. When the dragen had finally come to he had explained that all of the Pravus smelled like Khain, and entering there would have done no good.

“To be a shiften alone in the Pravus means madness,” was all he would say by way of explanation. Trevor didn’t know how his messed-up ability was going to help them if no one could go over there, but he’d been too agitated to try to figure it out. He’d gone down in the tunnels to talk to some of his guys down there, tell them what he’d seen, and then he’d run the tunnels until sunset.

He didn’t know what to do. Trent and Troy wanted to attend the Zyanya, and maybe they needed to, like Trevor himself did. He couldn’t tell either of them no, not with the guilt he carried about them, but who would stay with Ella? Her safety was paramount.

Finally he decided. He made a few phone calls, then waited in the street, his face turned toward the east, feeling the call of the moon.

Wade pulled up in his black jeep and stopped in front of Trevor. “You’ve got some explaining to do.”

“Sorry boss, I can’t trust anyone else to do it. You don’t need the Zyanya like the rest of us do.”

Wade nodded thoughtfully. “But why are we still keeping her?”

“She’s special,” Trevor said simply.

Wade raised an eyebrow but didn’t say anything. Instead, he parked his jeep and got out. “You coming in?”

Trevor shook his head. If he saw her, he might not leave, he knew that.

“Ok, I’ll send your brothers out.”

Trevor waited until they came, his agitation eating him alive. He had to follow the moon. Trent nipped him on the thigh.

“Ouch, hey!”

She was waiting for you.

I’ll see her when we get back.

You should bring her.

Are you moonstruck? None of us will be able to shift.

A look passed between Trent and Troy. Trevor leaped forward and grabbed them by the collars, physically shaking them. “What? Tell me!”

Troy thinks she might be part wolfen.

Trevor held his breath and let go of his brothers, then stared into the sky. Did he dare hope it? A half-breed?

No. Maybe a quarter or less.

Trevor bit down hard on his tongue. A quarter wolfen. Not quite human, but never, ever would she shift. Even half-breeds only learned to shift something like a quarter of the time. But still…

He shifted back and forth on his feet, then took off down the sidewalk, walking hard, almost running. The sky was almost fully dark, and the moon would be up soon. But if Ella was even part shifter, did that change everything? Possibly.
