Katey went inside the house and threw her school bag onto the couch as usual. She wasn’t really that hungry, but felt a little lightheaded regardless.

While she pulled out a frozen pizza from the freezer in the garage, Katey started to list the pros and cons of becoming a loup-garou in her head. By the yearning look in Logan’s eyes when they talked on the subject, she knew he would want an answer from her sooner than later.

She admitted that she would have loved to have the abilities that came with being a loup-garou, but Logan made a very valid point about the nearly immortal part. Her mind swam with the idea of seeing centuries pass by while she hardly grew old. Would the years make her wiser or cynical, she wondered.

Katey stuck the frozen pizza into the oven when it was done preheating and thought longer.

She pondered if she would be able to keep their secret, her secret. She felt very privileged to have the guys trust her so explicitly like they did. The thought tugged at the corner of her mind as to how many loups-garous she unwittingly knew, but didn’t even realize what they were.

She thought of all the men in her life that she had encountered, testing their looks and behavior against what she now knew about loups-garous. Katey reasoned that she would probably never know how many she had actually come into acquaintance with, but she had the feeling that many more would now that she was iassociated with Logan and the teachers.

She leaned against the counter and stared blankly out the kitchen window, letting the silence ring in her ears.

If she became a loup-garou, would that mean that she would be a part of Logan’s pack? Did that mean she would be a part of his family? Katey lingered on the idea of having a family like that. They would understand her, help her, and be there for her when she truly needed it. The thought brought feelings of warmth and envy to her heart and she caught herself smiling and wishing that it could be a reality.

A gentle knock at her door made her jump as she pulled the pizza out of the oven. Who could possibly be calling on her this late in the evening?

Katey rushed to the door, flicked on the porch light and opened it to see Logan standing there, looking rather sheepish. She couldn’t help but smile and be glad for the unexpected visit.

“I thought I told you I wouldn’t need a body guard tonight?” she said, leaning against the doorframe.

“But what if I need a body to guard?”

She giggled and moved aside to let him in. He stepped over the threshold and quietly shut the door behind him as she returned to the kitchen.

“Nobody’s changing tonight so you’re bored?” she asked for lack of anything else better or more clever to say. It didn’t occur to her until to late that her question might have seemed condescending.

“No, just bored in general.
