Chapter 9

I woke up with a huge smile on my face. I found Lilah in the kitchen staring at the calendar with a huge smile on her face as well. It was hard to believe that she had been crying her eyes out just last night.

“Can you feel it, Rachel?” she asked, excited.

“The full moon? Yes.” I smiled. It was coming tomorrow night, and I could just feel my inner wolf itching to break free.

Quan walked into the kitchen, his face also filled with joy. The whole atmosphere of the house had changed.

“Morning, Rachel, Lilah,” he said with a smile.

“Morning,” we replied in unison. Mac and Olivia both entered the small kitchen shortly after, also greeting us with a chorus of good mornings. Today was a weekend, so no one worked. College had already let out, and though Lilah told me that she usually lived with her mother during the summer, she was choosing to stay here until after Quan’s graduation.

By now we were all settled around the table having breakfast.

“How do you all celebrate the full moon around here?” I asked.

“How did you celebrate it as a wolf?” Lilah asked.

I began to explain how my pack and I would all go for runs through the forest, and we’d hunt too.

“Not so different from us, I suppose,” Quan said.

“But we also tell stories,” Lilah said.

“About what?” I asked.

“Wolf lore,” Lilah answered. “And of course moon lore as well.”

“Right,” Mac said. “Every full moon, all the werewolves in the area meet together at dawn, and we spend the whole day together as we all wait for the full moon.”

“It’s a great way for newcomers to get to know the local wolves,” Quan said.

“And we stay up all night hunting,” Lilah said. “Then we usually spend the day sleeping it off.”

After breakfast I decided that I’d go see Veronica. When I went back to my room to grab my keys, Lilah was sitting on her bed.

“Are you going out to see Veronica today?” she asked me.

“Well …” I let the word hang. I was cautious now that I knew why Lilah had been so against me hanging out with Veronica.

“Because I was thinking that maybe we could hang out today.” Lilah added.

“Um, sure,” I said, though I was pretty sure that she just wanted me to stay away from Veronica. Even though I knew that I wouldn’t give up seeing her, I thought I kind of owed Lilah a girl’s day out after last night.

“Veronica could come along too.”

My eyes bulged out. “Um, but you said you didn’t trust her.”

“I know, but I’d like to get to know her.”

“Okay, what are you up to?” I asked bluntly.

Lilah raised her eyebrows in a show of innocence. “What makes you think I’m up to anything?”

“Because you don’t trust Veronica, remember?”

Lilah smiled deviously. “You remember the illusion spell that Emma and I showed you yesterday? Well, in order to get into ISHA, you have to kill a supernatural creature.”

“And the illusion spell comes in how?”

“After they kill a supernatural being, part of its essence rubs off on them.
