Chapter Twenty

Our date, as Ransom had called it after, ended up continuing late into the night. Coffee turned into dinner and dinner into drinks. As I stumbled out of Howl at the Moon, I immediately regretted denying Ransom’s offer to walk me back to the dorm. The crowded dive bar was in the center of Moon Valley, and only a few minute stroll from campus, but now it seemed like a lifetime away.

After a few too many beers, I’d told myself I needed the walk to clear my head. Note to self: werewolf beer was way stronger than the human kind. As I staggered across the quiet streets, a smile lit up my face. It was the first time in forever that I hadn’t thought about my Hunter. Not once. All night long. Maybe Cass had been right and my obsession with him was only due to a lack of options. Now, finally in Moon Valley, with my people, I’d finally find the right guy for me.

Ransom’s dark eyes filled my vision, that arrogant smirk on his lips. He was cute and fun, and the first guy to give me attention I was apparently starved for. Could I see myself as his mate? No. But there was nothing wrong with a little fun until he found his fated wolfy partner.

Truth was, I still hadn’t cashed in my V card. Crazy, at almost twenty, I knew. After that almost time with Hunter, I didn’t have it in me. Cass had even forced me on a few dates that year, but nothing had ever felt right. Not like it had with him.

I shoved back the depressing thoughts, vowing to keep my brain and heart free and clear of Dragon Boy tonight. Weaving through the streets, the flash of moonlight caught my eye overhead. A full silver moon gazed down at me, bathing my skin in pale bluish light. My wolf stirred inside, her big head nudging at my core.

“Come on out, girl,” I whispered. “Whenever you’re ready…” Despite Aristaeus’s warnings, with the moon out and my inhibitions dulled by copious amounts of alcohol, I longed to let her free. She scratched at my skin, lingering just below the surface.

I glanced down at my dress, and a pang of regret raced through. It was a new gift from Cass, and I didn’t want to destroy it if I actually managed to turn. Dipping behind a hedge off the main street, I tugged the little sundress over my head and hung it over a neighboring tree branch. In my matching bra and panties in the shadow of the thick bushes, I willed my wolf out.

Nothing.

I stood there, half-naked staring up at the moon like an idiot. Come on, oh great and powerful Luna, help me out here!

A sharp whine spun my attention back to the main avenue. I huddled behind the hedge and peered through the foliage. Narrowing my eyes, I focused on the russet wolf stalking toward me.

No effing way! My nostrils flared, catching onto the familiar scent.
