[Bonus chapter]Running With Wolves
"Hey, ready to go?" Cameron said looking rather excited. "I haven't been out in weeks, I feel all this energy." Malachi looked at him.
"Yeah you look like it." Cameron just smiled.
"You're lucky, you get to go out whenever you want. Now that I live closer to the city with Sally and go in nearly every day, it sucks. Don't get the chance." Malachi moved with him and the others toward the back of the house and pulled at their clothes. Wasn't like they could really wear them while a wolf.
"There's so few of us now." Malachi said looking. "I remember my dad saying that there used to be nearly a hundred when he was young." Cameron looked at the group of maybe thirty.
"Most look at it as a shameful thing, like they are some kind of beast. Probably because they marry those that don't want anything to do with it. Sally is okay with it and I'm glad. I'd have shown our kids anyways if she wasn't."
"Lucky you." Malachi said. "Though I would as well. It's more than freeing."
