CHAPTER 79

Although I myself had turned into a wolf, I had never seen another wolf before, and had no idea how to react.

Oddly enough, I wasn’t afraid. I was intrigued, mesmerized. In fact, as I watched them, I almost felt a strange sort of kinship.

While watching, I reached over and placed a hand on Caleb, shaking him.

He suddenly sat up beside me, alert. The two of us stared together as the pack came in close, only feet away, sniffing and circling.

Suddenly, he turned and walked away.
