“Are you going to try to shift tomorrow?” he asked.
“Greta can’t keep anything to herself, can she?” I asked.
“I didn’t hear it from her. It’s a full moon. It makes sense. As long as the toxin is out of your system,” he said.
“I felt my wolf today.”
“That’s good, you should be ready. You’re going to love running in the woods. It’ll change everything once you connect with your wolf.”
Flutters of anticipation swirled in my gut. I was excited for the shift, and nervous about what would come next. “What about you? Is the toxin gone? Can you feel your wolf?”
“Not yet, but I’m hoping the full moon helps him fight back against the toxin.”
“They must have given you a lot,” I said.
“Maybe,” he said. “I wasn’t fully conscious for most of it. Or I blocked it out.”
“I get that,” I said.
We stood in awkward silence for a few moments. Things used to be easy between us. I hadn’t known him long, but we’d had something special. Now, it was long gone.
“Now what?” I finally caved, the silence was too much. “Is there anything else you want to say?”
“It can wait,” he said. “After you shift, we can talk. Then you can decide about your next steps.”
I didn’t want to press today. Exhaustion was kicking in and the sun was dipping low in the horizon. “Alright.”
He turned and walked away, leaving me standing outside his cabin feeling uncomfortable and anxious. There was a part of me that wanted to chase after him and beg him to let us go back to where things were before we went to Wolf Creek. I cursed myself under my breath and turned back to the cabin. There was no changing the past.
All I could do now was try to make the best of my future.
