There's something about the smell of the forest at midnight which can drive a wolf crazy. It stirs their souls, their hunting instincts, and has them lusting for blood. It is the same even for those who spend their days walking on two legs. The nights surrounding the full moon are the worst of them; forced to take their furred forms, werewolves spend the nights drunk on the moon's power.   But I was never one of them. An accident of birth, my class was both a blessing and a curse. It meant I wasn't forced to change as most of my packmates were. It also meant I wasn't hit by the moon's fever. There was no real reason for me to be in the forest with the rest of my pack, but I came nonetheless, because I found them beautiful."

Blood Moon 1- Suffering

We spent more than an hour at the little ice cream shop, and by the time we were done talking we'd been joined by Cean and Viktor. It was comfortable, all of us together, because they'd spent the last couple of days entertaining me while I was stuck in bed. Though, having a child of the stars on either side of me while surrounded by the new world my senses had opened up to me was a little overwhelming.


They were laughing about the ice cream Viktor had managed to get on his nose when my restlessness overwhelmed me again. As much as I had enjoyed learning about the Cereus pack, I needed to move. I needed to shift, but with the full moon still so far away, I could at least walk around.


"Whoa, where are you going?" Viktor's tone was light as he stood up, but I could sense the worry in his voice. His touch was light as he reached out to stop me; it was request more than demand, and that was the only reason I stopped.
