The cold night of my first shift fades away and a new memory surges forth. Another one that has laid dormant for too many years. I am standing in my bedroom my Uncle Chase’s pack, Silver Wolf. I am pacing the floor nervously when the sound of a car stereo fills the air around me.
The thumping sound of a car stereo fills the packhouse and the loud honking of the horn causes me to jump where I have been pacing back and forth. Damn it, she is early.

Maybe one day I can come back and get the rest.
Throwing my bag over my shoulder, I yell out, “Uncle Chase, I am heading out with Jess for the night.”
Just as I hit the bottom of the stairs, Uncle Chase steps out in front of me. “Where are you going?”
