looking up at his
father. He realized how angry his father was. “Why are you mad?
We’re just talking.”
    “ And touching and sitting so close there isn’t
any room between you!” John fumed. “The entire pack can
see you acting like some lovesick puppy rather than the werewolf you
are!”
    “ No one was paying any attention to Alice and me
until you started screaming like a fool!” Alex yelled back.
    “ She’s a werebear!” John reminded him,
pointing accusingly at Alice as if she were standing trial for
murder. “Those disgusting creatures are our enemies!”
    Alex and his father had both risen, drawing the
attention of every pack member, even the ones who hadn’t been
at breakfast. At the insult, Alice also rose, holding her hands up as
if deflecting a rock thrown at her.
    “ Hey, listen. I’ll get out of here,”
she told John. “You don’t have to be an ass about all
this.”
    “ Shut up, were-whore!” John yelled. “You
seduced my son last night, didn’t you?”
    Alice’s eyes had widened at the insult, but she
hadn’t even formulated a reply before Alex’s menacingly
low voice responded.
    “ Do not call her that.” John stared at his
son, whose eyes were unrecognizable. Shara attempted to step between
them, but Alex held his arm out to prevent her. “I’m in
love with her, Father.”
    Everyone gasped, but none louder than Alice. She had no
time to react; John had transformed into a wolf and stood growling at
her. Alex transformed as well and moved between his father and Alice.
    Shara yelled at the two of them, “Stop it! Now! We
need to settle this without ripping each other apart!”
    The men took no heed. Alex leapt high and tackled his
father to the ground. Horrible sounds accompanied the fight. Alice
screamed at them to stop, as did Shara, but the two were beyond
words. Alex would not let anyone, even his father, speak to Alice
that way, and John would not allow his only son to get mixed up with
a werebear.
    So the fight escalated.
    *****
    Cammie, Riley, and Susan stood on the outskirts of the
werewolf camp, listening to the sounds of a dog fight. They’d
her Alice’s voice but hadn’t been able to understand her
words.
    “ Is that how they settle things? With a fight?”
Susan grumbled. “How barbaric.”
    Cammie smiled at her snobbery, but it fell quickly when
Riley said, “I think we need to intervene. I would bet my left
leg they’re fighting about what to do with Alice.”
    He looked at his mother, who nodded deferring to his
judgment. She’d slowly been handing her duties over to him.
Just this morning, she’d told him he’d take lead in this
battle, should there be one.
    “ Just remember the plan, everyone,” Cammie
said. “Riley and I will walk into camp as humans to discuss
first. All of you will remain in bear form as back up.”
    Everyone nodded their understanding and shifted, Susan
included. Cammie had asked her to stay at home, but she’d
refused. She’s so brave ,
thought Cammie. She
looked at Riley and nodded, and they moved in the direction of the
camp.
    *****
    A guard werewolf howled when he saw them coming, a
warning signal to the camp that strangers were in their territory.
Shara heard the warning and hissed loudly at her son and husband, who
paid her no heed. She grabbed a pail of rain water and hurled it at
them. They ceased their fight, breathing hard, both glaring at the
woman. She didn’t flinch.
    “ Someone is coming into camp. Jack howled the
signal.” Shara turned to Alice. “The poachers may have
tracked you and Alex here. We have to hide you. There could be a
fight and you’re already injured.”
    Alice looked at Alex for confirmation, and he nodded at
her. His eyes pleaded with her to go. She nodded at him and touched
his head, rubbing his fur. Shara pulled her away and hid her in the
closest tent, out of sight, then turned back to follow her husband
and son, the leader and future leader of their pack.
    As they approached the clearing,
