QUOTE : So, when do we get started?” I paced around the room to stretch my legs after the long drive. “Soon as you’re ready, I guess.” Sam riffled through his bag, looking for something. “How many this weekend?” He didn’t look at me. In fact, he seemed to be making an effort not to look at me and had been making that effort since breakfast. My stomach wanted to do a flip, but I firmly smashed down my emotions. I needed to figure out what was going on before I reacted in any way. Emotions around werewolves gave you away. They could smell some and hear others. “I’m not sure. All of the Elders put a call out since it’s your last one. Ready?” He straightened, with pencil and paper in his hand, and still did not meet my gaze. He kept himself busy by tucking the pencil into the spiral of the notebook as he moved toward the door. “Yep.” I fell into step behind him. “So, what does that mean?” “That there are more ears than usual.” He opened the door for me. A werewolf fun fact to keep in mind at all times: They have excellent hearing.
