OPOV
    I exploded as soon as we were in the trees. Even though I’d only been a wolf for about a year (we had a few travelers pass through and linger for a while) already I was able to control my anger ( better than Sam and him put together), phase only when I wanted to- which wasn’t very often-, and I wouldn’t be surprised if I’d only lost one year in the whole no aging thing.

    One of the only things I liked about being a wolf was that I was different from the others. Even Leah, the only girl wolf in existence, was more normal than I was.

    Most people wouldn’t find being an oddity a good thing. Embry thought, catching up with me. One thing I liked about Embry-even though sometimes I wanted to kill him for being with my sister- was that he was straight forward with me. There were no secrets between us.

    Well, I’m not most people. That brought back the conversation Mom and I had had earlier.

    You know, it hurts her to see how you’ve become after…Embry trailed off. I flinched at that thought. I didn’t want to hear that. That was the last thing I wanted to hear. No, the last thing you want to hear is that you’ll end up worse than your father did and that she and Ali will never forgive you.

    Stupid Embry, always having to be right.

    We entered a clearing where everyone else was already at. Leah looked at me and smirked-how a wolf can do that, I’ll never know.

    What’s up albino? she asked. I rolled my eyes. So what if I had a completely white coat? I, personally, loved it. So her insult was wasted. She glared at me before looking at Sam. I followed her gaze and my jaw dropped.

    Why was Sam human?

    He saw my look and smiled softly. “ I’ve decided to try and stop phasing, start aging again so that I won’t have to worry about Emily. Do you think you can connect me with the pack so that I can hear what you are all saying?” he asked me. I nodded. He smiled more broadly at me, and sat on the ground. “ So, let’s get started.”
