into
poachers and a werewolf.”
    “ Oh my god,” she whispered. “Do you
think she’s ok?”
    “ She was alive when she left the clearing,”
he said, kneeling close to the ground. “Look here, her
footsteps disappear here, like she was carried.”
    “ I see it, I see it,” Susan said. “What
do we do?”
    Riley studied her curious face, lost in thought. What
do we do now? he wondered. Alice was
obviously in trouble, injured and who knew where, but he didn’t
want to put Susan in danger. He couldn’t make a decision. He
looked at Susan again.
    “ Riley, what are we going to do? We have to find
her,” Susan said, putting her hand on his arm. “She’s
hurt.”
    “ I know, but I don’t want to put you in
danger,” Riley replied. “But I guess we don’t have
a choice.”
    “ No, we don’t. She needs us. And I’ll
be careful and do whatever you tell me,” Susan promised.
    They transformed into werebears again and picked up the
trail of the werewolf that had taken their sister.
    *****
    “ Perfect.” Bud had been standing behind a
tree, just barely able to hear the werebears discussing their sister.
    “ What do you mean, perfect?” hissed Mike.
    “ They’ll lead us right to the camp. We don’t
even have to do any tracking,” Bud replied. “We can come
back in the morning and the wolf pack will be ours for the taking.
Maybe a werebear or two as well.”
    “ How are we going to follow them? They’re
faster than us and they might hear us.”
    “ They’re too worried about finding their
sister. They’ll never know we’re here.” Bud watched
them transform and run in the opposite direction. “Come on.”
    Bud ran after the two werebears, with Mike trailing
behind him.
    *****
    Riley and Susan arrived at the werewolf camp only
fifteen minutes later. They transformed back into their human forms
and circled the camp, looking for signs of their sister.
    “ I can’t see her,” Susan whispered.
From the vantage point they’d chosen, they could see the entire
camp. Alice was nowhere in sight.
    “ Me either,” Riley replied. His swift eyes
took in every detail of the camp. Susan could hear the anxiety and
anger tainting his voice. “She’s here, though. I can
smell her.”
    “ Me too. I hope she’s ok.” Susan
touched his hand so he’d look at her. “We have to get the
others. We can’t do anything tonight by ourselves.”
    “ I agree. Dammit, where is she?” Riley’s
fury exploded briefly, but his calm returned quickly. “Ok, we
know where she is. We’ll go home and bring back the clan to get
her.”
    “ You think she’s been kidnapped?”
    “ Must have been. She wouldn’t stay here
unless she had to.”
    “ You’re right,” Susan replied. “Let’s
go.”
    Riley looked at the camp again, hoping to see his
sister. He turned to Susan and nodded, they transformed, and ran
north.
    *****
    “ Did you hear that, Bud?” Mike had forgotten
his fears in his excitement. “Werebears and werewolves in the
same place! We’ll be millionaires!”
    “ Calm down.” Bud’s thoughts were
racing. How could he take down a werebear clan and a werewolf pack
without more help? “Let’s get back and make our plans.
Tomorrow, we come back and get us some pelts.”

could hear Alex’s breathing as it deepened into sleep breaths.
She smiled, comforted by the sound, although she knew she shouldn’t
be. She touched her lips that were swollen from his kiss and traced
the path his hand had followed along her waist and across her
stomach. I shouldn’t be feeling this ,
she admonished. He’s a wolf, I’m a
bear! Our parents will kill us!
    But
then she remembered she was an adult, more than capable of making her
own decisions. Many females left the clan for another once they chose
a husband, if he was from a different clan. Some males would switch
clans as well, joining his wife’s clan. Usually the couple
decided that based on which group they got along with better.
