face with a female werewolf. Amber’s skin was crawling; she had to force herself to calm down. The woman could not shift since the phase was not until the next night. Amber hadn’t shifted at this point, but knew it was close to her time. She didn’t know when it was going to happen, but she did not want to lose control and kill the woman and child.
    Clenching her fist at her side, Amber forced her rising anger down and her voice to remain quiet at the woman's demanding tone. “Your son has a stone that belongs to me and I want it back.”
    “What are you talking about? A stone?” she questioned, turning to her son with an exasperated sigh.
    “Yes, he took a stone from my room,” Amber replied gesturing towards the boy.
    The woman looked at Amber and rolled her eyes, leaned towards her son, and asked him gently. “Honey, do you have the woman’s rock?”
    The woman’s condescending tone made Amber want to shake her. Instead, she stayed rooted to the spot, watching in surprise as the boy shook his head no. The little brat actually lied! Amber had to take a deep breath to keep from slinging the woman out of the way and snatching the boy, wanting to shake him now instead of the mother.
    Amber’s skin was crawling more and more, her stomach began hurting like it was being twisted in knots. Her eyes became slightly out of focus, but quickly refocused, sharpening. Amber forced herself to suck in a deep breath and release it slowly. Her throat felt tight, her vocal cords taunt when she spoke. Even to her own ears her voice was scary as she continued in a deadly calm voice.
    “It is not a rock. It’s a special stone that my grandfather gave me; the one and only time I ever got to meet him. I would like to have it back.” For good measure she added huskily “Now, please.”
    The mother gasped slightly as she saw Amber’s eyes swirl with color.
    “You’re a wolf!” The woman exclaimed sniffing the air. “Why can’t I smell you?”
    Amber continued to fight for control. “Doesn’t matter, I just want my stone and I’ll leave you alone.”
    The woman could tell that that Amber was fighting an internal battle. She herself was struggling with her own raw emotions.
    “I don’t want to go back to the pack.”
    The woman’s voice went from demanding to pleading with her and Amber frowned, “What are you talking about? I just want my stone.” Amber could sense the woman’s extreme fear.
    “I saw them outside. You are here to help them take me and my son back!”
    Amber shook her head, still frowning. “I’m not here to help anyone take you back, anywhere. What’s your name?” She was actually becoming concerned for the woman. Amber knew exactly how it was to be on the run. She felt sorry for her, especially since she had a little boy she had to protect as well.
    “Why does that matter?” The woman frowned back at her.
    “It doesn’t really. I’m Amber. I don’t care where you’re from or why you are running. All I want is my stone and I’ll be outta here.”
    The woman thought for a moment, her tension easing slightly after realizing that Amber had not sounded an alarm to the werewolf she had avoided outside. If she had, he would have already come crashing through the door. The woman nodded slightly “I’m Trina, this is Toby, and we’re from the Malheur Pack in Oregon.”
    Amber nodded. “Trina, it appears that we’re both trying to avoid people we don’t want to run into. The man outside is from my mother’s pack down south. He’s not here for you and Toby. So you should be safe. Just stay out of his way. Now I really do need that stone, so I can be on my way. This is partially my fault, I left my door unlocked.”
    Trina nodded, turned to her son again, and forced Toby to open the hand he kept hidden behind his back. When she saw what Toby held in his hand, she groaned out loud. “How did you get this?” she demanded.
    “I found it beside the bed.” he mumbled defiantly, refusing to
