meet his mother’s eyes.
    “You went into her room and took this?” Trina was flabbergasted at her son’s actions. She snatched the stone from his hand and turned apologetically towards Amber, who quickly took the stone from Trina’s tentatively outstretched hand. “I am so sorry!” Trina told Amber with an apologetic half smile.
    When Amber accepted her apology with a nod, Trina turned back to Toby, sternly grabbed him by the chin, and forced him to look at her, demanding to know why he would steal from somebody when she gives him everything he wanted or needed.
    Once securing the stone, Amber took that as her cue to leave while Trina continued to scold Toby. Amber mumble, “Good luck to you and your son. Please stay safe.” Amber slipped out the door of the laundry room. Her body was still in turmoil, but had calmed down the moment the stone was back in her pocket.
    Lucky for her, the pack member had walked on past and was nowhere to be seen, but his scent lingered in the air. Amber cautiously slipped back into her room and grabbed the backpack she always kept ready. She would have to leave the room she had just paid for and find somewhere else to stay for the night. But she would rather be safe than sorry, and didn’t want to bring attention to Trina and Toby if someone did happen to find her.
    With that ordeal behind her, Amber never lost the stone again. It was her constant companion and she had not run into any of the pack members since.
    It had never crossed her mind before; the encounter with Trina made her realize that there were other women, female wolves out there, who were running just like she was. That thought was somewhat of a comfort to her and she didn’t quite feel so alone anymore .

CHAPTER SIX
     
     
     
    T he following night, when the moon was full, she anticipated the change, waiting anxiously for it. To her disappointment it didn’t happen, but the following month, with her wolf constantly pushing at her, Amber finally made her first agonizingly painful transformation to werewolf. Knowing the change was upon her, Amber had purposefully spent the night deep in the forest where she dealt with her first victim and an abundant amount of only animals to prey upon. Her wolf spent the week running wild through the forest.
    Once she was comfortable that her wolf was sated, Amber left California behind and began wandering through the states. The stone was now around her neck where it would remain. She didn’t want to risk losing it again; after all, it was the only thing she had left of her family.
    Amber thought of the night she met her grandfather. It had been brief, but left a lasting impression. Placing her in the back of that black car, he had sent her many miles away. Amber had not received any form of contact from him or her mother ever since and often wondered if they were still alive. The man in the car had dropped Amber off at what she thought of as an orphanage. The driver had passed on a warning to the overseers that she should stay hidden for a while.
    The place was actually a safe house for werewolves who had no place to go. A homeless shelter for young wolves with no family, no one to take care of them, or some like her, who’s family just didn’t want them around. Amber quickly found out she was the only older female who was not capable of turning yet. The other members didn’t consider her as a part of their mismatched pack and she never formed friendships with any of the girls. She was a pariah among outcasts. Constantly the butt of their jokes, the group of girls hassled Amber at every turn.
      Amber heard them openly gossiping about her inability to change. They considered her a freak and devised a plan to harass her every day. If they made her angry enough, it would force her to lose control and shift.
    The girls had been relentless and attacked Amber in both human and, during the phases of the full moon, in their werewolf forms. Knowing her inability to shift meant she
