relatively quiet. Kaden had trained his fair share of kids, before and after transition. Speaking to his child was proving more difficult. He pulled onto the shoulder of the road when the city faded and forest spread outward from both sides of the road.
    “Why hasn’t your mother taught you how to drive?” He asked.
    Jak shrugged. “She works a lot and we don’t have a car. They don’t teach it at school either. Lack of funding or something.”
    “I see.” He scratched at his chin. One night in the woods and another in Marala’s bed had left him a bit scraggly. Being covered from head to toe with fur as a wolf was fine, but he sure hated a beard. “It’s been hard for you two, right?”
    “Well, yeah. Mom works at least twelve hours every day, often times more. She tries to get me what I want and need, but doesn’t do much for herself.” He sighed and glanced toward the forest. “Sometimes she drinks and smokes. That’s her only indulgence.” Suddenly, Jak clammed up.
    Kaden waited for him to continue, but he didn’t. “Is it during the full moon? That she behaves strangely, I mean.”
    “Maybe, I think. I never paid that much attention. Listen, don’t tell her I told you this. I feel guilty for talking about her behind her back. I don’t even know you.”
    “No, you don’ t. That needs to change. See that road over to the right. Want to practice driving on it? It leads by where we’re going.” He pointed toward it.
    His son hesitated, but then nodded. “Sure. Can’t be much different than playing Grand Theft Auto, right?”
    “Only completely.” He laughed a little. “We’re not jacking vehicles or shooting bystanders.”
    “You play?”
    “Sure I have. Hanging out with the guys in the pack involves lots of video games. Other things, too. Pool, poker, battles. I have the scars to prove it about the fighting.” Kaden opened his door and jumped out. Heavy black boots hit the pavement as he walked around the Jeep to switch seats with his son.
    Jak didn’t bother getting out of the car, just climb across the interior and into the driver’s seat. “That sounds like fun. I still don’t believe all this wolf stuff.” He added, though not sounding as convinced as he had at the apartment building.
    “It’s a good time. Occasionally it can get you in trouble.” He frowned, thinking back to what Mara had said she’d found him doing. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t remember cheating on her. He believed he’d done it. The boys had gone into town and picked up a few girls they’d met at the bowling alley.
    “Hey. Earth to Kaden. Hello?” Jak said loudly.
    “Sorry, son. There’s a lot on my mind. Start the ignition and put the vehicle into drive. It’s not a straight shift, so this will be easy.”
    Jak did as he was told. He pressed the gas carefully, looking to his left before pulling onto the highway. “Are you thinking about Mom?” When he reached the dirt road Kaden had pointed out he turned right carefully. His foot was a little heavy on the break, but otherwise, his driving was fine.
    Kaden gave a small grumble in response, not wanting to discuss the matter.
    “She doesn’t really date or anything. I thought it was because she was like me and didn’t really care to, but I think she’s been hung up on you all this time. You must have really pissed her off. She’s usually a pretty forgiving person.”
    “Some males of our species are disinterested in the opposite sex before their transition. Sometimes it takes finding their mate to set off the spark.” He shrugged. “I wasn’t one of them. Then again, your mother was around my entire youth.”
    They drove further. “You should have come for us sooner.” Jak said softly.
    “Yes. I should have, but my pride wouldn’t let me.” Kaden rubbed his eyes with thumb on one and index finger on the other and gave a light squeeze. “Park here.”
    Once again, Jak hit the brake too hard and their bodies jolted forward at
