off guard. “Special? Like winning an award or something?”
    “No, Kenly. Like hearing things from far away or sensing something strange or odd?” The seriousness of her tone confuses me. “I can feel the wheels turning in your head. Please answer the question.”
    I breathe out deep. Have I ever sensed something? Well, there was tonight when my gut told me to stay home and all of this shit happened. Or when I made a detour once and later found out there was a five-car pileup on the road I should’ve been driving on. Or the time I felt the need to take the stairs at work only to later find out the elevator had broken down, caging the people inside with no air conditioning for hours on that blistering summer day. But all of that I’ve chalked up to a gut feeling and nothing more.
    “You have haven’t you?” Lily asks, again as patient as ever.
    “Just small things, like going to the grocery store on a Friday after work and then finding out that a man robbed the place and killed the clerk and some customers the same time on Saturday I normally go. But they’re just gut feelings. Everyone has those.” I shrug because it’s just coincidence.
    “Does this happen a lot?”
    I think back. “Not a lot, but they’ve come when I need them, I guess.”
    She nods her head. “What about hearing or sight?”
    That one’s easy. “Hearing is definitely great. I can hear the neighbors in my apartment having sex often, fighting, and their conversations but I try to block them out.” Last night. “I could hear the wolves’ paws tapping on the pavement as they chased me.”
    “Tell me about the attack.”
    A shiver rattles my bones at the thought. I really don’t want to talk about it, but I will. “My gut told me to go home and I didn’t listen. I went out to Buddies for a couple of drinks. I was tired and wanted to go home, but agreed. My car was down the block at my office building so I walked back toward it when I left. I had a weird feeling I was being watched, so I walked faster, looking all around, but didn’t hear or see anything. When I got to the parking garage, I heard footsteps. When I turned, I saw four huge men coming at me. I took off running.” I shake my head and tell her of the moments when I was getting bitten. Each word I speak comes out in a quiver. “I hit my head, hard, and saw a blur. The next thing I remember is waking up here.”
    “You do have very good instincts. You need to listen to them, always.” Her words come out in a warning, compelling me to heed them. “Do you feel calm around me?”
    “Yes, very much so. Why is that? Are you doing it?”
    She smiles. “You are very observant, too. Yes, I’m controlling your emotions. I don’t want you to get upset, which I know you will do when I explain everything. My beta knows this too. That is why I am here and not him.”
    “You’re doing what?” I screech, totally focusing on the controlling emotions thing. I knew she was doing something. At least I’m not as crazy as I thought. People can do that to one another? That’s like something on one of those SciFi shows on TV.
    “Controlling your emotions. Please listen,” she commands and so I do. “When our beta and enforcers brought you here, the minute I came into contact with you, I felt an electric charge. This means I’m pretty sure that all the bites you sustained are going to turn you into a wolf.”
    Turn me into a wolf? Yeah, right. I’d laugh sarcastically, but Lily’s pull on me is too great. I have entered some type of alternate universe. This shit just doesn’t happen. “I just need to go to the hospital and get some shots then I’ll be fine.” This lady is nutso nice, but nuts all the same. Aren’t wolves born this way? Can they really change a perfectly normal human?
    “Kenly, anything that you get from a hospital will not be strong enough. Our alpha has ordered a pack doctor to come and he should be here within the hour. He will check you out, but I have
