neck he’d kill her. Her pulse pounded, and she
tried to calm down. If he was to take a chunk out of her neck he’d
take a major artery, and being a half breed she wouldn’t be able to
survive such an attack. She hoped he would take into account her
more human side. “You want my dick, don’t you?”
    Licking her lips, she stared past his
shoulder wishing there was something else she could be
doing.
    “ You’re not going to answer. I
can live with that. I’ll have you begging soon enough.” Together
they walked out into the night. The warm air washed over her, and
she gasped. The scent of the night air called to her wolf, begging
to be released. This was the first time she’d kept her change
within her. The moment the full moon was high in the night sky she
liked to change. The next three days were important to her as it
kept the sickness at bay. When she hadn’t turned one month because
she could no longer stand the treatment of the pack, she’d been ill
for the entire month. Work had been horrid as she couldn’t stand
the noises and scents. The only way she could keep focus was if she
turned every full moon.
    “ Your pack were assholes,” Zeke said,
taking her away from the open land toward the tree line. She heard
the sound of the flowing water of the river and waterfall she knew
was there. The first time she’d found it, Mary hadn’t left the
waterfall for the entire weekend of the full moon.
    “ What are you talking about?” she
asked, trying to keep up with his pace. He was well over six feet, and she
was struggling to keep up with his long strides at her own five
foot six.
    “ There are ways and means to keep
the wolf at bay. There are half breeds out there who cannot turn
every full moon. They have ways and means to handle themselves.
Running, working out, even taking a cold water bath can help with
the cravings.”
    Mary hadn’t heard of other ways. Looking
back none of the pack wanted to talk to her. Roger and Dani had
been nice, but once she controlled the turning and knew what she
was doing neither of her leaders offered any advice. In fact,
besides Jessica, no one spoke to her at all. It was like she didn’t
exist to anyone. They kept the small room at their house for her to
stay in, but she felt more like a pet than a member of the
pack.
    Shaking her head, she kept up with
Zeke’s paces.
    “ I don’t know what you’re
talking about,” she said.
    “ No, you
wouldn’t.”
    She recognized where he was going as they
walked up the incline of the forest. He was taking her to the top
of the waterfall. Mary concentrated on climbing. Before long she
felt out of breath. Zeke kept hold of her arm leading her up to the
top.
    “ I don’t trust your
wolf , and
it’s time for you to know how to control your wolf. Some of the
half breeds can’t even wait to the full moon before
turning.”
    When they got to the top she looked
down at the water below. “Why are we here?” she asked.
    “ It’s time for you to know how to
handle yourself.”
    Before she could ask what he meant, he
pushed her over the edge. Screaming, Mary panicked seconds before
she plunged into the water below.
    ****
    Jumping over the edge, Zeke followed her
down. He’d met a half breed in the city, and they’d become close.
During their time together, Zeke asked the man how he’d stopped
himself from the turning. The man had been bitten by a female wolf.
She’d helped him through the change, but she’d been turned out by
her pack for turning a mate.
    Zeke didn’t have a problem with
half breeds ,
and he was friends with the young couple. They were not part of his
pack as neither of them wanted to be part of a pack.
    The water surrounded
him , and he
pushed up to the surface, gasping for air. The rush was amazing,
and he knew he’d be coming a lot more to jump over the edge. Mary
screamed out, pushing the hair out of her eyes. Laughing, Zeke
dipped down. The water wasn’t cold as it was turning out to be one
of the
