get some food. He
and his mother had agreed that she did not need to eat at the tables
with the pack. She was grateful they hadn’t asked or expected
her to. Grossly uncomfortable ,
she thought. She hoped he brought her some kind of protein; she still
felt weak from the loss of blood and needed to replenish.
    While she was alone, she looked around Alex’s
space. Organized like the rest of the camp, she wondered if all
werewolves were so anal about their living quarters. The tent was
large enough to stand in, walk around in, like the tents generals
used on the battlefield. Alex had the bed on which he’d placed
her, a table with two chairs, and shelves neatly organized: towels on
the top shelf, clothes neatly folded on the next, and books on the
bottom. Lanterns lit the space with a yellow glow. Overall, the space
was cozy.
    Alice pulled one of the pillows, on which she was
reclining, out from underneath her and smelled it. Oh
my god, it smells just like him , she thought,
and buried her nose in it. What is wrong with
me? she asked herself, sniffing the pillow.
She knew she shouldn’t like Alex, but he was such a sweet man.
And gorgeous!
    She jerked the pillow away from her face when the tent
flap was pulled aside. Alex walked in with a tray laden with food,
and Alice’s mouth began to water at the tempting smells
drifting to her nostrils. Her stomach gurgled loudly; she hadn’t
eaten since she’d left her camp that morning.
    “ Wow, you must be starving,” Alex commented
with a chuckle.
    Alice’s face grew hot with embarrassment, but she
laughed. “Good lord, that was loud! I haven’t eaten since
this morning.”
    “ I would have already succumbed to the weakness
and died in the forest if I hadn’t eaten in so long,”
Alex joked, making a plate for her. “You like steak?”
    “ Yes, please! And anything else you have over
there. I’m starving!” she exclaimed.
    “ Steak and mashed potatoes. I have some brownies
for dessert.”
    “ Yes!! Thank you so much!” Alice reached for
the plate and waited for him to get his and sit down. When he didn’t,
just watched her, she asked, “Aren’t you going to eat?”
    “ Yes, but you don’t have to wait for me. Go
on and eat,” he replied. “Are you comfortable enough to
eat there?”
    “ I am, thank you,” she responded, still not
eating. Her manners refused to allow her to eat while he made his
plate. So she hurried him along. “I’d like to eat
sometime this century, so make your plate, sit down, and eat with
me.”
    He laughed at her not-so-subtle nudge and quickly made
his plate. “Yes, ma’am!”
    She laughed too and waited for him to get seated before
cutting into her steak. She ate three large bites before looking up
again. He was watching her, smiling. “What?”
    “ You’re really pretty,” he told her.
She stared at him without replying. “I’m sorry, that’s
inappropriate. I won’t say it again.”
    Alice looked back at her plate, scooping up some
potatoes, putting them in her mouth, and savoring them. So
the attraction is mutual , she thought. But
we can’t act on it, so get it out of your mind!
    “ Thank you for the compliment. You’re damn
handsome, if I do say so,” she answered. “Tell me about
your life.”
    He smiled at her, chewing his steak thoroughly and
swallowing before answering. “What do you want to know?”
    “ I want to know if wolf life is like bear life.
Our camps are similar, from what I saw when we came in. We have a
leader with lieutenants, for lack of a better word. Everybody has
their place.”
    “ It’s pretty much the same here. I think
your clan and my pack are probably a lot alike. I have no idea why we
hate each other so much.”
    “ You know, I don’t either. I guess my mom
might know.” Alice paused to take a sip of the water he’d
handed her. She handed it back. “Thank you. Mom is our clan
leader.”
    “ A woman? Really?”
    “ Why are you surprised? Women are fantastic
leaders,” Alice
