they treat me like their little sister too.”
    “Unbelievable. It must be hard to be around all
those males?” London replied. Even though, this was the strangest night of her
life, she felt connected in some way to what Zoey was telling her. Shifters
have been on this earth for a long time and nobody knew it. How nobody ever
guessed their secret was beyond her. Surely, with all the movies and books out
about shifters others had to know. It was too unreal to believe, so maybe that
made it easy for them to hide. She wanted Zoey to continue with her story
because she had loads of questions to ask.
    “You wouldn’t believe how hard it’s been with that
many brothers watching over me. That’s the reason I don’t know how to fight.
Nobody in Alpha City had the nerve to approach me or be mean to me. I’ve been
smothered all my life. When I was accepted to attend Milton College, I jumped
at the chance to leave, and experience life without an older controlling
brother looking over my shoulder. It was an opportunity I had to take.”
    London sat there with her mouth open. She’d had no
clue that werewolves really existed, but to also learn that there were bears,
tigers, jaguars, and panther shifters out in the world too was mindboggling.
How could this really be happening? How could they hide among the humans
without being caught? And they had a city. It was too much for her to grasp.
She needed more beer. Holding her hand up, London motioned for the waitress again.
    “Are you okay, London? You look as pale as a ghost.”
    “Umm…no…it’s just I never thought this was real
stuff. You’re telling me there is an actual city of shifters and you’re some
type of princess. It’s a lot to take in. Put yourself in my shoes. I mean this
is so crazy, Zoey.”
    “Yeah, I understand that. It’s the reason I have no
other friends. People shy away from me. I understand, London, if you want me to
change rooms because this is freaking you out. I just thought you should know
and I…” Zoey picked up her beer taking a deep drink. She grabbed her
pocketbook, took out a hundred dollar bill, and left it on the table. She
started to get up when London came out of the fog.
    “Where are you going? What do you mean change rooms?
I thought we were best friends, Zoey. I don’t care that you can, you know,
change, but give me a minute to process all this.” London knew she was a little
harsh on Zoey but this was a lot of information that until yesterday was only
in the movies; now she’d seen it with her own eyes. Everything had changed because
Zoey was a werewolf.
    “Lesson number, well, whatever lesson we are on,
stop running from everything that doesn’t go your way, Zoey. You’re my best
friend and that’s not going to change. I don’t know what type of people you had
around you in the past but I’m not them. I’m not leaving our friendship behind
just because…” London leaned closer to Zoey and whispered, “Just because you
can shift into a wolf. I’m your friend, you nerd, and I’m here to stay. If you
are a true friend then you don’t leave the first sign of trouble.”
    When Zoey smiled, London couldn’t stop the matching
smile that spread across her face. She had never met anyone like Zoey and she
was thankful for Penny Sanders, only when she threw Zoey’s stuff out of the
dorm room. This allowed the two girls to get to know each other
and become best friends.
    “London, thank you for understanding. I know how
crazy this is. I could have never got to senior year without you. You have been
my best friend and I can’t thank you enough for sticking by me.”
    “Oh Zoey, you really are too much. Thick as thieves
that is what we are. Nobody will get between our friendship. Nobody!” London
patted Zoey’s hand. She looked after her best friend and she knew that if this
were reversed, Zoey Malone would be here for her in a second.
    London sat there for a few minutes deep in thought
as Zoey drank her beer. She
