out of the golf cart we were riding in. I was certain I’d never remember how to get to any of these buildings. Most were hidden away among the lush vegetation, and even as we rode along the small road made for the cart, leafy branches hung over us. There were a few open areas where Brynna said we’d train. I didn’t have a clue what that would involve. We’d seen other people in the buildings she said were classrooms, but no one was in what she’d called the training areas.
    She stopped the golf cart in front of a large, one-story metal building with no windows.  Myles wheeled in beside us with Daryl and Jared in his cart.
    The three of them got out, and Myles motioned for us to follow them.
    “What is this place?” I asked him as he held the door open for us.
    “The lab.”
    I nodded. I’d heard them all talk about labs before. They had one at every school site, and there’d been one in Louisiana, though I’d never seen it. The need for the lab really showed the difference between the two werewolf packs and the biggest reason I couldn’t be with the guy I’d fallen in love with. Many, many years ago, the other pack, the Fenryrians, had developed a virus so that when they bit humans, the person bitten would become a werewolf…if he survived. The virus had become part of the genetic makeup of the Fenryrians so that all their offspring carried it, too. The Lycernians, like myself, did not carry the virus. The humans that the Fenryrians infected not only became werewolves but they could also bite others and continue the cycle. I still didn’t really understand it all, but I guess that’s what this school was supposed to do, teach me the history along with a lot of other stuff. I did know that the Lycernians didn’t believe in attacking humans and were constantly at work developing antivirals to give to people who had been bitten. The antiviral would kill the virus and allow the person to return to his normal state.
    When Myles let the door shut behind us, we were in a small foyer with a large door on the other side. He went to the door and pressed a button. A voice crackled over a speaker.
    Myles bent toward it and spoke. “I’m here with some new people to see the lab. One of them is your new lab partner.”
    There was a series of clicking noises, then Myles pulled the large door open. We entered a room with black-topped lab tables that resembled my biology class except the microscopes and other equipment I had no name for looked much more elaborate and expensive than anything my school system had been able to purchase.
    Myles waved to someone across the room, and I realized that at last I’d meet Lana, Myles’ girlfriend. The girl got up from a stool where she’d been bent over a microscope and started toward us. She went straight to Daryl and gave him a quick hug.
    “I’m so glad you’re here. We’ve got a lot of work going on. You’re going to be so much help. Daryl did all his education and training at the lab-based schools. He even studied overseas, where they’re doing some really cutting-edge research with the Fenryrian virus. We were excited when we met him at a conference and he wanted to come work with us for a while.”
    Daryl dipped his head and turned a little red at all the attention. “Thanks.”
    Lana’s blond hair was put up in the back with a clip, and she was wearing a standard white coat. When she moved next to Myles, she seemed dwarfed by his and Jared’s size. Admittedly, she was kind of dwarfed by my size, too. She was barely over five feet, and I couldn’t imagine any guy not staring, because she was beautiful. Not just pretty but truly beautiful, much like the girls I’d nearly killed myself to be friends with. Mean girls. But from everything I’d heard, Lana wasn’t mean.
    “Hey, you must be Alexis.” She stepped over and hugged me like we’d been friends forever. “I’ve heard so much about you from Myles. I’m glad you decided to come.”
    “And you’re
