me.
                  I pulled into the driveway and killed the engine, cutting a good song off. My mind was on other things, though. I shoved my keys inside my bag as I walked the short way to the front door. Something was bugging me about the boys of Grover High, but I wasn’t sure what it was. The smell on Rueben’s breath … My hand paused on the door knob. I really needed to hunt, maybe that would clear my head.
                  “I’m home,” I called loudly after I deposited my bag on the floor by the hat rack.
                  “Thanks for the news flash,” Ivy called back with her usual cheerfulness.
                  I was shocked that Ivy had made it home before me. It must not have been a very entertaining ride for her. “Where’s Bella? I need to hunt,” I announced without preamble. I was further shocked when I discovered Ivy was not alone. Sitting in one of the oversized brown chairs in our living room was the green-eyed girl from school. Carlie.
                  She stared at me with a mixture of amusement and disgust. I stared back at her, but I think mine was more just shock.
                  “I don’t know where Bella is,” Ivy informed me, “and what do you mean hunt? Are you Jed Clampet now?” Carlie snickered.
                  “She’s not here?”
                  “Nope.” She turned away, dismissing me.
                  “That’s your sister?” I heard Carlie ask as I stalked to the kitchen.
                  I flung open the fridge feeling ravenous, but I knew that human food wouldn’t do me much good. A sick sheen of sweat formed on my top lip and I felt a shaking starting in my knees. I brought a fist up to cover my mouth. “Control Willow,” I whispered.
                  “What’s with you?” Ivy and Carlie had followed me out to the kitchen. My eyes darted to the nearest door. I was in no condition to be around a human, even a snobby one.
                  “Nothing,” I fired back.
                  Ivy’s eyes widened slightly but she made no move to leave. “You know Carlie?”
                  “I … uh … ” I ran a hand across my moist forehead and pushed my hair back haphazardly. “Yeah.”
                  “You know my boyfriend too, don’t you?” Carlie asked hotly, one hand coming up to rest on her slender hip.
                  “Um … ” Why couldn’t I focus? Oh yeah, because I’d been thinking of hunting for too long and I should have hunted this morning.
                  “Rueben Massie.” She crossed her arms and pursed her pale pink lips.
                  “Mmm.” In my current delirium I could only register that no one’s lips were really that shade of pink. Who was she trying to fool anyway?
                  “He’s taken and you need to stop following him around.” Her words sounded far away but I understood what she was saying.
                  “He’s the one that’s following me,” I shot back. I hated that my words came out slurred and I lurched forward. At least the girl had enough wits about her to take a few steps back.
                  “Maybe you need some air,” Ivy suggested.
                  I tried breathing deeply through my nose but it was no use. Without a word, I rushed out the back door. It was lucky for me that Bella felt the need to live close to the woods in this town because I was morphed before the back door could slam behind me.
                  One second I was hyperventilating on two legs and the next I was on four legs and running so fast that the wind couldn’t even catch me. It was exhilarating being a wolf. When I was in my wolf form I could understand why Ivy loved it so much. A surge of joy welled up in my chest, pushing me faster and faster
