Azalea As soon as dusk began we headed down with everyone else. The nights were getting colder and I wished I had werewolf warmth but I had picked out a costume with long sleeves and had on pantyhose to help keep my legs warm. We cut loose and had a blast - we visited and joked with several other people whom I recognized from both my history class and my business class, taking a ton of pictures in crazy poses. My brother Taylor and Cassie's brothers had joined our little group at some point, teasing and tagging along. Today I was thankful for their distraction and even gave my brother a hug. We all sat together and ate dinner at some point and I laughed until my sides hurt at their antics. We played some of the games - my brother winning me a little blue stuffed wolf and then we decided to do the haunted trail. They did a really good job on the trail, having everything from zombies with chainsaws and killer clowns - think IT- to some crazy deformed creatures. We screamed and

Azalea As so it began. I would do an hour of endurance training, which was usually cardio both in the gym or in the forest, then a quick break to eat a snack before meeting up with Clarissa and Malorie for power training. Next I would dash off to history. Then I'd be in the library or outside reading if the weather was nice. I was reading about hybrid genetics and supe genetics in general seeing as how they didn't have any books on tribrids as I was the first known. Lunch with Cassie and her friends was next and then on to our business and math class before heading back to the gym for form work. Then a nice hot shower to help relax my muscles and dinner with the girls before homework and another snack. Even though I was eating what felt like double I still ended up slimming down. The baby fat I still had when I came her was gone, melting away to muscle. I was still thicker than the other wolves and my curves didn't change much but you could see the firmness in my body now.

Azalea I went up to my room and unpacked before grabbing a shower. When I was done we went down and had lunch with the girls. We spent the afternoon together like always and once we went back to our room we played video games and I let them know that the council had approved them knowing. Monday started the new training for me and I met Mr. Knight on the field in my sweats. The air was really chilly now and since I was not blessed enough to have werewolf body heat, I was cold. I knew it wouldn't last too long though once we got moving I'd warm up quick. "Since we are doing endurance still in the morning, I figured we'd go for that run you were doing in the woods. If you want to go shift and meet me right back here," he said. I smiled and jogged a little into the woods to the tree I always used and stuffed my clothes in the trunk before shifting. Thankfully in my wolf form the cold didn't even touch me. I walked over to the edge of the field were we had been before and saw

Azalea We woke early the next morning, well early for Cassie, and grabbed our bags. We had less than 2 weeks away from school and I was basically taking a real vacation for the first time ever. Cassie's pack was actually based in Colorado so we had to catch a plane there. We loaded into the SIV with her dad then stopped to get her brothers from the Alpha Academy. I popped out real quick to exchange gifts with my brother and promised not to open them until Christmas. I know he was bummed I wouldn't be going home with him but he understood. We hugged and then I was off to the airport with Cassie and her family. On the way there I asked about how long the flight was and how they dealt with the small seats on the plane. they boys laughed and explained that they had a private jet at the pack's disposal and that it had dropped their brother, the alpha off in New York last night for business and was ready at the airport for us. I was surprised and then the more I thought about

Azalea Cassie was actually ready at almost the same time so she linked arms with me and off we went. It was a nice day, still cold with snow covering the ground, but the sun was shining brightly. As we walked around town Cassie pointed to all the buildings and explained what they were. She also filled me in on all the gossip about each person we saw, which was quite hilarious. they all greeted her with a smile and a nod that was almost a bow, which made me tease her even more about being a princess. Most of the people walked around town not because they didn't have vehicles, but because it was more convenient. I did learn that there was a hospital here that was fully equipped and that animals and weres used the same hospital, just different entrances. it made since when she explained it as the pack doctors needed to be equipped to handle them in either form. Luckily with their fast healing it was more about preventative care, prenatal care and that type of thing. There was
