Chapter 11: The Moon Run

On the night of the November moon the whole pack ran.

Seventy wolves went up the valley in the dark, gray and tawny and black, with their breath smoking in the cold.

I had left my clothes in a bundle at the old cottonwood, and I ran with the pack for the first mile.

My paws were light on the crusted snow.

Every scent in the world came up at me at once: juniper, elk, and woodsmoke from the houses far below.

Under them I caught the one scent I would have known in a blizzard.

It was warm and spiced and mine, and it was running three bodies ahead of me.

He looked back.

His coat was the color of ash, with a darker saddle across the shoulders, and his eyes were gold in the moon.

He turned left at a stand of aspen, away from the pack, and I turned with him.

We ran up a side draw where the snow lay deep and unbroken.

He took the lead, and I took it back.

I bit his flank.

He spun and knocked me into a drift, and we rolled over and over with our teeth bared and our tails going.

My mother had said to wait until the moon.

The moon was over us now, enormous and white.

I stopped.

We stood nose to nose in the high meadow above the Puesto.

The pines were black around us, and the pack's howl rose faint from the valley.

He lowered his head and touched his nose to mine.

I shifted.

It came in a long, hot wave from the bones outward, my fur drawing in and my legs lengthening.

I knelt in the snow, naked and steaming.

He shifted beside me.

He was a man again on his knees, with his chest heaving and his hair wild, and his skin pouring steam into the cold.

For one moment we only looked at each other.

The cold struck my skin hard, and then I did not feel it at all.

"Lola."

"Come here."

He took me in his arms and kissed me.

His mouth was hot and wet, with the taste of the run still in it.

His hands went down my back and across my ass and pulled me against him.

I felt him hard against my belly.

"Your skin is on fire," he said.

"So is yours."

"I don't feel the snow," he said.

"Neither do I."

I put my hands on his chest and shoved, and he fell back onto the drift with a laugh.
