Chapter 319
Chapter 0319
The run was just as expected, we ran on foot as humans for five miles and I discovered I wasn’t as
out of running shape as I thought. I was able to run with Tyler and keep up a decent conversation as
we went.
I found out that they do this jog a few times a week, but only shift and do an extra long run on
Thursdays. This way it just looks like they are big on working out and like to party like the athletes
on campus who are in season and have restrictions on crappy food and alcohol. Actually some of
these guys play football or hockey, which I found interesting since our strength, stamina and healing
is so much different than a human. Mina and I decided to ask about that when we got to the bonfire.
It’s really pretty here. The trees and the trails haven’t started to come alive yet, but the evergreens
dispersed within the bare tree trunks give enough color to the drab shades of brown and yellow of
last year’s vegetation to make the scene pleasant. I also love the smell of the damp leaves and
earth as we run.
There’s just something about the early sunset sending streams of light through the bare branches of
the trees that is calming. My wolf purrs in my chest as we go. The darkness that falls pretty quickly
doesn’t bother even our human eyes, we just keep moving like the light hasn’t changed at all.
In the forty minutes it took us to run the five miles the sun is almost completely set and the twilight
gives a consuming vibe. Tyler, Mike, Mina and I were running in the middle of the pack. Mina and I
slow as the boys do, at this point we have no idea what is going to happen and our latest fan club
member looks like someone who would stab you in the throat and then go play dress up. I’m
sticking close to the guys for now, I don’t need her trouble too.
“We’ll change and shift here, remember where the new cameras are and stay out of range.
Someone is looking for something and I don’t want to be on anyone’s radar cause someone here
decided to be a dumbass, got it?” She looks around at everyone, but lingers a little longer on Mina
and l. which this time makes sense if she’s worried about being seen. I’d look at the new people too,
but I would take it a step further and make the new people run with me so I could watch them and
guarantee they don’t mess up.
She clearly doesn’t care about us that much or assumes Tyler will take care of us, cause she turns
her back on us and starts to strip, which is the cue for everyone else to do the same. I can feel my
cheeks instantly flame and I try to look away, but no matter where I look there are butt naked people
everywhere.
“Don’t be shy new girls, we don’t have all night.” Some guy next to Janice sneers at us and then
licks his lips. I have to hold back the bile that wants to rise in my stomach. That guy gives me the
creeps.
“Hey, you okay? We do have to move. TheVlI leave without us. I can block you if that would make
you feel better.” Tyler’s concern is cute, but I can’t tell if he’s being genuine or not and that bugs me.
I usually have a good read on people and he just seems to be all gray area for me.
“Nope, we’re good, just waiting on everyone else to be ready to shift, that’s all.” I give him a small
smile.
“Do you plan on ripping through your clothes?”
“No!” Mina laughs and he just looks at us confused.
don’t have to change, you’ll see.” She winks at him and he still looks confused, but shrugs.
He and Mike strip down to nothing, stowing their clothes in the backpack Tyler brought. I am doing
everything possible to not look at either of them. Naked guys are not new to me, but I just can’t get
past it making me uncomfortable. I hope I’m not this weird about it when I do find my mate.
