I hadn't felt this weak since my first full moon transformation as a pup. Every muscle in my body felt heavy, my wolf curled up deep inside me.

A sharp knock jolted me awake. Before I could fully register consciousness, the door swung open with urgency.

James Knight stood in the doorway, his normally playful expression replaced with unusual seriousness. His hazel eyes were alert, his russet-brown wolf clearly visible beneath his skin.
