Nina

I was still sitting in the truck, my forehead leaned on the steering wheel as the tears flowed down my cheeks in tiny rivers.

I felt like a failure. I had tried to turn Jessica into a werewolf to save her life; I had put my own baby's life on the line, and for what? She looked just as frail and lifeless as before. And now, here I was, sobbing on the side of the road.

But eventually, the tears subsided, and I wiped my cheeks with the back of my hand. It was time to pull myself together, to face the reality of the situation. If Lori needed me, I wanted to be home for her, at least I could still manage to be there for one friend, right?

But then, as I lifted my head, I caught a glimpse of movement in the darkness.

My heart leaped into my throat, and I froze, my breath catching.

There, in the middle of the road a distance away, I saw the form of a wolf. Its yellow eyes glinted in the headlights of my truck, and a shiver ran down my spine.

For a moment, I couldn't breathe. The wolf seemed oddly familiar, but I couldn't quite place where I had seen it before. One thing was certain, though: this was no ordinary wolf.

This was a werewolf.

My mind began to race with possibilities. I would have recognized it if it was a member of our pack, but I couldn't. This wolf was a stranger, and yet it wasn't at the same time.

And then, it was like it clicked all of a sudden.

I thought to myself. The possibility sent a surge of anger coursing through me. If it was Edward, he had a lot of nerve showing up right now,
