Gavin's POV

By the time we returned to the villa, the sun was already setting. We had been running and hunting in wolf form for the last several hours. Judy's scent had faded long ago, so I knew she had left already. Matt was trailing behind me as we broke through the clearing; being in wolf form, I was able to speak with him through the mindlink. It was a lot easier considering we share the same blood.

At first, he was rattled about his first shift; the pain of the shift disappeared pretty quickly once he reached his full wolf form.

I slowed my pace and shifted by the large oak tree where I keep extra clothes. I wasn't sure where Judy put the clothes I took off earlier, and I wasn't about to walk around looking for them.

He watched me curiously for a long while in wolf form as I shifted and quickly changed into the extra clothes. I then turned to him, expecting him to shift too, but when he didn't, I realized he didn't know how to. This kind of thing needed to be trained; it wasn't something that came naturally. Especially during a shift that wasn't expected, like this one.

I watched as the wolf's bones started to crack and break, the fur started to slide back into his body, leaving nothing but raw and exposed skin, still healing from the first shift. The first shift was never a pretty process; the shift back wasn't much easier. Our bodies are reformed and each of our bones are broken and put back together; fur rips through out skin and then
