Chapter 20: The Checkup
Serena made it back to her clothes and shifted into her human form before anyone saw her. She was glad that Logan hadn‘t tried to pursue her. It was too complicated to face him alone when in her wolf form. She went straight home and straight to bed, thoroughly tired from her run, as wonderful as it had been!

There was a commotion in the street, a pack of teenage wolves in their wolf form running by. Olivia and Oliver heard the noise, running out to the porch with Serena. “Wow!“. Olivia said, pointing at the pack. “Are those wolves, mommy?” Oliver asked. Dana came rushing to the door.
