My Hockey Alpha

I searched high and low through the cabins in the hopes of finding some sort of lead on where Luke was, but unfortunately there was nothing. It seemed that the Fullmoons cleaned up every scrap, every little thing that would have indicated that they were even living here to begin with, and now they were gone.

I just hoped that Luke was okay. Hopefully, Myra or one of the others who didn’t agree with Lewis managed to set him free. I had to let that hope be the thing to keep me going for now, because I had a lot to do.

As I made my way back to the campus, I decided to head over to the infirmary to try one last time to finish the antidote.

And, unexpectedly, my friends were already there. When I arrived, Lori, Jessica, and Matt were all standing outside, waiting for me.

“We were just looking for you,” Lori said as I approached. “Where were you?”

“I just walked out to the cabins,” I replied as I unlocked the door. “It looks like the Fullmoons are already gone.”

My friends’ eyes all widened. “What?” Matt asked, his voice sounding disbelieving. “Seriously? They just up and left?”

I nodded as I walked into the infirmary and flicked on the lights. When I explained what Myra had told me the last time I talked to her, my friends were in an even greater state of disbelief. It really did seem as though Lewis fully planned on taking over as the Fullmoon Alpha, and there was no knowing exactly where they went.
