Enzo, Luke and I led Jason and his team over to the athletic fields to meet the new recruits.

“I used my power of Claiming to turn all of these people,” I said as we approached. “It was voluntary, of course. They can take the antidote when this is all over if they want to shift back.”

Jason nodded slowly as he took in the scene in front of him. It had appeared as though the recruits decided not to take a break after all, and were now playing an intense game of touch football. I couldn’t help but smile as I watched them zoom around the athletic field, using their newfound werewolf abilities to run faster, jump higher, and be more agile. They all seemed to be having a lot of fun.

“So,” Jason said, turning to look at me, “you have the power of Claiming, huh?”

I nodded, then glanced over at his team. They had all been human when I met them before, and I was sure that they were all human now unless they had found another way to be turned.

It wasn’t until the antidote started being passed around that their town managed to keep its head above water. And apparently, that was the case with a lot of towns on the island. But the good news was that the antidote was working, which was keeping the Crescents at bay. Only a few towns were left completely overtaken by the Crescents, and apparently the

People who had previously been holed up in hiding returned to Mountainview, and refugees filled up all of the local motels, bed and breakfasts, and camping areas. By the end of the week, it felt as though absolutely nothing was out of the ordinary. I hoped that it could stay that way; maybe the Crescents would see that we were stronger in Mountainview and they would be more hesitant to attack. Now,

the semester would be over, and students would no doubt be planning on going home to their families. That also meant that some of our recruits
