Honey & Rowan - Full Moon
They had been reading about werewolves, but the very next day they met their first one. Jacob Volkov.
They also met Lily Zhu and Kristopher Volkov, Jacob's father. They asked some questions about their pack and told them why they had come to Moonwood Mill. Kristopher was nice enough to invite them over for dinner that night to discuss more.
They read some more books while they waited.
That sounded like Melody, the part about the howling, but they weren't sure how Melody could have anything to do with werewolves. Hopefully they could find out more at dinner.
Kristopher even came over to collect them when it was time.
They ate stew and Honey and Rowan shared about Melody, the reason they had come.
Kristopher: You're sure no one in your family has lycanthropy?
Honey: Pretty sure. How does one become a werewolf anyway?
Kristopher explained about being bitten, but said it was unlikely for a child to be turned that way. Children usually only showed signs of lycanthropy when having inherited it.
He told them about their pack, The Moonwood Collective. He had been the leader, but in his old age he had settled down and gotten married, and passed the title of leader on to his son, Jacob.
Honey wasn't sure what to think of all this. There's no way Melody could be a werewolf. There had to be something else going on.
Jacob: My adopted sister, Rory, used to be the pack leader of the other pack in town, The Wildfangs.
Kristopher: Yes, until a newcomer showed up in town and defeated her. He took over the pack, and they have been making a bad name for werewolf kind ever since. He's not a kind man. His name is Severin Ashwood.
Rowan froze.
Honey: That name sounds familiar...
She turned to Rowan.
Honey: Your last name used to be Ashwood, didn't it?
Rowan: Yes. I changed my name when I became a teen and left home. Severin is my father...
He suddenly stood up from the table.
Rowan: It all makes sense now. Why my parents always left me alone on a full moon, and it explains what's wrong with Melody. This is all my fault.
Rowan: Melody is having problems because of me! I must have passed the gene down to her.
Rowan: I need to get out of here...
He turned and ran out the door.
Honey: Rowan! Wait!
Lily: He should be careful running out there on a full moon...
Honey took off running after him.
