I COWERED1 INTO JACOB'S SIDE, MY EYES SCANNING the forest for the other werewolves.

  When they appeared, striding out from between the trees, they weren't what I was expecting. I'd gottenthe image of the wolves stuck in my head. These were just four really big half-naked boys.

  Again, they reminded me of brothers, quadruplets. Something about the way they moved almost insynchronization to stand across the road from us, the way they all had the same long, round musclesunder the same red-brown skin, the same cropped black hair, and the way their expressions altered atexactly the same moment.

  They started out curious and cautious. When they saw me there, half-hidden beside Jacob, they allbecame furious in the same second.

  Sam was still the biggest, though Jacob was getting close to catching2 up with him. Sam didn't really countas a boy. His face was older—not in the sense of lines or signs of aging, but in the matunry, the patienceof his expression.

  "What have you done, Jacob?" he demanded.

  One of the others, one I didn't recognize—Jared or Paul—thrust past Sam and spoke3 before Jacobcould defend himself.

  "Why can't you just follow the rules, Jacob?" he yelled, throwing his arms in the air. "What the hell areyou thinking? Is she more important than everything—than the whole tribe? Than the people gettingkilled?""She can help," Jacob said quietly.

  "Help!" the angry boy shouted. His arms begin to quiver. "Oh, that's likely! I'm sure the leech4-lover isjust dying to help us out!""Don't talk about her like that!" Jacob shouted back, stung by the boy's criticism.

  A shudder5 rippled6 through the other boy, along his shoulders and down his spine7.

  "Paul! Relax!" Sam commanded.

  Paul shook his head back and forth8
