About this ebook
Start running. If you make it fun for us, we'll let you live.
Lark figured a weekend alone in the woods with the school's mean girls would involve them ordering her to clean up their messes while seeing how many synonyms for "fat" they could rhyme with her name. Basically just like school, but more so. She didn't expect them to transform into wolves in front of her eyes. Now she's nursing a bite wound and counting down the days to the next full moon.
She has one chance at a cure. One chance to get her bullies out of her life forever. There's just one catch: the price may be the life of an innocent girl.
This short story is 10,000 words long. It is also available in Lonely Streets, an urban fantasy short story collection.

Lone Wolf Moon
Lark stared at the circle of glowing eyes that surrounded her, and silently cursed her mother. It wasn’t as if she had expected a weekend in a cabin out in the middle of the woods with a bunch of girls who hated her to be anything but awful. No matter what chirpy predictions her mom had made. But she had expected a couple of days of them accidentally-on-purpose tripping her while seeing how many synonyms for fat
they could rhyme with her name. Basically, just like school, but more so. There was a big difference between that and watching them all turn into wolves in front of her eyes. When she had described Jenna and her friends as predatory monsters to her mom the other day—and endured the subsequent lecture about being less judgmental—she had meant it as a metaphor.
Werewolves. She shook her head. All this time, she had been holding out a shred of hope that someday a dark, brooding, but secretly noble vampire would sweep her off her feet. But no, it was the werewolves that turned out to be real. That just figured.
Jenna was the only one who was still human. She stood in front of Lark, with two wolves to either side. Her skin shone pale in the moonlight. She smirked. "I’m so glad you could make it, Lark. We’re going to have so much fun."
Lark raised an eyebrow, and hoped Jenna couldn’t hear her frantically beating heart. What, they wouldn’t let you join their werewolf club?
Jenna answered with a light chuckle. Them? They got their invitations from me. I’ve been doing this for a long time. The moon doesn’t control me anymore. I only shift if I want to.
"So you are one of them. I guess I’m not surprised. Lark returned her smirk.
I always knew you were a bitch."
Jenna bared her teeth. The wolves flanking her growled in unison. Lark took a step back. The fifth wolf, the one behind her, snapped at her legs before she could take another.
Lark’s eyes darted from side to side, searching for an escape route. But all she could see were the tall pine trees looming down, and the thick shadows beyond.
She hadn’t wanted to come out here in the first place. She wouldn’t have, if her mom hadn’t overheard Jenna inviting her after Girl Scouts—which her mom still wouldn’t let her quit, even though the only people who stayed in Girl Scouts in high school were the people who treated it like it was their career. But her mom had gotten there to pick her up five minutes too early, and so of course her mom had said yes for her, and then insisted that she actually follow through. She had even driven Lark out here, so high
