FROM THE BOOK
Who am I trying to kid?
I slow down as I near the end.
"HOWARD!!" Xavier yells,
pissed off.
I grab onto the chain-link fence and
bend over, panting and humiliated. "I can't."
Draik mutters really quietly, "He
can't do it," so I know I wasn't meant to hear it. And
the thing is, had it been a couple months ago, I wouldn't have been
able to. But I did hear it. And it makes me angry.
He. Can't. Do. It. All my life I've
been hearing that. My whole fucking life.
A heat launches into me. One I've not
felt since that night at Kruglov's, and never before then. I don't
have a name for it because it's foreign, but it feels like there is
literal fire in my chest as a voice inside my guts says, I can
and I will.
The dirty fence clatters behind me as I
push off from it, running with gaining speed. My hair starts to
tingle, wind whipping though it. The exposed parts of my skin feel
cold from the sudden sting of the chilled night air. My muscles come
alive, burning and expanding like they're growing with every hit to
the sidewalk even though my feet feel separate from me. I let go of
my mind and allow my body to show me what it can do. My arms pound
back and forth, maintaining my balance. I start to make a sound I've
never made.
I hear Xavier say, "That's it,"
from a faraway place. "He's feeling it."
I make it to the fence, whip around and
race back in the other direction, pushing myself to cut however
little time that took, in half. My chest feels like it's going to
explode in volcanic ash.
I'm pure energy. Possibility. I'm
ALIVE.
I run so fast that, unable to stop my
velocity, I hit the fence with a loud SLAM.
Falling in a heap on the ground, I
begin to laugh.
Draik and Xavier stroll up to loom over
me, and I'm still laughing. They've got grins on their faces bigger
than I've ever seen.
"You found it," Xavier says.
I pant, "What? What did I find?"
smiling wide.
Draik tips his head up. "Courage."

AN INTERESTING BIT ABOUT HOW THIS BOOK CAME ABOUT, by AUTHOR FALEENA HOPKINS
I've written seventeen novels, and six
of them are about werewolves. In my books it's real life. The world
does not know they exist. But they do. Never did I anticipate writing
about a wolf named Howard. But there he was, showing up in
Werewolves of Chicago: Curragh (also included in this one download
for a limited time, since you really should read it first). Howard
was then a scrawny wolf who just wanted to play with the big boys,
and who they called upon for help since he's a doctor. Then from out
of nowhere he did something so brave that he grew into the wolf he
was always meant to be - one like them. All muscle and power. I never
planned that. I don't plan plots and never know where a story is
going or how it will end, when I begin it. After releasing Curragh's
book, fans wanted to know more about this sweet, unassuming and
courageous wolf, as did I. Werewolves of Chicago: Howard was born.
