"Morning!" Kim greeted cheerfully as she walked into the kitchen area of the flat. Anya sat at the table with her back to Kim, a bowl of cereal in front of her. Going to the fridge Kim was confused why she hadn't received a reply from her flat mate, "Anya?" Kim tried again looking at Anya to find that she was sound asleep her head resting on her arm.
"ANYA!"

Kim's shout gave Anya such a fright that she fell from her seat and clumsily thumbed onto the floor, "Owe" she grumbled rubbing her thigh, "What was that for?" She groaned sitting up on the floor to look up at Kim who stood in a fit of laughter.
"Not funny" Anya moaned getting back to her feet and putting her bowl in the sink.

"Your right that is wasn't funny, it was hilarious! Looks like someone is tired after last night" Kim chuckled making some toast. Anya yawned and grabbed her backpack, "I'm knackered but still have to go to work, got some lying to do, see ya", she said leaving the flat and walking the frosty streets to Yogtowers.

"Seriously Sam, it was just a husky, I went to meet the RSPCA people outside, I never knew it got out" Anya explained standing behind Sam as he worked in the creators room.

"But how did it get there in the studio in the first place?" Sam questioned and luckily Anya had an answer ready, "I was keeping it in the Hat Films office, I found it when I went to get food for the streamers, so I brought it in, I couldn't just leave it there, then phoned the RCPCA. They were really busy so said to keep it until it for a couple hours. It must have gotten out when I went to meet the RSPCA officers. Sorry that I didn't tell you earlier" she apologised trying to sound as convincing as possible and luckily it seems that Sam believed her.

"Okay okay, but I could swear that it looked like a wolf" he said which Anya laughed at, "A wolf in Bristol, yea good one Sam".
Sam looked at Anya and he too laughed, "Guess your right, must have been the gin I was drinking".

Anya patted Sam's shoulder, and on the way back to her desk she finally took a breath, letting out a sigh of relief, thank the Stars that that was explained.

"How the hell? I call hacks!" Duncan shouted at Anya across the table as they played Uno during the their lunch break. Playing was Duncan, Anya and Martyn.

"Or maybe I'm just really good at this game, ever think of that Mr Jones?" Anya chuckled making Duncan scowl and groan in defeat again.
"Someone is a bad loser, but even I have no clue how you won three games in a row" Martyn laughed.

Duncan threw his cards down on the table , "I give up, how about some Heartstone? At least I know I'm better than you at that," he questioned with a smile pointing to a couple of spare computers.
"Considering I've never played Heartstone before, of course you'll win" Anya replied shaking her head.

Duncan shrugged then went to one of the computers, "Well let's get you signed up then! First of all an username?" he said with smile before typing on the keyboard then looking at Anya for approval, "AuroraLass, I like it!"
Duncan grinned clicking enter, "Get ready for a crash course in Heartstone"

-~-

"HOW!?" Duncan shouted as Ross, Smith and Trott entered the room.
"What's going on here? I can hear Duncan shouting and Martyn cheering and laughing from down the hall?" Ross chuckled walking up to Duncan's computer too see the 'Defeat' screen, while Anya's showed the 'Victory' screen.
"Hunter Wins!" Anya cheered, "Beasts, Beasts and more Beasts!"

"I'm impressed, but also highly embarrassed to be beaten by someone who only started playing an hour ago," Duncan groaned shaking his head.
Anya chuckled, "I had a good teacher and to be honest I think I was just lucky with the card draw, I wouldn't worry".

"Well anyway, ready for tonight?" Trott interrupted and Anya's looked at him in confusion, "Tonight?" She questioned, she was ready for an early night with a cup of tea and Netflix's after such a late night last night.

"Yea, it's the full moon. Sadly us three here have the stream tonight so won't be out until 1am, we pulled the short straw, but the rest of the pack will be there, even a member you haven't met yet" Ross explained.
"And as a bonus is Saturday tomorrow so you won't have to be here until 4pm so can sleep in" Smith added, which made Anya sigh in relief, "Will finally be able to catch up on my sleep!"

Hannah came into the room with her coat on, ready to go, "With that explained, Let's get going!"

Anya grabbed her coat in excitement then ran up to Smith, "So will I see you later?" She asked and Smith rolled his eyes, "Of course I will, I'll finish the stream as early as possible so I can join the fun" he chuckled hugging Anya, then he pulled away and reached into his pocket, "I have something for you" he said holding a woven band in his hand.
It was the identical bottle green colour as his but a few threads of blue had been added in a zig-zag pattern.

Holding out a shaky hand Anya allowed Smith to tie it to her right wrist, "See we are now matching" Smith said holding up his wrist.

Anya smiled as she examined her new identification, "I love it" she smiled, reaching to Smith for another hug but Hannah yanked her arm, "Come on! Kim and Kaeyi will be waiting! You can have hug time later"

"Okay okay I'm coming"

After rushing back to the flat and hiding her spare clothes in a stump near the flat, Anya shifted and along with Kim the two ran into the woods. The full moon began to rise in the navy sky.

"So what happens on the full moon Nanosounds?" Anya questioned during the run.
Kim looked over at Anya with a wolfy grin, "You'll have to wait and see"

Meeting up with Kaeyi and Hannah the females of the pack entered the meadow were the boys waited.
"Took you lot long enough" Simon chuckled his ginger fur contrasting the wolf he stood next to.

This was the new wolf Ross had told Anya about.
Studying the wolf Anya was blown away.
He was a large black wolf similar to Lewis but in the moonlight his fur glistened, making it look like it was deep purple in colour, which matched the purple band around his forepaw.

Stepping towards Anya the black wolf nodded to her, "Nice to meet you Aurora, it's nice to see a new face. I'm Rythian"
Anya returned the nod then shook off her shock, "Nice to meet you..." She mumbled as Lewis' howl echoed, signalling all the pack to gather at the centre of the meadow.
"Let the full moon hunt and games begin!"

Haha I'm evil making you wait for the next chapter 😜
But if I continued to write what I have planned then this chapter would be well over 2500 words and 'Ain't no body got time for that!'
So you will have to wait!
Muhahahahaha
