Russell Wallace had also felt the inexorable pull of the moon. To him it was a restlessness. A stirring. That got worse as the time got closer. It was the wolf awakening. It made him irritable as time wore on and wouldn't be eased until the change came fully upon him.
Headmaster Emrys had asked Russell to pay a visit to Hunter. Russell liked the boy. He was shy and studious, but had no ambition to do well for himself. He was utterly devoted to his twin sister. Though it was not entirely unusual for someone one who had been bitten to give up on having a future at all.
So it was that early in the afternoon, on the day of the full moon, Russell knocked upon Hunter's door. Even though the restlessness was growing as the full moon approached. He hoped that he could manage to answer some of the boy's questions without being too snappish.
