Chapter 0068
Even Rose and Kalen, Brady’s wolf, had a great time. The two of them became quickly and strangely obsessed with all the colorful roosters that were roaming wild on the island. To me, the roosters looked like chickens that had mated with peacocks, but Brady assured me that they were 100% roosters. Either
way, every time we saw them Rose and Kalen would beg us to shift so that they could go and play with.
these curious–looking creatures. We had to keep reminding them that the roosters did not want to play
with wolves or anything else that might want to eat them.
Luckily, given how many uninhabited areas there were in Kauai, we were able to let Rose and Kalen shift.
at other times, usually during our hikes. The two of them had taken an instant liking to one another, and it
was fun to watch them run around and play.
I was especially grateful that Rose finally had a friend; wolves are inherently social creatures, but Rose
was usually reluctant to shift in front of others unless absolutely necessary. Apparently, Brady and Kalen
were okay to shift in front of because -as it turns out- Kalen is a special wolf too. Kalen does not have
the special mark that Rose and I have, but he looks just like Rose except bigger and more masculine.
After I found out that Kalen was a special wolf like Rose, I was incredibly excited. Rose told me that Brady has many, but not all, of the special powers that we have. I immediately began peppering Brady with questions. Brady told me what he could, but most of my questions he either did not know the
answers to or he was not allowed to tell me.
What he did tell me was that our special wolves are individually selected by the Moon Goddess; they are not inherited traits. It is impossible to know how many special wolves like us are out there, but he thinks that there are fewer than five in the world. I am the only one that Brady has ever met.
Brady also said that we have the ability to mind–link other werewolves regardless of whether we are mates or in the same pack (which I did not know), and that we have special healing abilities (which I did know). A couple of other powers will come with time, when we are ready or need them.
Most shocking of all, Brady told me that Dr. Hyder has known about Rose for a very long time. He did not know exactly how Dr. Hyder knew, but Rose was one of several reasons that Dr. Hyder took a special Interest in me. It was also one of the reasons that he knew I would be safe in Brady’s pack.
Anyhow, getting back to Hawail.
Our meeting with James was, scheduled for the morning of Day 4. I had plans to spend the night before preparing myself mentally and creating a list of things that I wanted to talk to James about, but Brady
would not hear of me staying In.
Instead, he dragged me to a traditional Hawailan luau. At the luau, we ate dinner under tiki torches while

few other females onto the stage to give us an impromptu belly dancing lesson. To my surprise, it was a lot of fun and I picked up the moves very quickly.
It was not long before the professional dancers encouraged us to start dancing and moving with them through the crowd. When I got back to Brady, he pulled me close to him. He looked intently into my eyes and leaned in as though he was about to kiss me…
…until we heard a loud, angry growl from the back of the pavilion.
