Holidays After Dark Omnibus – Astrid Vail (1)

She had T-Minus six hours to get everything in her small dorm packed and ready to go. Then she would be heading home for good. The wolf inside of her stirred and growled in her mind. “Good, I don’t like this planet. No good running spots.” Reggie rolled her eyes and muttered, “There are perfectly good running spots.

You’re just being picky.” “They aren’t home.” Reggie sighed. Now that was the understatement of the year. Or really, the last two years. She stepped over her half-packed travel bags and pulled back the curtain to the only window in her room. Reggie’s dorm was part of a bigger living complex set up to house the researchers, security, and everyone else living on this small planet she called home for the past couple of years. The lilac-colored sky was Chapter One Reggie darkening, silver stars starting to shine as they made their nightly assent.

The moon was absent tonight, and her wolf huffed in disgust. “Oh, come on, you can admit it is gorgeous here,” Reggie whispered as she took in the dark green rolling planes, with the spattering of shimmering gold and red flowers. “Not home. Not the bayou. Hate lifeless lands,” her wolf grumbled and flexed her large paws in her mind.

This time, Reggie scoffed. “Lifeless? This planet is teaming with life. Just last week you were chasing the sea birds down at the beach.” “Doesn’t count. We need to go home. It’s time.” “We still have six hours until our flight, and I need to pack.” “Leave it. It’s just stuff. Let’s go now.” Reggie snorted and shook her head. “No. We are not leaving everything behind. And we can’t leave any earlier. Why are you in such a rush?”

“Just want to go home. Miss the pack. Family. And…” Her wolf paused, and Reggie frowned. It wasn’t like her wolf to hold back on speaking her mind. “And what?” “I can feel it. The pull, the need. The ache in our bones. Our other half is calling.” Reggie dropped the shirt she had just picked up to put into her luggage. Her mouth went dry, mind spinning. “Are… are you saying what I think you are saying?”

Her wolf snorted and pawed at her mind.
