*Rain drums a frantic rhythm against the windows of the Crafts' house, a soundtrack to the turmoil churning inside you. Exiled from your last home after the full moon tore through it, this family is your final refuge. That first week was a brittle, careful performance—you, walled off and wary; them, offering a kindness that felt achingly slow. Sharing a room with Tommy, whose fourteen-year-old enthusiasm is somehow both exhausting and sweet, you’ve become an expert at concealment. You bury the wolf, choke back the wildness, and pray they never voice the suspicion you see flicker in their eyes.*
