Thank you to everyone who have sent reviews. Also, thanks to Roswellachick for faithfully sending me such detailed reviews. I look forward to them all.

I'm new to fan fiction, having just discovered it two months ago. I had no idea all this existed and I've been very excited about it ever since. Wolf Lake was the reason I found it. I absolutely loved the show and was saddened when it ended. I had already made up continuations of the series in my head, knowing what I would have liked to see happen. So fooling around on the computer a few months ago, I typed Wolf Lake into my search engine and was surprised to see all this. It kept me up many nights, reading the fictions already there. I was thrilled that all these wonderful stories existed and it sparked me to finally put mine down. So here I am, better late then never. I hope Wolf Lake lives on in many hearts for many years to come!

Chapter 13: Full Moon

The barbeque was winding down to its end and many humans and adults were leaving. Having arrived late, Lucas had missed most of it and now sat on the pier with his friends. The other skinwalkers stayed as well enjoying this time together as a pack. Sophia had swum out to the raft when she noticed Lucas arriving andwas nowlaying in the middle, sunning herself. Jennifer, her old human friend was keeping her company.

Sophia couldn't help glancing over at Lucas. He was so good looking and she couldn't seem to stop looking at his bare chest.

She looked straight up and could see the full moon waiting for its turn to dominate the sky. The sun was well past it's zenith and shadows were hinting at it's farewell.

She began to think about the full moon and how the last time she saw one was in Italy. She remembered how strongly her wolf called out to her that night. It was a great torment for her not to be able to flip and run. She had promised her aunt and uncle that she would not. So she stayed in her room, clawing at the sheets and biting on her pillow. It made her wonder how her dad had done it all those years, suppressing his wolf. How did he ever get through the full moons?

She could feel how charged the atmosphere was around her. Even in daylight the full moon had already sharpened her senses. She looked over at Jennifer who was speaking a mile a minute without a pause. At least it seemed that way to Sophia as she felt the beginning of a haze forming throughout her mind.

Sophia swallowed hard and clamped her mouth shut as she felt her teeth elongate slightly. Her heightened senses smelled Jennifer's human scent and Sophia could see the vein pulsing in Jennifer's neck. Jennifer babbled on, unaware of the changes in Sophia's demeanor. Sophia's nails began to lengthen and she curled them under her palms, out of Jennifer's sight.

Sophia began to feel distressed as she realized how out of control she was becoming. She wanted to tell Jennifer to leave quickly, to go back to the shore. Suddenly a shadow fell over them and they both looked to see what was blocking the sun.

Lucas Cates stood there on the raft, dripping from the swim over. He looked at Jennifer and said, "The picnic is over, I think you need to go home." Jennifer would have normally protested someone telling her what to do, but something about Lucas Cates filled her with fear.

"Come on Sophia, let's go." Jennifer said warily.

"Sophia stays," Lucas said, now looking directly at Sophia. Jennifer looked from one to the other and then slipped back into the water and swam to shore.

When Jennifer was out of earshot, Lucas lifted an eyebrow and stated, "It's forbidden to eat humans these days, without the approval of the pack."

Sophia sat up and glared at him, "I wasn't going to eat her!"

"No? But you wanted to. Your feeling the moon's pull right now and it's going to get worse as night falls."

Sophia pulled her knees to her chest and wrapped her arms around her legs, hiding her face. "What do I do?" she mumbled in her misery.

"On full moons we go deep into the forest, away from the town. We can control ourselves with effort, but it's best not to be too close to humans those nights... just in case." He watched her for a few moments. "It's not so bad Sophia. We have a lot of fun out there and get to run off a lot of energy, you'll see."

He crouched down in front of her. "Sophia, look at me." He could not stand her rejection of him last night. He had intended to be cool about it and give her the space she asked for, but now in her presence he found that he desperately wanted things to be right again.

Sophia raised her sad brown eyes and looked at him, waiting for his next words.

"Tell me what's really going on? What did I do to upset you?" Lucas asked softly. He felt his heart start pounding in his chest as he waited for her to answer.

"Does it really matter to you that much?" she asked in return.

"Yes! It matters a lot," Lucas said without hesitation. He watched as Sophia's gaze shifted towards the pier, looking at Presley. He followed her gaze and realized that this had something to do with that vicious blonde. "Sophia... I told you already that I'd rather be with you than Presley." Lucas took a deep breath and gazed at Sophia, willing her to look back into his eyes. "There is only one female that has my heart, Sophia, and it is not Presley."

Sophia gasped in surprise. What was he saying? But then she remembered what she knew and grew angry. "Well, she still has your body though!" she growled out.

Lucas stood up in surprise, "What? What are you talking about?"

"I know how she spent the night at your house with you Thursday and she probably was there last night too," Sophia began, now on her angry roll. "If you want to know why I'm upset, it's this Lucas. I can't trust you, plain and simple. I don't want a guy who sleeps with other females and if that makes me some weird humanlike skinwalker, then so be it!"

Lucas looked at her in surprise. "I haven't slept with anyone since you've been back!"

"Not according to blondie over there!" she spat back, giving Presley a dirty look.

Lucas whipped his head around and spotted Presley on the pier, the anger on his face made the watching Presley shake.

Get over here. Now!

Presley scooted off the pier, into the water and swam over to the raft. Lucas was glaring holes in her the whole time. She did not get on the raft however, but only pulled herself up onto her arms, looking scared at Lucas's anger.

"Did we sleep together on Thursday?" he questioned with barely suppressed anger in his voice.

Presley looked from Lucas to Sophia and then back to Lucas, looking upset at being caught in her lie. She did not want to rescind her words in front of Sophia but she knew she could not get away with lying to Lucas.

"Did we?" he snapped at her louder.

"No!" she snapped back, not looking at Sophia.

"Have I even touched you since Sophia's been back?" Lucas ordered her to answer.

Presley was very angry at having to admit defeat in front of Sophia. "No," she said softer this time.

"Then why did you tell her that we did?"

"I didn't tell her that!" Presley glared at Sophia now. "I only said that I went over to your house. That was not a lie!"

Sophia hated hearing this. Who was the one lying? She started to get up, getting ready to leave. "You know what? It doesn't matter, you two just go ahead and play your little games with each other. Leave me out of them."

"You're going to tell her exactly what happened on Thursday and your going to tell her now!" Lucas's eyes were glowing and his nails were lengthening. Presley became very frightened. Sophia was surprised at his display. She waited to see what would happen.

"O.K., O.K.," Presley squeaked, "I went over there to be with Lucas, but he turned me down. He didn't let me in. O.K.? Are you happy now?" She glared at Sophia. Sophia just looked at the floor of the raft, feeling confused. She had been angry for nothing and she realized she had hurt Lucas as well.

Lucas was not finished with Presley. "Don't ever try to mislead Sophia like that again, do you hear?" He was still very angry with her. "I won't tolerate lies about me!"

Presley cast her eyes down. "I'm sorry," she said softly.

"Now get out of here!" He snapped at her and watched her swim back to shore. Then he looked over at Sophia. She was standing now, looking at him with regret.

"I'm sorry Lucas. I'm sorry I believed what I did and for the things I said to you. It just really hurt me when I thought you had slept with her," Sophia admitted. She looked down at the water, feeling like an idiot.

Lucas stepped over to her, relief washing over him. He was happy to see this more recognizable, softer, Sophia. He lifted her chin up to look at his face. "You're the only one I want Sophia."

Sophia felt her heart expand with joy as he said those words. The ones she had always wanted to hear. "Lucas," she whispered as she flew into his arms, grabbing hold around his waist. Lucas breathed a sigh of relief and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into his warm embrace. He laid his cheek upon her hair and breathed in her special scent.

"God, I thought I'd lost you," he admitted, his voice muffled in her hair. He placed light kisses on her head, moving his lips across her cheek and finally finding her ready mouth. Sophia brought her arms up around his neck and pulled him down closer as the kiss deepened to a frantic pace. The full moon watched from the sky, filling them with more raw need. Sophia's leg lifted and wrapped around Lucas's thigh and he immediately grabbed on to it, lifting it over his hip, giving her most heated place the pressure it craved. Sophia began little moans into his feasting mouth, feeling a powerful need building inside her every cell.

Just then, the other skinwalkers on the pier began whooping and cheering, all except a certain blonde and her two friends. Sophia lowered her leg and broke the kiss, turning three shades of red as she tucked her embarrassed face into Lucas's shoulder. Lucas chuckled and held her, giving little kisses to the top of her head.

"Welcome to your first real full moon baby. It's going to be an interesting night," he promised.

O.K. fans, here's your chance to put your two cents in. Lot's of things could happen on this full moon night, so how would you like to see it shape up? More sex or more violence? I have story lines that could go either way, so what's your preference?
