Zed POV

"Useless! None of these history books say where the moonstone is hidden!" Willa shouted. I gulped nervously.

"Win the wolves' vote, win the election. Easy," I approached the werewolves, who were all sitting at a table. "Hello wolves, allow me to introduce myself. I'm Zed, zombie, football star, presidential hopeful.... Okay..."

This was not going well, so Eliza stepped in. "When zombies first came to Seabrook, we were outsiders too, which is why you need a great president like Zed to represent you. We'd be honored if you guys joined us."

Wynter looked upset. "Our pack is our pack. We don't need anyone else, so..."

Zoey seemed confused. "Who doesn't want more friends? Underneath all that fluffy hair, I bet you're a real softie."

"I am a mean, mean werewolf, kid. I am tough and rough."

"Aww, you said 'ruff." Like a sweet little puppy dog! Ruff, ruff!"

"We are beasts of the forest, we will never be tamed..." Wynter trailed off as Zoey scratched by behind her ears. "Oh boy. Oh wow, that's great. Oh wow," Willa glared at her. "Sorry."

Willa sighed in anger. "We're nothing like you zombies."

Eliza was quick to disagree. "You sort of are. Your necklace is powered, right? Kind of like an organic Z-band." Willa looked impressed.

"You're smarter than he looks."

"Thanks."

I think I was starting to get the point. "That necklace keeps you from fully wolfing out?" I asked, reaching out to touch Willa's necklace. She slapped my hand away.

"The opposite. Our moonstones make us our true werewolf selves."

"So without it you'd be human?"

"No, we'd die. We'd be nothing."
