So this is the beginning part to a novel I'm writing. Can you please tell me your thought on it? Thanks BB :D

The light of the full moon was shining down on her. Everywhere around her people were in different states of undress, preparing for the change that was going to happen. Next month it would be her turn. She could feel her heart beat with excitement. Squirming on the tree limb, she let her eyes wander over her pack-mates. She could feel her beast's need to run with the pack, her skin tingled from the energy building up inside her. Her hands ran over her arms trying to sooth the energy that was pricking her skin. A shout from the pack leader called the pack to order. She could see Maddor, his arms and legs bending with his transformation, and the silvery hair of his fur, slowly covering his skin. It was time. As their leader changed, the pack followed. Their once human bodies, bending and twisting with the change, and their fur slowly covered their skin.

As the last of the pack finished their change, Abby, her hungry eyes never straying from her packmates, felt the beast inside her howl, desperate to join the pack that was preparing for their run. As much as she and her beast longed to join them, she knew it was far too dangerous to run with the pack while in her human form. Once their beasts took over, especially during a hunt, they acted just as their nature called for them to do.

Abby sat on the tree limb, and waited, waited until the pack would return. As the night grew colder, Abby wished for the higher heat that would come when she first changed. Soon Abby's eyes began to close, and she felt weariness overcome her. The pack would be gone for quite a while still, so Abby let her body slump against the tree trunk, and closed her eyes. Telling herself it would only be for awhile.

"Abby! Abby!” Startling awake, Abby had to grab onto the tree as she felt her body fall forward.

"Tyler you idiot, hasn't you momma taught you to not wake a girl sleeping in a tree."

"Okay, just thought you might want to get to school on time."

School? School! Shit! what time was it. Looking at the watch on her wrist, Abby swore and frantically started climbing down the tree. Mr Varner would kill her if she was late again.

An hour later Abby was dressed and ready for school. If she ran she would just make it in time. Closing the front door to her house, Abby walked the short distance from the front of her house to the little trail that led to the forest near her house. Once at the forests edge she checked to make sure her packback was secure on her back and then started to run. The trees blurred to smudgy green as she swiftly ran, her long legs quickly eating up the ground under her. Abby knew every rock, tree and limb in the forest, she had run in here since she was able to tottle. She nimbly jumped over a fallen tree limb, the speed and exhilaration of the run causing her to laugh in delight.

All to soon Abby reached the end of the forest and into the busy part of Respin town. Respin was one of only a few city in the world which was only for werewolves. ‘Normals’, as she called them, were not even aware of what, or where Respin was.

Now that she was closer to the school Abby started to slow to a walk. Familiar shouts and calls were everywhere. The community was small enough that everyone knew each other.
