The beginning of summer, the Bruchenhaus family has gathered together for their annual family campout, this time at Yellowstone National Park. Keeping their eyes out for bears, none of them would suspect a pair of werewolves hunting that full moon in the same park. Luckily for them, they are civilized werewolves—Howard Richard Deacon the Second and his son 'Rick' Deacon. It is even luckier, because Rick personally knows Audry Bruchenhaus and would do anything to keep her safe. This is especially helpful, as a desperately hungry cougar decides to stalk the Bruchenhaus family, hoping to catch a little bite out of one of the younger family members—and Rick has caught its scent. The problem is, a lone wolf is no match for a grown cougar. [more]
