But walls can crumble and basketball matches can run longer than expected, so hiding out is definitely not a foolproof method. So what if you really, really wanted to play it safe? Well, you'd have to find a way for the moon to never rise. Yeah, you're pretty fast now that you have those Teen Wolf powers, but not fast enough to actually outrun the moon, surely? But what about jets? If you could get aboard a jet and keep it in the air long enough to stay in the sunlight, would you avoid turning?

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, 'OVERBOOKED'!"
In 1973, the Concorde managed to keep up with a solar eclipse for 74 minutes. One year later, the SR-71 Blackbird flew from New York to London in less than two hours, including time to refuel in midair. That's four time zones in two hours -- plenty of time to stay ahead of fangs-o'-clock and spend 24 straight hours working on your tan.
So in theory, a rich-ass werewolf could drop a few dozen million dollars into acquiring a military-grade jet, stay immortal, and live the ultimate canine dream of successfully chasing the sun. And if the sweet release from a gruesome skin-bursting transformation isn't enough to convince you, remember: You'd be a werewolf flying around the world in a fighter jet. That may be the coolest sentence we've ever written.
We suppose you could also go the other way and have a psychotic werewolf who uses a Concorde to maximize werewolf time, but not even Warren Buffet could afford the costs of reupholstering an entire plane every month.
