No more lies (4)

Author's note: this is from Duke's point of view

I was not sure why Serina picked this location for us to have a picnic. A neighborhood park would do just fine.

She told me that we need to talk, and her serious expression made me assume the worst. Is she going to dump me?

But then she spoke about magic and creatures and how I'm not really human because my father was a werewolf, and she stabbed herself (scaring the shit out of me), and she told me how during Luca's birthday party I was surrounded by werewolves, and I even fought against one.

It was difficult to swallow and if it came from anyone other than Serina, I would probably punch that person in the face.

No matter how crazy her story sounded, I believed her.

Serina looked at me with sincerity and her smile made all the heaviness of the new information much lighter than it should be.

Creatures live among humans, and I am one of them. Well, at least half of me.
