Chapter 39

"I hope you won't resent me if I tell you why I am here, Amanda." She said and I simply pressed her hands too and nod my head.

Silence means yes.

She tried to hold her tears again. She held her breath deeply. I can feel her shivering hands holding at me. She's hiding something scary I guess.

"Tell me, I'm here to listen, mom!" I told her.

"I killed your adopted parents. I was the one who attacks them! It's an accident. I tried to help them but they thought I will kill them." She finally told me everything.

But still, I can't understand what she meant.

" What? Can you please tell me vividly, please!" I told her.

Her eyes shifted on me full of guilt.

She didn't reply.

Instead of answering me, my eyes stretch wide open when her form gradually changes into a wolf-like mine.

Anika's mom is a shapeshifter too!

A loud growl echoed inside her room.
