The Healer

"You what?" Aiden stared at me as if I had just been convinced of a crime, what I actually did. He arched an eyebrow, then blinked his eyes a few times, as if trying to figure out if I'm real or not. I put my hand back on his shoulder, so he could easily find an answer to his question. 

"I killed the Beta, his Beta," I repeated, specifying which Beta I killed, "He's on the lake down in the woods if they didn't take his dead body."

"They didn't. We killed mostly a bigger half of those who came here, so there's almost no one left to take the dead bodies. Those who survived run away, saving their miserable lives." William answered, looking at me, and letting his eyes stay on my neck and the mark on it that was visible thanks to the round neckline of my knitted sweater.
