Chapter forty-eight

It didn't feel right to lie to Ms. Rose, but I had no other choice. I told her I was only there visiting and that I am now leaving in Russia because I found someone. Well, it wasn't entirely a lie, but when she asked about my parents and what they do, I had to lie.

There were only a few girls around the room because the rest didn't feel comfortable around a stranger which was understandable. The ones that stayed just stayed silent, staring at me. I think they feel somehow drawn to me. That's one of the effects of being a lycan.

Aaron and Nick were waiting outside because their presence had the girls terrified. I hated that human cruelty did this to them.

When I gave them the stuffed animals they were really happy. It was the only moment I got to see their faces light up with a smile when was time to pick their stuffed animal. I was just so happy that I could do this small thing for them. Hopefully, they will soon be reunited with their families.
