Twenty second birthday

“You should thank the moon goddess that the first thing the council did not do is initiate you into the pack. By now, everyone would have access to your memories.

“Without the truth serum I am taking all the things I know about you would be in the wrong hands. Your secrets and everything you are hiding.”

“Wolf telepathy! …. Is that what you could come up with and expect me to trust you again blindly, just like that?”

“You are too hardheaded, just like your mother.”

How I wish I was like my mother.

Maria walks closer to my cell rails as she continues to speak to me. “That is what you replied to me the first time we met when I told you I knew your mother. And that you were a werewolf. I even told you a specific day of your shift. On your twenty-second birthday.”

“Yes, you did not lie about that. It's true. I am a werewolf. It was not a lie.” I mummer debating in my thoughts whether I can still trust her.
