Emma's POV
My eyes welled up with tears as Bennett, Hunter, and Parker shared their findings. I listened, my heart racing, as they revealed the possibility that I was never truly part of the Nightshade pack.
At first, a wave of relief washed over me. I was not one of them. I didn't belong to the pack that had tormented me for so long.
But as the truth sank in, my relief gave way to heartbreak. My biological parents abandoned me. They handed me over to the pack, leaving me to suffer at their hands.
Tears streamed down my face as I processes this new information. I felt like my whole identity had been turned upside down.
"Why?" I whispered, my voice cracking with emotion. "Why did they leave me?"
Bennett, Hunter, and Parker exchanged sympathetic glanced. They couldn't answer my question, but they offer me comfort and support.
"We're here for you, Emma," Parker said, his voice gentle. "We'll help you uncover the truth about your past and your parents."
