Turning my head to face him, squandered in the shadows that I could barely make out his expression. “I’m cautious. It’s only natural since I have no idea where we are going.” I responded, inserting a sliver of truth but unwilling to share more details.
He chuckled, the sound airy and breezy. “That’s understandable considering what you have been through with that monstrous creature.”
I pressed my lips tightly together, biting my tongue to suppress the rebuttal. His tone woven with disdain when speaking of wolves, I could relate in the past, but everything changed. I’d be detesting myself and Melody didn’t deserve that hatred when she saved me from Thomas.
