A Gift from the Goddess
Chapter 119
Book Two – Ch.# 11
“You were never meant to grow up in a city like this. Our kind stays together for a reason.” I could hear what Kieran was saying, but I was struggling to fully grasp it.
‘Not human.’
‘Our kind’.
‘Werewolf’.
The words kept swimming around in my head. An explanation that seemed too impossible to believe. And yet, at the same time, what he was saying somehow made sense.
He was right. I wasn’t human. A part of me had always known that, dating back to when I was a child. I was never like the other kids at the house. Turning eighteen had just manifested that part of me in the form of a beast.
So… was this what had been missing then?
I was a werewolf? Like in those scary stories?
Like… in those *monster* movies…?
“…How do I make it go away?” I asked after a few moments, my voice barely louder than a whisper. “How do I stop being… a werewolf? To be normal?”
“Raven… it’s a part of who you are. There isn’t any way to remove it.”
“But I don’t want to live with this burden of losing control at any moment,” I argued. “I can’t afford to have slips when things go wrong, or have this constantly interfering with every little thing I do. I’m living in a nightmare every time I lapse.”
He took another few cautious steps towards me but I didn’t back away this time. With every word he spoke, my resolve to push him away faded a little bit more. It was as though his presence had a soothing effect on me and I couldn’t deny that I needed that right now.
“…It doesn’t have to be a curse,” he said slowly. “I can help you manage it. You didn’t grow up learning about the things you needed to… but I can teach you. It’s not too late.”
He held out a hand to me, as if inviting me to take it. Offering me something that no one else had ever before; A chance to live my life without fear.
…But what would it cost me?
“I just need you to trust me, Raven,” he said, making my gaze shift from his hand to his eyes
Familiar. There was familiarity when I looked at him, the same feeling I’d experienced when I first met him. As if I’d always known him. Whatever this reaction to him was, it was strong enough to sway every behaviour in my life.
If I believed him and accepted that this influence wasn’t due to foul intervention, then did that mean that my body had been telling me to trust him this whole time? That it was recognising
