“Fuck, why the hell did I let you talk me into this?” I asked Raven as I stared at the building before me.

Maybe it was just me, but it looked menacing. Like it was a place where every kind of nightmare. comes true. My feeling about it may just be because of what Alec and his pack did to me, but it didn’t

matter. I felt what I felt.

“Because you have to. Whether he accepts responsibility or not is up to him. At least you will have told him the entire truth,” she answered, rubbing my back in a comforting way.

I continue staring at the looming building, my heart torn into two. I know that Raven is right. Despite the monster Alec became to me, he deserves to know that he’s going to be a father. Even though I know this, it doesn’t really stop the doubt raging inside me.

Am I really doing the right thing? Alec proved to me that he’s cruel. He revealed the born monster inside him. The one feared by everyone. Is such a man even capable of love? Will he love my child? My biggest fear is that he’ll use my child to punish me, or, worse, punish him or her for the mistakes he thinks I made. I don’t think I could handle it if that ever happened.

“Come on, let’s get this over and done with.”

Raven grabs my hand and proceeds to pull me towards where I am sure my doom awaits.

“Wait,” I said, pulling us to a stop. “We have to find another way to see him. I am a banished wolf. The moment I walk through those doors, they’ll know, and I’ll either be kicked out or killed on the spot.

“Damn, I hadn’t thought about that… You’re right.” her hand holds her chin as she lightly taps her lips. She was thinking. I’ve come to know that that’s what she does when she’s in deep thought.

“Banishment for wolves is connected to their scent, right?” she asks.

“Yes”

When a wolf is banished, their scent changes. There are four kinds of wolves. Pack wolves, banished wolves, rogues, and loner wolves.

Pack wolves take the scents of packs and are easily recognized, as we usually mingle with others just to make sure that we know each specific pack. This is mainly done during the Moon Festival, when packs all over the world meet for the Moon Annual Ball.

Rogue wolves are wolves that have given up their humanity. They decide to live more like beasts than
