Chapter 137

Blood. Screams. Crunching sounds. Blood Screams. Crunching sounds. Claws. Claire. Her friends.

So much blood.

Ava woke up with a jolt and immediately felt her stomach churning. With her heart still pounding, she pushed the bedding off her body and rushed to the adjoining bathroom

“I’m sorry, Dad,” she sobbed. “I didn’t mean to, I can’t even remember any of it”

“Shh. It will be okay, linle one, her dad said as she pulled her away from him and looked into her eyes. “I’ve always told you you have a wolf. else could you have kept up with the rest of the pack without one?”

She didn’t think she’d kept up at all. She’d had to work three times as hard as anyone else just to barely catch up. She had no idea why her father had always believed in her when there was absolutely no evidence to show she had a wolf.
