Emma. 

I got home in tears. I could not believe what had just happened. The words Tomas used were heartless and cruel. I knew my father was the reason for all our predicaments, but Tomas had no right to use his shortcomings like that. His words and behaviour were wicked. Not breaking up with me wasn’t cowardice on his part, as I had implied. He did not feel I was relevant. He did not see me as a person. I was a werewolf just like him. I couldn’t fight and kickass, but I was educated and had prospects if given an opportunity. The only difference was that I had a father that made poor decisions that landed us in the hole. While he came from a lineage of rich people with strong connections, my family had nothing. No money, no contacts and no power. Our breeds were worlds apart, but he wasn’t better than me. 

Tomas had hurt me in the worst way possible. I could not believe he was the same man that used to spend time with me. He used to tell me he loved me and did not care what the world said. He used to tell me he wanted to spend the rest of his long life with me. There were times he promised me we would run away together so we could be in peace and the whole class and breed thing would not matter. I believed him and believed him so much that I gave him everything. I was mad at myself for allowing him to trick me like that. His love was too good to be real, but I foolishly fell into his trap. He had set me free, but my heart was still tangled in a mess. 

I returned home and found my father on the chair in deep thought. From the look on his face, he had sunk himself into more debts. This was the time to work, earn some money and leave Celio. 

“Where did you go?” my father asked me. I hoped he would not sense me come in, but I guess he wasn’t in deep thought as I thought. 

“Sort out personal issues,” I replied, trying to sound as if nothing was the matter. 

“Did you go to that interview?” He asked, and I wondered how that was his business. It wasn’t my fault that we were broke.
