If I didn’t have that tooth, I felt lost, and I felt as though I might never find my parents or at least find out who they were.

as she did, her ears began to grow more pointed and her fingernails began to extend; the first signs of her shifting. Edrick and I both gasped as she started to shift, and I took a few steps backwards and clamped my hand over my heart. Even a little werewolf that was only Ella’s size could wreak havoc indoors, and children were notorious for not controlling their wolves very well when they shifted. If she shifted indoors, it could be a
