I immediately trusted Mina’s instincts. She was too sure of it for me to even begin to question it, and she had never been wrong about these sorts of things before. And besides, by now I had spent so long frantically searching the apartment for my tooth that I was desperate. It was the only physical thing I had that was linking me to my past and my lineage. 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.

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
