Single Mother of a Werewolf Baby

Chapter 8 - Rayndell

Almost three weeks had passed since Eleanor turned into a werewolf. During this time, she stayed at Ethan's house while completing the tasks assigned to her by Fiona and Xavier or being personally trained by them. To her astonishment, she had read thousands of books in their home library in such a short period! Even more surprising was the fact that she could remember every single detail from them.

The vast amount of knowledge she had accumulated helped her understand the supernatural world, the werewolf society, and the significant role werewolves played in the prosperity of human civilization. She now had a clear picture of her current situation, and for the first time, she was truly grateful to Ethan for granting her this gift.

Although she was no longer human, she had accepted her reality and was now focused on how to raise her baby properly. Technically, Ethan was now the baby's father, but she was determined to raise her child on her own. Having experienced the trauma of a stepfamily, she feared a similar fate for her child. Although Ethan and his family had been nothing but kind to her, she did not want to take any risks. She wanted to give her child the best possible future.

A change had also occurred during this time. Ethan's parents had informed her that she would now be considered their adoptive daughter, and her surname would be changed to Raynor. She had no objections since she had grown to despise the name Whitmore. As the police were still searching for her, the paperwork would be completed once things settled down.

One afternoon, Fiona arrived and handed Eleanor a travel backpack, instructing her to pack for a journey. However, there was little to pack, as she had arrived with only one set of clothes. The outfits she had worn these past weeks were either combat attire provided by Fiona or sleeping garments given to her by Selene. She packed everything she had, including money and jewelry. Fiona warned her not to reveal any werewolf features during their journey and to remain in human form, as they would be traveling through human-populated areas.

After boarding the car with Fiona, Eleanor noticed that a driver was already waiting behind the wheel. The car ride lasted for nearly half an hour before stopping in front of a luxurious villa. Fiona exited the vehicle and proceeded to board a helicopter that was waiting on the villa's helipad. Eleanor hesitated for a moment before following her.

After some time, the helicopter landed atop a building. From the aerial view, Eleanor estimated that they were somewhere near the Lake District. Fiona led her downstairs, where another car was waiting for them. They boarded, and after another half-hour journey, the vehicle came to a stop. Fiona and Eleanor got out, and the driver left, leaving them alone in the wilderness.

Fiona turned to Eleanor and said, "Now, we have to walk the rest of the way. It's about an hour's walk, and we should reach our destination before sundown."
