Single Mother of a Werewolf Baby

Chapter 31: The Grant Family

After Sebastian vanished into the shadows, Mr. Grant stood frozen on the spot. Eleanor could sense the awkwardness hanging in the air, but she waited patiently. She knew he needed a moment to process everything. She had no intention of hiding her power from him. If anything, she needed him to shed his protective instinct toward her and see her for who she had become.

She understood where his protectiveness came from. As one of her mother’s closest friends, he had always held a soft spot for her. She had known Mr. Grant since childhood and remembered how much he cared. But now, she needed him to see her as a capable adult, someone who could protect not only herself but others as well.

Eleanor took her seat without hesitation.

"You’ve grown up, Eleanor," he said, his voice heavy with emotion. "I always knew you as the shy, kind, lively, and adorable girl. I was afraid someone would hurt you again." His voice trailed off at the end.

"Uncle, I know what I used to be. I caused a lot of worry for all of you," Eleanor said softly. "I should’ve grown up earlier."

He looked at her, concern still lingering in his eyes. "Now that you’re here, do you plan to go back to that family?"

Eleanor scoffed. "Whitmore’s? I have no intention of returning to them."
