“She’s not angry.” Eric tells me as he walks me home. “You have to remember that she hasn’t been a Lycan for long. A lot of things are still new for her.”

“I know. They lied to her, convincing her that she is a Wolf.” They kept reminding me of that every chance they got. But she also needed to know that her past didn't define her.

“It’s more than that. Imagine what it’s been like to be lied to her entire life. To be thrown into something she knew nothing about. To have had everything taken from her. From where I’m standing, she’s handling it pretty damn well.”

“We are not wrong. Compared to what she was like, she’s a different person now.”

“You think she’s frustrated?”

He nods with a sad smile. “Frustrated with herself, because trust me, you would know if she was angry. Everything is a learning curve. Not everyone settles into something so easily.
