Over the years she had always treated him with utmost sincerity and trust. She had held him in high esteem… counted him as a best friend.
Ready to help and accept his help. Yet at this moment, she felt as though she had never truly known him.

It wasn't just that he is a werewolf but the fact he had hidden it and never mentioned such a thing left a bitter taste in her mouth.
It reminded her that she had always been all alone at the Nortons' because they were like a knife hovering over her head… waiting for any opportunity to chop her off.
Had he concluded she was unreliable or maybe even untrustworthy to keep his secret?
Lucas swallowed, the question had really hit harder than he had expected.
Maybe it was out of guilt or regret that he didn't find her earlier. Lucas' lips parted to speak but he couldn't say anything.
