Arlene's POV
History books always made legendary tales feel distant and unreal to me. Hollywood transformed them into romantic fantasies, and I bought into every story because of a handsome actor or swoony plotline. But living through actual history is completely different.
Hundreds of thousands of human lives have been turned upside down over the past few weeks. When I discovered my twins were werewolves, I felt like I was plummeting through empty air with no safety net. Learning that I was something even more dangerous than they were hit me like a second free fall. I cannot fathom the terror ordinary people must be experiencing, discovering their safe, predictable world has shattered into something unrecognizable.
