She might’ve been my only female friend in Blood moon, but I didn’t want her to know the monster that my father really was, mainly because I didn’t want to involve her. I wanted her to worry only about herself and not me.

She didn’t know. She had no fucking idea. She didn’t even know what we were making this potion for. I didn’t have the heart to tell her that we were making it because my father wanted to kill my four guys and take me to experiment.

I rolled my eyes and grabbed a couple of empty potion containers, pulling off their corks. “Yeah, he was.”
