Chapter 33

Aria's POV...

I think my words were too harsh and caused Devon to be startled. His eyes darted around like they were seeking an escape. Probably I should have kept my big mouth shut.

"What do you mean by death awaits you, Aria?" He inquired.

I sighed, looking up to the grey cloud, "Forget I said anything. My words must have startled you; I had no intention for that to happen."

"No, no." He waved hurriedly, "I mean, was I shocked; yes. But that doesn't mean I don't want to hear it. That is if you are comfortable talking about it."

I was raised by adoptive parents who had a daughter my age; they didn't treat me nicely. But I wanted to be nice to them and do whatever they wanted, which still doesn't seem enough. They decided to make me pay for all of their kindness, and they did a wolf swap between their daughter and me."<
