-Corrine-If only Andrew wasn’t my mate, I would accuse him of lying right away and drive him away from me. But I was sure he was not lying, and my conviction made the pain in my chest now even more suffocating.My pack did such a despicable thing just for wealth. There was nothing more disgusting than that, and the worst part was, without realizing it, I became part of that cruelty. Although I didn’t know about this beforehand, I was a part of the pack, which indirectly made me the same as them.It seemed my current condition was weakening my mental defenses, and Andrew could hear everything inside my mind. He touched my hand, releasing my embrace, and then stood up. “It is not your fault, Corrine. You have nothing to do with this.” Now it was his turn to try to calm me down. He pulled me into his embrace and gently stroked my head before leaning it against his chest.“Have you finished avenging them now that you’ve killed them?” I asked, softly. I waited for a few moments before dec

-Corrine-The first thing that crossed my mind when I heard my mother’s scream was to shift and run towards Wesgrove. My hand gripped my phone so tightly that my knuckles turned red and hot. My mind went blank. This was all my fault. Now I had to go and save my mother or—The phone rang again, pulling me out of the dark thoughts that had momentarily misled me. Andrew’s name appeared on the screen.“Andrew.” My voice cracked when I said his name. “Andrew, my mom—”“I know. Eva told me. That’s why I called you.”“I have to go back to Wesgrove and—”“Don’t.”“But, my mom—”“Corrine, listen to me,” Andrew called my name, but I kept talking. He then called my name several times again. He sounded firm yet calm, and I found myself swayed by the mood he created. “Breathe, baby. Close your eyes and take a deep breath.”I did as he instructed. I closed my eyes and focused on each breath I took. “Now, will you listen to me?” he asked after we were silent for a few moments.“Yes.”“Good.” I hear

-Andrew-I didn’t wait for them to attack me first. As soon as my transformation was complete, I jumped up and pounced on the werewolf that was closest to me.I sank my sharp teeth into his neck and tore it apart.Blood gushed out, soaking my mouth and face.Instantly, the werewolf collapsed.I wasn’t sure if he would die right away, but at least I have one less opponent.“Kill him!” I heard Jerome exclaim before he shifted and, along with the other werewolves, attacked me.I didn’t know how they knew this secret passage after all the years I’d passed through it without a problem.Maybe they deliberately made me think that this was a safe, secret route.I couldn’t possibly fight them all at once, but I could still immobilize them and then escaped from here.Too bad I couldn’t fulfill my promise to Corrine.My hands and feet moved swiftly, ripping and punching, kicking and dodging.These werewolves were good at fighting, but they couldn’t be as flexible as lycans because they had to mo
