Dad's jaw ticked, and his eyes grew hard." She killed her wolf so he'd not die. In return she turned fully human, causing her wolf essence to die inside his blood also." I try to wrap my mind around the information he had just given, trying to make sense of what he had just revealed.
Why hadn't you said so sooner?" I gritted under my breath, frustrated that he kept that knowledge from me. I wouldn't mind turning human for Avery. As long as she was alive and our pup was okay, I'd do anything.
