Helanie:
My mother's words had left me deeply bothered. I went straight to my room and lay down in my bed, sleeping until midnight.
The howls were louder that night, and I could tell they were different from the howls of a werewolf. They were of lycans.
At this point, I thought I could differentiate between the howls easily. I stayed in my bed until the howls turned deadly. My body shuddered, and I jumped up, sitting straight and looking around at the windows that I almost never cover up.
Soon the commotion in the mansion made me run out of my room to find everyone gathered in the living room. Some of the housemaids and the chefs, who were mostly at the maid's corner, had also come out.
My mother's eyes helplessly lingered on my face before she looked away. I joined them silently, standing between Charlotte, Emma, and my mother.
