บท 77: A safe place

Author's note: This is from Seraphina's point of view

- - -

Zoe, Luca, and Ash are so mature that sometimes I forget they are just teenagers who grew up in a scant environment without real parental figures.

What did I do when I was seventeen or eighteen years old? I was a low-key girl, attending high school and daydreaming about Duke.

In comparison to my past, my three fosterlings finished high school and are having jobs and responsibilities, and awesome powers.

The biggest thing I often forget about Zoe, Luca, and Ash is that they are not humans. They are werewolves, each with a beast inside that moves on instinct and amplifies their emotions while craving power and dominance.

What Ash felt like being left out must have been excruciating once his wolf augmented it and transformed it into being betrayed and abandoned by his partner.
