CHAPTER 31

"Does that make you uncomfortable?" Krey asked.

Pip nodded. "I don't know why."

"It's because we don't exist in human lives, well, you think we don't."

"Human lives," Pip repeated. "I-That sounded weird."

"And werewolf didn't?" Krey thought Pip would at least smile, but his lips didn't even move, Krey would know because he kept staring at his mouth. Pip seemed to go a shade lighter. He already looked unwell. "Are you okay?"

Pip wrapped arms around himself. "I haven't really slept."

"Because of what you saw?"

Pip nodded.

"I'm sorry. I would have told you eventually, but I didn't want you to find out that way." Krey would have preferred to tell Pip when they were comfortable with each other, and Pip was used to seeing wolves. Krey had lived in a fantasy. Nothing ever went his way.

"I-Is this your secret?" Pip asked. "The one you wanted to tell me but didn't think I was ready."

"Yes. I was right not to tell you."
