“I had someone watching over you,” he says. Evanora, that sneaky old woman. I didn’t know she could send messages to my father. We are really going to have to talk about her communication issues.

She didn’t want to feel like an outcast and she wanted to be near her best friend Moira. I couldn’t leave my pack, so she left and didn’t tell me about you until you were about two years old. Then...well you know what happened,” he says.
“But why not bring me to live with you?” I ask.
