Aunt Carol

It wasn't until Kate and I were both in the car, and I saw that Alex was some distance away from our car, that I turned my head to Kate. I asked the question that I had wanted to ask for a while. "What happened to you just now? You've been out of your mind since we left the car."

Kate didn't say anything, but I saw her hands shaking as she held the steering wheel. I was really afraid that she would drive straight into a tree.

"I..." Kate only said one word before she shut her mouth tightly. I could tell from her furrowed brows that she was struggling.

In front of the car, I could already see the lights coming from the houses of the Ancient Woods Pack. We had arrived at the core area of the pack. Alpha Alex was standing in front of our car, waiting for us to get off.

Kate killed the engine, but she did not move. I followed her gaze and saw that she was staring at Alex.

"Cecily"

I heard Kate call my name and turned to look at her.
