Chapter 44: The New Power
My face in the bathroom mirror looked the same as it always had. If what Isla claimed was true … No, there was no if. I had slowed time twice, Isla had made time freeze, and I saw her heal my wound in a split second. It was true.

Isla’s hair is the same shade of blonde as my mother, and she bore a resemblance to my mother in the photos I’ve seen of her before the attack. They both had a delicate ethereal beauty that was rare.
But still, how could I be half wolf shifter and half some other kind of magical creature? Until a short time ago, I was plain Emma: awkward, lonely, and painfully human.
That was when I didn’t have a clue magical beings and wolf shifters existed. What else was walking around with humans that they didn’t know about?
I was no longer pathetic or human. Was that a bad thing?
