Scarlett pov
(Full moon. 9:45pm)
It's the night of the full moon, a time I've always dreaded. Being a werewolf is a fate I wouldn't wish on anyone, not even my worst enemy, but it's a reality my son will face one day. As I gather my belongings, I realize I need to get to the woods; my transformation is going to be violent, and I must distance myself from the people I love. I picked up my chain from the wardrobe, tears welling in my eyes as I continued to pack.
What am I forgetting? I can't let Marian see anything related to my transformation; she has no idea I'm a werewolf. With my bag slung over my shoulder, I approached the door. A quick glance at the wall clock sent a shiver through me, the ticking echoing in my heart. I clamped my hand over my mouth to stifle my emotions.
