Ezra’s POV Zoya's words hung in the air, weaving a web of confusion and disbelief around me. "I know… I know what you truly are." Did she just say what I thought she just said? Or were my ears deceiving me? Her revelation pierced through the shield of denial I had hastily constructed, urging me to confront the truth that had been concealed for far too long. A flicker of resistance danced in my eyes as I searched for a way to dismiss her claims, to attribute them to the haze of her fevered state. What could I even possibly say in response? What if she was talking about something else entirely, and if I wasn’t careful with my words, I’d end up giving away my identity as a werewolf when in fact it wasn’t what she meant at all? What did you know? What are you talking about? How much do
