Elena’s POV
No… it couldn’t be. He was lying.
“What did you say?” I asked, not because I hadn’t heard him, but because I wanted him to take it back. I wanted him to say something else, but he sighed.
“I am a werewolf, and I’m not like you. I’m not human,” he repeated gently. That was when I felt my world crumble.
I shook my head and covered my ears with my hands. “No! You’re lying! You’re making this up!”
“I’m telling the truth, Elena!” Jax tried to move closer, but the fear growing inside me made me push him away. I immediately stood in horror.
“Don’t come near me!” I yelled. “You’re a monster!”
Suddenly I felt the urge to run and hide. I… I had scratched his arm and dared to hurt him! I had mistreated him.
Knowing he was a powerful creature filled me with a new kind of terror!
