“Sarah?” I said softly. “Why?”

She shrugged, like she was just another woman. A human woman. “I liked the sound of it. And some people would figure out who I am because of my name. So I decided to make it easier for myself to hide.

Something about what she said didn’t sit entirely well with me.
What did she mean by she changed her name? That people recognised her? That she needed to hide?
It was almost as if she spent a lot of time on Earth, not just short, occasional visits.
“What is it, baby?” she asked, walking up to me.
I took a sudden step back, completely out of instinct.
She paused, a frown taking over her gentle features.
“Sorry,” I muttered. “It’s just… this is a little scary for me.”
She blinked twice, then smiled at me. “I can understand. I am but a stranger to you, isn’t it?”

“Would you like me to take your mom’s form? Would that help you feel more comfortable with me?”
“God, no,” I said instantly, frowning. “Please don’t do that.”
“Okay,” she smiled, “I won’t.”
I turned to glance at Zane, who still stood at the door, staring at her in disbelief. He looked too stunned to speak.
“Why don’t you sit down?” I asked, gesturing towards the sofa. “We should sit and talk, Sel—Sarah.”
“Whatever you want, Lia.” She immediately took a seat, and tapped the spot beside her, watching me expectantly.
I hesitated, but then made my way over to her, sitting beside her.
She turned to me fully, staring at me with admiration in her eyes. “You’re beautiful, Lia. Much more beautiful than I expected.”
I smiled. “Thank you.”
“I am so glad to see you here, adjusting so readily with everyone. How did human life treat you, Lia? Were your parents good to

you?”
“They are the best,” I replied. “They love me more than even you could.”
Her smile widened, and she took my hands in hers. Her touch was warm. I’d expected something cool.
“I am so happy to hear that. Every waking moment since I left you at their doorstep, I was afraid if I had done the right thing. If they were treating you with love and kindness or not. If they’d allow you to become what you were supposed to. Whether or not living under their wing, you’d ever be able to flourish the way you should. But I am so glad to hear they are good to you.”
I blinked a couple of times, trying to register her words.
“You were the most beautiful thing I ever created, Lia.” She cupped my cheek. “I made you with my own light. Blessed you with the compassion of humans, and the strength of werewolves. And of course, bits of my own power too. I wanted to see how this would turn out. If I could create a new species, something better than humans and werewolves both. But then after leaving you, the worry I constantly felt made me give up on my dream. I was always afraid for your life and safety. I kept wondering if you’re still alive, or if someone found you and discovered what you were. Thank goodness I heard you last night. I realised that you were ready to meet me, now that you knew what you are. You commanded the entire town. What exactly happened that you had to do that?”

A dull ache broke out in my chest.
What… was she saying?
A new species?
Like I was an experiment?
Did she not give birth to me?

And what did she mean when she said she didn’t know if I was alive or not?

Why was she asking questions? Wasn’t she the one with all the answers?
“What… do you mean, Sarah?” I asked, trying to choose my
words carefully. “Do you noting that has been
going on with me? Haven’t you been watching?”
She chuckled. “How would I watch, sweetheart?”
I blinked, my face falling further. “From the sky? I… talked to you. You couldn’t hear me up there?”
“Up there? In the sky?”
“Yes…?”

“That’s not where I was, baby. Did you think I was up there this whole time?”
“Yes. Where else would you be?” I whispered.
“Down here, darling. I have been living amongst the humans for seventeen years now. I thought that much was obvious. Was it
not?”
