I’ve been kept in the dark for so long that I don’t even know what’s true or fake in my life. I just can’t understand why no one told me.” She whined softly. “Why was everything kept such a secret? Or perhaps Maria didn’t know about me.” She shrugged.
Triko listened to her and sighed. "She knows what you are." He told her quietly. "It is not my place to tell you such but someone should be honest with you at lest." He said as he looked at the young female. "The woman is not human any more than you or I are." He said calmly. "She is a wolf who hides as a human. Likey to protect both you and the human boy that she has raised. She may have believed that things were too complicated to explain to you or that you would not understand. Maybe she thought you would be better off living as a, and I know that you do not like the word, pet. Since both she and the boy treated you as such. Granted he does not seem to know what we are or anything of our world. She however does." Triko was blunt about what he was saying. He was honest with her. It was not in him to lie to someone in such situations.

We did get whiff of a hunter being in the nearby town a few days before. Her mother sent her GPS location on her phone before she bled out. When I arrived, she was handed over to me. Since she was in her wolf form, they didn’t need to keep a puppy around.” She smirked. “I know other packs stick to old ties and tradition but we tried blending in with society.” She gave a small shrug. “I’m sorry I can’t be of better use. There wasn’t much information I could gather before I fled the area and came south. Tell me something. Is she doing okay? She can be emotional sometimes.” She looked at the man like she did with all people young as if he were a younging. “Don’t get me wrong. Jessica might be old enough but she is still a puppy in my eyes.”
Novak listened and shook his head. "And you see what trying to blend in with human got you." He was not reserved nor did he hold his tongue. After all, they had moved into his territory uninvited. He looked directly at the old woman. "You should not have his what she was from her. Had she known. Had you bothered to teach her 'anything' then this would not be as hard for her as it is now going to be. I have already gathered that she is emotionally unstable and that she has never been taught to get along with others that were not pets." His air did not change. "Should she lose herself in all of this. The blame can fall to no one but the one who denied her of her heritage and of what she truly is. She does not understand that there is no 'wolf' inside of her. She does not understand that that primal energy and aggression is her. It is what she should have been taught to control when she was young. Even hybrids have more control than she does." He stated sharply. "As for the boy. You are a wolf. If you wanted to control his you could have easily. However, you have lost your pride as a wolf long ago. That is why you are in the state that you are in. Sick and dying at this age." He sneered. "No 'domesticated' wolf ever lives as long as the real thing."
