#Chapter 38 – A Shattered Reality

After the game, Arthur’s revelation of my true identity, that I was a Winslow, completely turned my world upside down. As I walked through the halls of school the next week, I could feel the eyes on me, the whispers following in my wake. Everyone knew. Ella used to always talk about how much people whispered about her because she was a human. I knew that our kind could be unkind to humans. That’s why I knew that I had to protect her. But this was the first time that I was facing this kind of attention. Usually, people gave me attention because I was Liam Gravens, the Alpha werewolf who was always leading our hockey team into victory after victory. But this time, I didn’t know what to make of all the stares. Sometimes they felt like curiosity, sometimes judgmental, and something else I couldn’t quite place—pity, maybe. That was the worst of all. I couldn’t stand when anybody pitied me. And I wouldn’t stand for it. During history class, Professor King looked directly at me.
