My wolf?
Taya blinked, then blinked again, trying to process what was happening in her body and in her head.
This all was completely foreign to her.
How had this even happened?
She could vaguely remember something with a woman and a knife in the hospital, but it was all so very fuzzy, so very far away.
Had the woman…said she was Taya’s sister?
Wait, had she tried to turn Taya?
Taya’s heart started racing, and she moved to sit up in bed, panicked by the memories and realizations flooding in.
“Ah, I see some of the puzzle pieces are starting to click,” the strange man said.
His gaze slowly roved over her body, his expression was filled with something that looked like…affection?
After staring at her for a long time, he said to George, who had come back in with a vial of some clear liquid and a syringe. “I was just kidding. You take things too seriously.”
George looked just as confused as Taya felt.
The sound of George grinding his teeth was somehow audible to Taya, and he put down the medicine and needle, turned around, and stomped out angrily.
After the man sat down on the single sofa by the bed, he said to Taya, “Since you’ve woken up, you can take her place.”
Taya didn’t know who he was talking about. She blinked at him in confusion, hoping that he would explain.
But he didn’t.
When Taya saw herself in the mirror, she didn’t recognize the woman staring back at her.
She reached up, grabbed the mirror from him, and threw it across the room, shattering it.
Seeing her reaction, the man suddenly smiled as if he had found a fun toy.
He leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and looked at her with a smirk on his face. “Why, Ms. Palmer, you’re quite interesting.”
How did he know her name? She had no idea who he was.
The man leaned over slightly and stared at Taya’s face with his deep black eyes.
“Remember my name. My name is…”
He paused for a moment as if drawing out the anticipation. “Amon Yardley.”
