Chapter 17

The exhaustion I felt instantly disappeared as I stared intently at the mark on Valerie’s right shoulder. I’d been with her for as long as I could remember. We’d been going to this before and this was the only time that I saw something like that. It was a mark that I’d known through my vague research about werewolves and she was the last person I imagined would have something like that. I didn’t want to assume that it had something to do with werewolves, but I couldn’t help myself from jumping to a conclusion. Noticing that it was an odd mark that was etched deep in the skin, it was hard to assume that it was a love bite rather it looked like it came from an animal. The mild swelling also made me skeptical that had me thinking that she just had this recently.
