Chapter 14: Return to the Perez House (Lucia's POV)

I haven't been to my grandmother's house since she passed away. The day of her funeral, was the day I was taken in by the Wolf People Clan. Their generosity in my time of need will never be forgotten by me. Returning to my grandma's house after a year will be hard to do.

No one came looking for me to settle her debts, because I was seventeen. My name disappeared from the town, and the only mention of my name was when I was blamed for the death of Cody. It was never true of course, I didn't kill him. If I returned to the human world with Cody at my side it would create a rabbit hole of interview questions.

The Perez house was left alone until I would become of age. I am of age now, but I not ready to inherit the house or any of my grandmother's property. Despite growing up there the stuff within the walls never felt like mine. It always felt like it was grandma's, and to take it would feel wrong. I don't have room for a house full of stuff as the future wife of the next chieftain.
