ANNABELLE“No, honey, you aren’t sure. You don’t just want to admit that there are many things that've been happening right under your nose that you’re unaware of.” I cocked my head to the side, making sure that I was focused on him. I wanted to see every emotion that filtered across his face.“Carden had been bullying the kids and I think they did not tell you because they did not want you to feel bad for having yours since they know that being a hybrid is unacceptable. And also, he threatened to expose them to the world if they told you. He was also going to kill you and take over the pack with the help of …” with my eyes still on Ezra, I pointed at the elders running around in the throne room, “Your believed elders.
