The Hybrid's Hope
Tanya says, as if she would never accept the woman as her stepmother.
I’ve never seen Hope interact with someone her age like she’s interacting with Tanya. As much as I want her here with me, in my arms, and in my bed, I’m glad the two of them are together. Hope has never had a female friend other than the Guardians or Faith, and they don’t really count. Faith, being younger and a full wolf, has never had the difficulties that Hope has had, and Hope has shied away from the Guardians, not wanting to draw attention to herself.
“Well, I don’t want to keep you. What are you doing for the rest of the night?” I ask.
