“I keep explaining to people, that was just a few lycan who went crazy from the things done to them in the labs. Why won’t anyone believe me?” Dean came to hug Kiera.

Shin is not afraid of being asked to do homework, but she is just not ready if she gets insulted again. Shin thought this was a good offer. She has no place to live, nor does she have any acquaintances. Looks like an attractive offer, even if only for one night at least tonight she can rest in peace, she thought.
