The Lullaby of Wolfbane
“And that’s the only reason he’s alive right now.”
Her breath hitches. I glance toward the corridor where they dragged him, cuffs, guards, judgment. “A monster can still make a choice.”
Tessa’s tears spill harder. “What does that mean.”
I turn back to her, voice quiet now, but still steady, the kind of steady Lia taught me.
“It means,” I say, “he may be a monster.”
My throat tightens, but I keep going.
“And he may be redeemable.”
Tessa stares at me like she’s trying to understand how both can be true. I reach out and squeeze her hand, grounding her with pressure.
