can’t. So what makes you think that you deserve him?”

That night, when Thane had askedif | met my mother... I lied. | told him I did and didn’t know exactly why |

had to lie, but at the moment it felt like the right thing to do, and I could only hope that the maid was the only

one who knew that my mother was gone; Thane couldn't know not after I had lied to him.

Beatrix words replayed in my mind over and over again: she was in love with him, so hopelessly in love just as |

was.... if not more, she was willing to do anything just to be with him; what she felt for hirh fell on the line

But then, what if she did run away from this place?, After all that happened, what if each day. she stayed in this

Mom?

| knocked on the door; there was no response. | led again and still no response.

“Mom, if you are in there, | really need to talk to you,” | call out, my heart racing. Someone was in there; | could

feel it, and just then the door was pulled open. | had been leaning against the door, so | stumbled in, and the

door was slammed shut immediately:

None of that mattered when | saw my mother. She was here, really here, and | let out a sob, drawing her in for a

hug. I didn’t want to move away, afraid she would fade into thin air if | did. Finally | pulled free of her, but despite

the happiness clearly written on her face, there was this pained look to it. The relief was almost too much that |

had forgotten | should be mad at her.

“Where did you go?” | asked

“What do

you

mean?” she asks.

“I checked on you; every day for the last few days, you weren't here.”

“Oh dear, you know I'm busy with work...”

“Why are you lying to ma, mother? | chere; you were not here; | was told by a maid that you were gone.

“Which maid?”

“I don’t know her name; I'll barely recognize her if | do see her again.”

Mother inhaled deeply. “Yes, | left the pack.”

“Why, why would you go without informing me? | had been so worried; how could you do this? | was about to talk

to Thane so he could help...”

“No. Don’t tell him anything.” She snapped. Before inhaling and running a hand through her hair | noticed her

hands were a bit... shaky.

“What's going on? You are acting all weird. | had expected an explanation, not this.”

“I was gone, and now I'm back; that’s all there is to say,” she answers, but | noticed the slight

flinch.

“You are... injured?”

Just then a knock on the door interrupted us.

“What did you do, mother?”

“Quick, leave; | would explain later.”

“But the injury...”

“I've had worse; I'll take it,” she says and literally shovesout of the room.
