He looked like he wanted to say something, but I didn't let him.Not yet.

"I love him," I said again, my voice breaking slightly."And you need to stop trying to pull us apart."

I took a breath, heart pounding.

"Now...stop stalling and just tell me the truth.Who exactly am I?"

CHAPTER 51

Liana's POV

"A werewolf."

I froze.

"A what?"

My dad looked straight into my eyes, and my heart dropped as soon as the words came out of his mouth."You're a werewolf, Liana."

I blinked, stunned."B-but...how?"I could barely form the words."I'm a human.all my life I've always believed I was a human."

He gave a slow nod, his face filled with regret."You are.But you're not fully human," he said quietly, like even he didn't want to hear himself say it."You're a werewolf too."

My knees felt weak.I staggered a little while looking at Killian, panic crawling into my voice."Of which pack?"I snapped."You mentioned you lead a pack, right?So am I a werewolf from your pack?Huh?Just make me understand, because right now it feels like my whole life has been a fucking lie.I don't even know what to think about myself anymore.I'm...I'm just lost.So tell me, which pack?"

I turned toward Killian, hoping, praying for something that would make sense."Killian, am I part of your pack?The one you lead?"

But it wasn't Killian who answered.

"No," my dad cut in, "Not his.It's a different pack."

I stared at him, my voice cracking."What pack?"

He didn't answer.

"That's all in the past," he muttered, looking away.

"The past?"I yelled, my whole chest tightening."What fucking past?Tell me everything I need to know about my life now.Who you really are...Are you also a werewolf?Huh?Dad, answer me!Who did I take it from?From Mom or from you?!"

My stepmom moved to calm me, placing a hand on my arm."Liana, please.Just calm down."

"No!Don't tell me to calm down!"I snapped, yanking away."I want answers.I need answers."

My dad sat down heavily on the armrest of the couch like the weight of my questions was suffocating him.His hands shook, and his eyes darted everywhere but toward mine.

"Was my mom a werewolf?Is that it?"

He hesitated.Looked down.Then muttered, "Yes."

I blinked."What?"

"Yes," he repeated slowly."She was...something like that."

"Something like that?"I said, nearly choking on my own disbelief."You're seriously doing this right now?'Something like that?'You either are or you're not!What the hell does that even mean?!"

He rubbed his temples hard."She was part of a pack...but I don't remember which one—"

"You don't remember?"I cut in, seething."You were married to her.You had a child with her.And you don't even remember her pack?"
