THE WOLFS HEART BEAT

IX – FRIE

If you don't trust me or think I may be one of them, I don't blame you. You're just scared. I'll help you get out of detention.

He looked pretty rough. By the time he could raise his head, Maya had sauntered out of the room.Maya was the child her real mother never needed.; the evidence of her mistake.
