Chapter 14. Shock

Sarah

As we step into the apartment, I glance from Nate to Eleanor and back, waiting for their explanation.

“We are related – second cousins, I think,” Nate answers first, and Eleanor nods.

“What?” I ask as my face scrunches up in disbelief as the thoughts this means storm my brain, rapidly increasing my heartbeat. Beth always told me that Eleanor doesn't know anything about werewolves. But she knows Nate. Was she lying? 

“My mother and Nate’s mother are cousins,” Eleanor clarifies, glancing from Nate to me from a crouching position in front of Abby.

Words get stuck in my throat as I’m gaping for air. I turn around and step back to the corridor, closing the door behind me.

What the hell? It can’t be a coincidence that I won a scholarship to the same school Eleanor attended.

That means all my suspicions about the previous Alpha and Luna kicking me out of the pack could be true. They knew Eleanor’s mum. They are cousins.<
