Chapter 338

Hotah may look another couple years older. There’s a reason you didn’t know about werewolves. It’s a secret. How long will it be a secret if the people you hang out with don’t age like everyone else and you do?

She only looks a couple years older than her son. She’ll be introduced as a friend of the family, and she’ll need to disappear out of her grandchild’s life before the fact she’s not getting old like everyone else becomes apparent, even to a child.
