Jayden stood there with a conflicted look, lost in thought. His mind was a storm, what Miss Kate had just revealed left him reeling. He was in shock, trying to wrap his head around it. The fact that he could become a murderous, rampaging lycan if he ever lost control.
But there was something else, something tugging at his memory. And suddenly, it struck him. His eyes widened as the pieces clicked. He turned to Miss Kate hastily.
"Wait… but on the night of my first transformation, I went straight for the forest to fight beasts. Not humans." he claimed.
Miss Kate exhaled softly, her expression tinged with that knowing look she always carried, like she had seen this puzzle before and already solved it. "Well," she began gently, "Earlier that day, didn't you have a scuffle with that boy in the school bathroom?"
Jayden froze. His heart skipped.
