I stood in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection like I was trying to see something that I hadn't noticed before.
My face was without a mask, and I was counting the holes that were scattered on my cheeks. Small ones, large ones.
Jai's magical salve did cure the burn marks on my back, but it could never cure my face. There were still worms that needed regular cleaning, or they would start eating the rest of my face.
It was no more about the way people looked at me. It was how they didn't want to glance my way. The way they used to pull their kids closer in my initial days of joining this pack had left a lasting impression on my heart.
I was trying to forget my past, but the way Luna Raya kept her kids away from me…
I sighed and leaned in a little closer, brushing a finger across my cheek, feeling the holes and uneven, patchy skin.
I was too engrossed in observing my pretty face when suddenly the door burst open without a single knock.
