I woke up to a squeak near me, but jerking myself up chased it away.
"Lumin?!" I heard a loud whisper.
"Umbra?" I questioned getting to my feet.
"Keep your eyes shut, I am naked," she whispered. I realised she was the mouse I just heard. She is a shifter!
"Lumin. Listen to me. Even if you were a shifter, you can not let anyone know. Especially Prince Andre," she whispered.
"Tell me the truth. Are we related?" I asked again.
"Kill a snow owl," she compelled me.
"So I am a shifter? If I wasn't, you wouldn't have compelled me to ensure I don't shift when I do kill one because it won't count as free will," I snorted in disbelief.
"I don't know if you are," she said.
"Prince Andre is going to see all this when he drinks from me again," I informed her.
"Then don't let him drink from you," she whispered before I heard a mouse squeak.
