Chapter 61
A werewolf
“Roxanne… You are a werewolf…”
As Melissa said those words Roxanne felt a loud bang in her head. Her ears became hot and a
slight pain began to emanate from her chest. She was hearing the words directly from her mother, yet
she didn’t want to ept it.
“N-No… That is… That’s not true! Grandma, that’s not true, is it?” Roxanne said, turning to Linda,
desperate for answers.
“I’m sorry dear… But your mother speaks the truth.” Linda answered.
Hearing her grandmother say the same thing made her heart throb even more with a painful
sensation that was foreign to her. This was crazy, it had to be. But, after everything she had seen…
Was it actually all real? Was she truly a… A.. A Werewolf?!
“I''m sorry I kept it from you all this time. Your father and I decided on it several years ago after we
had you. We decided to live our lives away from the pack, and just be a normal, happy couple. You
see, Roxanne… Your father and I belonged to different packs at the time, and they were not unified.
That’s why our union was not epted by our respective packs. We decided to move to a different
ce to start over. And then when we had you… Our joy knew no bounds. But we knew, raising you as
a human, without the environment of the pack, you had to be human.
“I’m sorry Roxanne. Your father and I lied to you all these years, but we did it because we just
wanted you to be happy… To live your life without all the craziness of being who we are…” Melissa
said as tears dripped from her eyes and her voice broke into sobs.
Roxanne was left speechless. All her life… She always knew she was different. Of course, not in
the aspect of supernatural phenomena or anything of the sort, but she could feel it in her bones. Unlike
other girls, she had an intense interest in sports and physical activities. Her strength, speed, stamina
and concentration was just iparable to others, even as a child. Her blue hair and eyes also made
her stand out, but all those things didn’t bother her much. Her parents were there for her and they
always made her feel special. On a few asions, when her curiosity reached its limits, she would ask
her father a question.

“Daddy, why am I different from others?”
Her father would smile at her every time and tell her that everyone was different from one another.
“See Jade? She has freckles all over her nose. Do you have freckles Roxanne?” Her father would
ask.
“Oh,e on dad, don’t be silly. Of course I don’t “ She would answer.
“What about Paul? He has that huge build. Are you huge like he is?” He would ask again.
She would tell him, ‘obviously not''!
He would ask her strings of questions involving her ssmates, her neighbours, her friends and
ask the same questions. And every time, she would respond with ‘No’
“See, Roxanne? Everyone has something the other doesn’t have… That’s what makes us unique
and special. You have something they don’t and they have something you don’t” He would say.
“But dad… Jade and Nina both have freckles, and a lot of people like Paul have huge bodies… But
why am I the only one who doesn’t have anyone else like me?” She would ask again, unsure of her
father’s words.
But he always had an answer for everything.
“Don''t worry Roxanne. I’m sure somewhere out in the world there are people like you… You just
haven’t met them yet.” He always said,
And now, here she was… Standing in a ce filled with them. She was a Werewolf and now she
was surrounded by people like her. Her mother trembled as her hands shook on her shoulders.
Roxanne watched as her mother sobbed in regret and pain. Did her mother think she was angry?
“Mom… It’s okay. I-I get it…” Roxanne said, holding her mother’s shaky hands as she brought
them down from her shoulders.
Melissa looked at Roxanne with shock as she saw Roxanne smiling softly.
