Lyla
I’m changing. I can feel it. My monster had been dormant. It’s like a weight has been lifted from my body. I don’t feel the need to spill blood.
Watching Kellen fight had fed me. Letting him hold me while Conner fixed him up settled me. It wasn’t just Conner that kept my monster away.
Everyone was looking at me differently too. They were less cautious around me. I kind of liked it. I liked being able to laugh with my girl cousins, spar with my boy cousins without them being scared sh*tless. I felt like I was finally a part of the family instead of tolerated.
I knew my dad and mom would blister my ears if they knew that’s how I always felt. Maybe that’s why I spent most of my time at Domino’s instead of her at the clubhouse.
She was mine, I didn’t have to share her with anyon
