Anais could not hear the conversation going on around her. She knew Emily was speaking but she had no idea what the woman was saying. Was Draven talking now? She wasn¡¯t sure. She couldn¡¯t think¡she couldn¡¯t hear¡Were¡the woman said were¡was she Were? They said she was were. Did Draven know? Of course he knew. Did the twins know¡Drusilla? Her brothers? Her father?
Were¡she was Were. Damn them! They all knew! Every single solidarity one of them knew. She was Were. And they never said a word. God! How could they! How dare them! Draven said he loved her and he never said a word. She had always been so transparent with him. She told Draven that her father had never shared anything about her heritage with her. ?And he never¡said a word. She was Were¡.Damn him! Damn them! Damn them all!
¡°Of course,¡± Anais said standing, Slowly she walked before Draven. She did not take his hand. Nor did she go upstairs to their room. She moved towards the front of the house walking right out the front door.
(Draven) Draven stopped just short of the stairs as he stood and watched Anais walk out of the place.? He glanced back at the group, then decided to follow her to see if she wanted him to come with her.? Once outside, "Anais, where are you going?"? He followed her as he wondered what to say.? He was waiting for her to turn around and explode on him, yelling at him about her not knowing what had been revealed.? He had told the twins that he would tell her when he felt it was the right time, and now he had waited too long.? Someone else had made mention of it in a casual conversation.? "That wasn't how you were supposed to learn about it." He said quietly behind her.
