Chapter 68: Unexpected Revelations
“Oh my god, Hazel!” Sophia exclaimed, rushing forward to hug me. “We heard what happened at the mall. Are you okay?”
I winced slightly at the pressure against my injured arm but returned her hug with my good arm. “I’m okay. Just a few scratches that are already healing.”
Callum followed Sophia into my room, his face etched with concern. “Annie Williams attacked you? In public? That’s insane.”
“Tell me about it,” I sighed, moving to sit on the edge of the bed. My body still felt tired from the healing process. “It happened so fast. She just shifted right there in the mall and lunged at me.”
“Everyone’s talking about it,” Sophia said, sitting beside me. “And how the triplets put her in the cells immediately. Her dad too, from what I heard.”
“Just Annie’s in the cells,” I clarified. “Samuel was just removed from his position for defending her actions.”
Callum leaned against the wall, arms crossed. “About time someone stood up to that family. Annie’s been horrible for years.”
“Have you heard anything else?” I asked, curious about how the news was spreading through the pack.
Sophia nodded. “Kira and Melanie are absolutely horrified. I saw them at the coffee shop earlier.”
I raised an eyebrow. “I didn’t know that you’re friends with Kira and Melanie.”
A strange look passed between Sophia and Callum. She fidgeted with the hem of her shirt, suddenly uncomfortable.
