Lillian

"Bianca... Where the hell are my clothes?"

She paused for a moment, an amused smirk flashing across her face before her expression turned sombre again.

"Xavier found you in the forest Lil," the siren hesitantly begins. "You were covered in blood and ice cold."

Ice cold?

That should be impossible, I'm a dragon for god's sake. We practically run a fever 24/7.

"Lilly, did something happen." Bianca whispers and the paintbrush stops. Xavier is still hidden behind the curtain covering half the space and I glance to the open side, looking at the small candle.

What do they mean?

"If you want Xavier can leave." Bee whispers, voice soothing as the sound of hasty packing echoes through the room.

You were found naked, covered in blood and fearfully trying to escape a man

Yeah that's not going to look good. I swallow heavily, thinking back to what Sebastian did. What he had said and what I did in retaliation.

"It's okay," I murmur comfortingly but I hear the door to the shed and close swiftly, "Nothing happened."

"Nothing?" Bianca arches a disbelieving brow. "That was a lot of blood I wiped off you for nothing."

"I- I think," my stomach rolls at the thought, unable to accept what I did. "I think I killed something."

"Something." Bianca prompts.

"A- a wolf. A Dire wolf."

"A dire wolf?" She demands and I wince at her agitation. "When the council hears of this-"

"I know. I know." I mutter, tightening the jacket around me. "Dire wolves are sacred to the werewolves, there will be consequences if they find out."

"Severe consequences after what happened." Bianca reminds me and we both pause, our minds drifting back to last year.

"I met her." I frown in confusion and Bee rolls her eyes. "You're sister, Wednesday."
She seems to savour the way my sister's name falls off her tongue, dragging out the sound as she reads my expressions.

"She was exactly as you described." An amused snort escapes Bianca before she can stop the undignified noise and I can't stop my smirk of amusement. She scoffs and swats my arm before calming down again. "What happened last night, lily? The full story this time."

I swallow heavily, pausing at her question to think over my words.

"I remember the plant, the gift from Miss Thornhill. Then everything went black and from there on it's just flashes, emotions..." I feel my brows in confusion as I think back to last night. "I was hunting. No- not at first. There was this instinct to find something, to track it down and- I don't know what but I needed it and then I saw the deer. It was beautiful but far too vulnerable to provide a decent hunt. That's when I saw the Dire wolf stalking it. From there it's all just... blood."
