shifters, and that there were other nasty things.
    Her heart felt like it was breaking. She longed for
Savron, which was just weird, because she hadn’t spent that much time with him.
Sasha was scared. She didn’t like how she felt, and she didn’t know if she
wanted to fall in love with a man who could turn into an animal.
    Tonight though, her dancing girlfriends had begged
her to come out clubbing with them. She told them she’d see how she felt.
    A knock on her bedroom door startled her out of her
brooding. She looked up to see her mum. Sasha smiled and waved her in.
    “What’s wrong, honey? The last couple of weeks
you’ve been in your room sulking.”
    “I’m fine, Mum. I went to dancing.”
    “I know you went to dancing.   You love dancing. I think you could be dying
and on your last leg and you’d still go to dancing. What I want to know is what
else is going on?”
    “I don’t know where to start.” She didn’t. Sasha was
unsure of what she was allowed to say, and if she told her mum without proof
like she’d been shown her mum would think she was crazy like Sasha had thought until
she’d been shown.   
    “Why don’t you start at the start?” Her mother sat
up against the wall on her bed and patted her lap. Moving down, Sasha lay on
her mum’s lap.
    “I guess reality has come crashing down finally. I
learnt the world is different. It’s been a big move to America, and I’m happy
for you, Mum. Steve is a really nice guy. You’re perfect for each other. But
the move for me has made me realize how different everything is. If we still
lived in Australia I would be over halfway through year twelve. Here they start
their new year in June, not like the start of the year.”
    “I’m sorry, Sasha.”
    “No, Mum, don’t apologize. I loved the couple of
months I had off. It was fun exploring, and I had some fun with Melody.” Great, Sasha thought. She was stuffing
this up. She didn’t want to make her mum feel guiltier than she knew she
already felt. She needed to get what she wanted out even if it didn’t make
sense.
    “What if I was to tell you I learnt that some people
I was coming to love had lied to me and weren’t the people I thought them to
be. They aren’t bad. They are good, and they protect the world.” Sasha left out
that they were shifters and they fought bad mythical creatures.
    “That’s a tough one, honey. What was the reason they
lied to you in the first place? Was it to protect you? Where they afraid of how
you would react and treat them after? Did they feel you knowing would put you
in danger? Or was this all just to keep you ignorant and in the dark? Ask
yourself what would you have done in their shoes?”
    Wow, when her mum put it like that it made her feel
that maybe she’d overreacted. So, shifters existed. Sasha thought of the
selfish way she’d acted the last couple of days, weeks even, and knew they were
right to keep what they’d told and shown her a secret. The Pride family had
been nothing but nice to her, and she’d been self-absorbed. Sasha knew she had
to call and apologize. She also needed to find out what being a mate as Savron
had said entailed. Because she knew she’d only been told the basics
      She gave her
mum a big hug. “ Thanks, Mum. I don’t know what I’d do
without you.”
    Her mother kissed her cheek. “I hope you never have
to find out. And no matter what age you are I hope you know you can always come
and talk to me.”
    Sasha squeezed her mum tighter, and her phone
buzzed.
    “You going to talk to whoever that is, or you going
to stay and think things over some more?”
    Sasha checked her phone to see it was her dance
friends. They were checking seeing if she was going out with them, and if so, did
she want one of them to come and pick her up. “It’s my dancing friends. They want
me to come out with them tonight.”
    “You should go. Get out of the house and have some
fun. You just turned eighteen, go.” Her mum got off the
