"What?" Phoenix asked, staring at me in disbelief.
"Are you being for real?" Soren asked, like he was trying to determine if I was joking or not.
"Yes," I said quietly. "I've used it… and it worked."
Jamie blinked, clearly caught off guard. "You've used it?"
"Yes," I repeated.
They both looked shocked. The expressions on their faces made it obvious they were struggling to process what I had just said, like the idea of me doing something like that didn't fit the image they had of me and I understood why they had that thought. I had never spoken up about what happened to me in my old pack.
I had never disclosed to them what brought me to Novaterra. I doubt they knew how I got here. I never spoke about it and this pack had accepted me with no issues even when I didn't tell them where I was coming from it what I was running from.
"It hurts a lot," I added honestly. "But it works."
Soren frowned slightly, stepping a little closer.
