"How did you know that?!" I couldn't believe that he knew all this while, and he kept it from me.
"I saw it come at you!"
"Why didn't you do anything?! I was dying!"
"I couldn't. I just couldn't."
A scoff escaped my lips. "You couldn't or you didn't? Did you know about the fire too? You know what… Just forget about it."
My chest tightened as I turned and started walking away. Why was he pretending? I didn't even understand what was going on anymore.
But then, he said something that made me halt in my steps.
"I was bitten too!" He cried.
I turned back to look at him.
"I was also bitten." He looked really confused. "But, maybe not by a wolf, but I was also bitten by something when I was returning to help you out of the fire."
"Oh, Thane." I approached him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "We can walk through this together. Maybe we should find a quiet place to talk."
