Chapter 13 Being Doomed

• I take a step back until my butt hits the edge of the fountain at the entrance of our house, and that's when I become human, wishing that as a human, my scent is not noticeable.
• Timidly, I approach my mother, holding my breath in my lungs, hoping that will be enough to prevent whatever gives away that I'm pregnant, something I'm not exactly sure of, from appearing.
• My mother kisses me three times as we usually do and hugs me tightly, while the men in my family watch us with smiles. My mother has always been surrounded by men, until ten years after having her twin sons, she had me.
