Gina's brows furrowed immediately, suspicion flaring in her sharp eyes. "Why? What are you planning, Athena?"
Athena squared her shoulders, meeting them both head on. "I'm going to see if I can help him. No more delays… the more we wait, the more we lose the chance to save him."
Sarah's eyes widened at Athena's demand. She shot up from the bench, her hands wringing together nervously. "Athena… you don't understand. If you go near him… if you even breathe the same air…" Her voice trembled. "I can't risk losing you too."
How to tell Sarah that this disease will never affect her… because she's not a werewolf.
Athena softened, but she didn't falter. She stepped closer and placed her hands gently on Sarah's shoulders. "Sarah, I'm not rushing in blind. I know it's dangerous but I can't ignore this. He deserves a chance… and you deserve hope."
