Annabella listened closely, and it all did indeed seem to make since. It explained why the the little girl had wolf ears and why the alpha wolf had been so protective over her. She frowned for a moment through and then looked up at the man and woman before her, "I understand. Most of it makes since. But....there is one thing that confuses me. If...if you all have been trying so hard to keep yourselves hidden from humans...then why allow me to come here? Wouldn't it have been smarter and safer to either kill me when you saw me, or just let me die in the snow instead of bringing me here?" She asked, looking at the alpha and his human mate, wondering slightly how these 'human mates' had even found the wolves. Had most of them just happened to come across them in the forests as she had, or had the wolves gone to the town in their human forms? Though, she supposed she could ask about that later. Right now, she just wanted to know why she was still alive is she could very well be a threat to them, especially with her attending the college that had, as she was told, killed some of their kind.

Conner smiled back when he saw that smile on her face and the look in her eyes, and chuckled, "Well that's a damn shame, isn't it? You would think more people would believe you. After all, you were there when it happened." He looked down at the scare and tilted his head to the side frowning, "That looks like a dog bite. Did the killers have a dog with them or something?" He asked, looking back to her, a confused look on his face. It wasn't much normal for murders to have dogs with him, though he supposed if they were attack dogs, then it might make sense.
