Chapter 4 (Amanda's POV)

(Amanda's POV)

Jeff is a hunter. He is not just a man who makes a living by hunting. The hunters I am talking about here are a group of people. They are another pack's mortal enemy-werewolves. I knew this before I married him. Later I gave birth to my daughter, she was very cute. Her blonde hair is soft and fluffy, and I really liked her big blue eyes because her eyes were very similar to mine. Together, Jeff and I named our daughter, Ellen. Later, Ellen grew up, and she liked playing in the forest. I often told her some stories about the forest in the rocking chair, and she was very interested. Sometimes she would ask me what was in the forest. I replied that there were trees, flowers, birds, deer, squirrels, wolves, lions, and many other animals. Some of them are cute and some are fierce. Ellen asked again, would the wolf eat me? I was stunned, her innocent eyes looked at me, as if I could not lie. "Mom, mom?" She shook my arm and pulled me back to reality. I smiled and said to her, "My dear, no, as long as you don't provoke them, they won't hurt you." At the same time, I warned her not to run into the deep forest by herself, because the more mysterious the place is, the more dangerous it is. Ellen nodded ignorantly. I knew she didn't fully understand what I was saying, but my good girl would not go against my will. She knew that I was doing her good.

Watching Ellen grow up healthily day by day, I feel extremely happy, as if my wish has really come true. Later I got pregnant again, and Jeff happily said to me that our daughter will not be alone! I smiled to him. Jeff also said that whether it is a boy or a girl, he or she will become the closest friend to Ellen. I nodded and put our hands on my stomach together.

The next day, Ellen was washing her face, and then I heard her calling me. I was preparing the ingredients for dinner in the kitchen. Today is Jeff's birthday. I am going to make a big meal, and I also prepared a gift. When he came home, I planned to give him a surprise. I put down the things in my hand, rubbed the drops of water on my apron, and then went to my daughter's room.

"Ellen, what's the matter?" I knocked on the bathroom door in her room. "Mom, can you come in for a while?" I felt a little strange, and then opened the door and walked in. Ellen looked at herself in the mirror with a puzzled look. "What happened?" "Mom, my hair is knotted, it looks so ugly." What she said made me laugh, and my daughter already knew how to care about her image. "Don't laugh! Mom!" She looked a little angry, but I looked at her bulging face and thought my daughter was cuter. "Sorry, dear. You know I am definitely not laughing at you, I am just happy that my daughter has grown up!" I said earnestly to her. "Okay, Mom. Then you help me deal with the knotted hair, it's too ugly." I smiled and nodded, picking up the comb and helped her get her hair. She pointed to the knot in her hair and said, "Here, Mom. I can't reach this place."

The comb in my hand fell to the ground, red hair. Why does my daughter got red hair? Why? The red hair stung my eyes like blood. Impossible, this is impossible! "Mom, mom! Did you hear what I said?" I recovered from panic, but my heartbeat was so fast that I even felt like I was going to throw up. "Sorry baby, I was thinking about something just now. The knots in your hair are not easy to deal with. I'll go and get the scissors to cut this bit off." "No! Mom! You can't do that! That's my hair." It will become ugly!" Ellen's voice sounded almost crying. I soothed her and said, "Trust Mom, baby. I will definitely make your hair beautiful!" Hearing my promise, Ellen stopped sobbing, "I'll get the scissors, you're here to wait for me" Ellen nodded. On my way to the kitchen to get the scissors, I couldn't help myself crying. Why? Why did I see red hair? Why was this happening? Why did I still not escape the arrangements of fate! I felt that I was breaking down little by little, and I tried my best to control my emotions. My hand holding the scissors had been trembling, calm down! Calm down Amanda! No one will know that! Only you! If you keep this secret in your heart, no one will get a chance to know it.

I came to Ellen, picked up her red hair, and cut it quickly. The hair fell to the ground-dazzling red, it's really dazzling. I picked up the hair on the ground as quickly as possible and threw it into the toilet and washed it away. Ellen seemed to see that I was not quite right, she walked over and took my hand, "Mom, what's wrong with you?" "I'm fine, dear. Mom will put a bow on you so that your hair will look better." Speaking to my daughter, I picked up the red bow on the dressing table and fixed it to the position where the hair was just cut off. Then I took Ellen to the mirror, pointed at her in the mirror and said, "Look, you are so beautiful, my little princess!" Ellen smiled happily, "Thank you mom!" I could only smile to hide my deep panic. God, I beg you to bless my daughter , PLEASE.
