She sat on the floor of Asante’s apartment, staring at the ceiling, her mouth a thin line of anger as the blood flowed down her face. They took almost everything. They’d come back for the rest.

First they took Kyle from her. The only man she’s ever loved and turned him into an uncontrolled Beast. A monster. His misguided self hate and his faith in ( Read more... )

"You have always been such a free spirit but now you have taken on so many responsibilities. Why do you choose to carry the burden?"

The question had been nagging her ever sense he had asked it. Sure, she didn’t really choose to be the Priscus of her clan, they had all voted her in and she was proud to do it. She could have declined, she supposed, ( Read more... )
