Trust was a liberty that as Kumari, Bae could not afford, especially after the murder of Bae’s mother, the late Kumari.

The Kumari bloodline had to continue regardless of the cost, even if it was the life of someone she loved.

There were only two things that a Kumari should trust; magic and her seven mates.

Kumari's Kitsune

Bae was relieved to have arrived in Kumai and to see her soon to be mate alive and well, but it didn't change the fact that someone had attacked her suitors. The possessive anger she felt was palpable. She could feel it searing through her, as if carried on a current supplied by her magic.
