Blessed

Shane

Fury blossomed beneath my veins and I roared my rage to the heavens as I stood above the bodies. There had been no other choice, no other way, no other path I could have taken but it still rattled me. Emotion bubbled in my chest and threatened to make my eyes water and pull me to my knees. I refused to cry and I stifled the thought to cry for the lives I’d taken tonight.

The Goddess had blessed my path and I couldn’t stray from it, even if I had wanted to. Earlier, I had set out with my men with the intention of killing my father and taking back what was rightfully mine. I’d been denied my birthright for far too long and I couldn’t let another day go by. I deserved my pack, I deserved my queen, I deserved my family, I needed it. My actions here proved I’d do anything to get what I wanted. Nothing would come in the way of me getting it back.
