Having delivered the Stone directly into Elder Kara's hands, Kendria and I stealthily ran back to the packhouse to clean up. My own Alpha ceremony was going to take place just before hers, and I wanted to be ready in every way. The only problem was, I was definitely not in the right headspace for what was to come.
I killed tonight. More than once. Yes, I knew it was necessary for the sake of our race to retrieve the Stone and keep it from Silas and whoever the mysterious person was that he was working with, but still. I had never killed anyone before. I trained in killing tactics with the Harvest Moon warriors, but the reality was that there were very few border skirmishes with rogues, and they usually ran off or were apprehended without resorting to death.
