I’m pissed at myself for the way I handled Alisa. I lost my temper when she accused me of not doing enough for the defenceless wolves in my pack. If only she knew how difficult it is to keep the peace, to keep the casualties to a minimum.
It’s impossible to protect everyone. There is only so much I can do before I start to attract attention. The law isn’t on my side, and despite my bluster, I still have to stay within the confines of the blood god's laws or Gabriel will have a case against me. I’m no good to anyone if I’m locked up in a dungeon… or dead.
My actions scared Alisa. I didn’t think. I just reacted. She held up a mirror, showing me my own weakness, and I hated it. I should have talked to her, explained my side, but it all sounds like justifications - even to my own ea
