"I'm sorry, I choke out taking comfort in his arms for the last time.

Mr. Phurry and I have been drinking buddies for a while now. I supposedly quit last month after I killed a group of rogues just outside the borderline of the city. It comes in waves. The urge to kill is followed by the grief I don't want to feel anymore. I'm only the best huntress on the force because I want anything and anyone to just f***g kill me already. But I've yet to meet the****le who to do it myself. 1

Fate hasn't granted me a single moment of peace in so long and I just want it to end. I'm not strong used to think that my mother was weak, but every time I stand in front of the mirror. Every time I have the opportunity to do it. I chicken out. And I think about her. I ask myself, what finally did it? What pushed her over that edge that I can't quite get over! I've asked the tombstone next to my father many times and I've expected an answer. One never contes.

I stare up at the ceiling all night unable to close my eyes. The blinding migraine sets in when the sun comes up. I can't remember the last time I ate or slept. Jacob lets me out in the morning after his shift and drives us both back to my house. In the driveway is a black SUV. One that belongs to the Alpha and I start begging the universe that Morgan doesn't come out of that thing to try and "fix" things. It's five years too late. Timothy Grant, the new official Beta steps out at the same time I do. I let out a sigh of relief.

1 shower and clean up as best I can. I'm dressed and in the back of the SUV with Jacob following behind.

I'm really sorry. Perry, Tim says from the front seat. He sent three of his strongest betas for me.

"What does he want? An execution? I didn't have to get pretty for that, Tim,"
