Fraya
My heart pounds as I take in the army in front of me while I pray for the army behind me. I know what the cost of war are, and I have prepared myself for losing those I love, but at this moment I wish that Alexander had never found a way here, that Eleanor had never told me that she is pregnant while I must lead her mate into war. I wish Alexander had never met Shera, had never decided to cross that line and sleep with her, making it impossible for me to not worry about her and her unborn child. I wish I had never gone so far as to declare war.
I lift my arms, my power playing at my fingertips as I take a deep breath. This is it, this is the final step and there won’t be any turning back after this. One step and I will start losing friends and family. I heart pound as blood rushes
