Letting Go

I had watched her try to kill herself so many times… too many times.

I had shown mercy to my mate's mother and had allowed her soul to be returned to the Goddess and her mate, but the idea of doing the same to my own mother was too much to swallow.

The words tumbled from my mouth before I could stop them. I knew I was stalling, but I did it anyway. I wanted a mother who would have stayed for me.
