Chapter 17: Doomed by Compassion
Kagomaru’s explanation rambled, but the Western Lord was used to making people nervous. He listened in grim silence until the boy concluded, “So I released the seal. She left shortly after sunrise.”
“Seal?”
“Yes, sir. It was an accident.”
The inuyoukai’s interest was piqued. “You have power?”
“Erm… some,” Kagomaru humbly admitted.
“Which means you conquered my daughter… and she let you live?”
“She did,” he replied, briefly touching his throat.
The inuyoukai sheathed his sword with a smirk. “Very well. Show me your home, your family. I wish to know more before passing judgment.”
“On me?”
“On my daughter.”

Really enjoying the story so far! Its easy to fall out of it though, since the pace for updates are so slow (as a fellow writer, I understand the time these things take!) Which it could be updated more frequently, but I know you have a lot of other work to complete and all that jazz. Still, love your work!

While I understand wanting more, this is a pace I can maintain. It’s not much, but it gives everyone a reason to check back from time to time. ::twinkle::
