Chapter 58: A Reason to Run
The following morning, Sesshoume fled the shrine with her husband’s bow.
All night, Kagomaru had mumbled sleepy promises punctuated by poorly-aimed kisses. And she’d let him. Worse, her treacherous instincts had reveled in his clumsy attentions.
Running cooled the wash of shame that burned across Sesshoume’s cheeks.
Catching a promising scent, her focus sharpened. The meat wouldn’t be for him, nor for the doe-eyed lady. But perhaps her pup would gain strength by its sister’s skill.
Sesshoume closed in, but howls rent the dawn. A thin scream followed.
Her prey leapt away, and Sesshoume ran… but not after the deer.

Hello!
Did you perhaps mean “thick” for “thick scream”? Just something small I noticed. Keep up the good work! 🙂
Yours always,

Thin for Rin, a child could produce a thin scream 😉 maybe run will be a boy or twin girls?
