“You did not hide. You did not show fear. That is strength.” I looked down at my hands. “It did not feel like strength.” “What did it feel like?” I let out a breath I didn’t realise I had been holding. “Like I was held together by a thread.” Kael’s expression shifted slightly.

Maybe it's also about letting someone stand with you." My wolf practically purred with satisfaction. This was what I'd been hoping for, what I'd been working toward since the moment I'd realized Grace had become someone extraordinary. Not forgiveness granted out of weakness or nostalgia, but a conscious choice made from a position of strength. "So what are you saying?" I asked, needing to hear her spell it out clearly.

I understand that now. I need to be in control if I’m going to use the rage. In my mind, I pick up the hammer, but I’m not ready to use it yet. Soon though. I can feel it. This is a time for strength.

He said mockingly. "Hahaha, sounds funny to me, hey that wasn't my question though!"
