Raised by Wolves (Sinister Series 1.70)
I allowed myself a fragile hope. Inside Vico's arms, I told him he would avenge my monsters, that though I would order the deaths, I would never commit them. But they broke me, reached deep inside my heart, and made it black. Made the rage build inside me until it equaled the pain... but all that rage has to go somewhere. It demanded to consume something... I staved off this evil for years. I know cruelty more than anyone. Being raised by wolves and living to adulthood means I beat the odds. But it is no longer enough.
I know I do this for my Pack. To protect them, I must remove the evil at our door. But they speak in my head, and it is different now. The wolves are the quiet, and now I am the storm. They swear nothing I could do could make them hate me, but I was raised in hatred... what if that is inside me. What if it lay in wait, and now that is all I can ever be? A monster.
