Born of Blood is just... shot through my heart. Love your storytelling, and the way you describe Scarlet’s pain— it’s so heartwrenching.
I especially love that you’ve shown how complicated the healing process is, how complicated trauma is. Looking forward to see Scarlet’s healing journey, and how she will take the control&power which had been taken away from her by her abusers (and yes, how she will slaughter them all~),
also...
the relationship between Scarlet & Orion. I mean, Orion probably has his own idea of having a mate, just like he had mentioned how he had “idolized” her before, meanwhile Scarlet doesn’t want a mate, which in her mind is another “shackle” and also a source of her trauma, and simply wants to be free. They barely know each other, have different values&believes, and both harboring their own trauma.... i can’t imagine how tough it will be for them. I wonder how their relationship goes, how they can see and connect with each other (or if they ever will)....
In short, really looking forward with your story! (sorry for the long fangirling). But I don’t mean to pressure you, just take your time, and write in your own pace, hope you’re healthy and well:)
And thank you for writing Born of Blood!!
