My thoughts twist again to my father. He knew I was a Shadow Warrior, and I havent quite forgiven him for never confessing the truth. After reading Nalistas history, I understand that females dont necessarily change to their Beast like the men do, and there was no way my father or mother could have known I was a shifting female. And more weight falls on my mothers shoulders for raising me vegan. She knew it could hold back the change. Even Nalista mentioned it in her books. It was a common practice on the home planet. The females did not want their daughters turning as volatile as the male Warriors.
It still makes me wonder if she was ashamed of what we were.
I shake my head and move along. Thinking about my mother depresses me, and I need thoughts that will keep me awake.
