" And I love you... Just don't do anything rash Akasha, please for my sake. I'd hate to see you as one of the souls that I have to help pass through the hall of Judgement." He let me go and gracefully steps back into his mold into the wall, going still..... ****** This is a strange story about how a young priestess, who finds her Mate in the Jackal god of all deaths.
