He was gone. Anthony was gone. Murdered by some prick punks of some elitist family of swans. Anthony was dead and there was nothing that was going to bring him back. Murana was enraged when she heard the news of his point-blank decapitation at the barrel end of a shotgun that ended his career in the police force - all because those punks did not want to get a ticket and have to run home to mommy and daddy to say they had done wrong, tarnishing their family's good name. On top of it all, the trial of their sentencing was a farce. Let off on minimal jail time and community service? For a freaking murder of a cop?! Her rage bubbled and swirled inside of her, darkening her heart and clouding her mind.
For the longest time, Murana had left her past self behind - the part of her that was bruised, battered and broken, filled with hatred and vengeance. She tried to put herself back on the right path and work cooperatively alongside the Zabokar Police Department, first as their forced-into-employ Confidential Informant, and then as one of them, a sister-in-arms. She performed with outstanding integrity and exemplary service. She had finally felt free from the shackles of her abused and tortured past that had cast a pall on her life and her future. Having a family, a loving husband and finally a daughter born out of a womb remade settled her heart and freed her spirit.
Now all that was destroyed. Annihilated along with the remains of Anthony's head splattered across the pavement with nary a single ounce of justice to cry in his defense. The killers were roaming free with but a smack on the wrist, leaving her family a disastrous mess. Didn't Anthony deserve justice? He shouldn't have had to die for just doing his job of stopping a truck going way too fast in a residential area. Just because they were birds and their family was affluent and important did not mean they had the privilege of getting off scot free of murder.
Without thinking, she yanked out the bag hidden at the top of her closet shelf behind all her old family photos and slammed it on the vanity, ripping open the zipper. She reached in and pulled out a suit of crimson and black. She stared hard at the suit of villainous past and began to tremble and cry. This wasn't her anymore. This is not the solution. She knew this. She made a promise to herself never to kill in this manner and motive again. However, her heart was tugging fiercely for her to right the wrongs that had been perpetuated on her family. Without a proper punishment, those bird punks would never amend their ways and with the way society was going, nobody would stop them should it happen again. It had to end tonight. She was tired of the world forcing their will upon her life where she could do little but watch it happen.
"Mom?" A timid voice called out behind her. "Aren't we going to Dad's funeral? We're going to be late."
Fighting back the tears damaging her calm, she sniffed, gently putting back the remnant of her violent past. "Yes, of course, Taylor. I just need a moment, please."
"Is.. is everything alright, Mommy?"
"No...not yet, hun... but it will be." She set her jaw in grim resolve, zipping up the bag.

I love the emotion behind your words. I can't imagine the pain and frustration murana is faced with right now. I can understand her need for revenge though, stovl would be out for blood if someone he loved was murdered is such a horrific way too. At the same time the conflict of her wanting to leave her past behind though must be hard.
If I may ask, "a womb rebuilt" would that possibly be the reason why Taylor was born with a tail maw?

After reading the story of Murana, it's kind of sad that she has to go through this. She worked hard to make her marriage with Anthony work despite the stress of being a vigilante and her refusal to tell about her past. Anthony, for his outbursts, loved Murana enough to try to understand her, even after learning she was a vigilante. With the truth in the open, the two of them compromised as cop and hero. They even got a child in Taylor after Anthony made it clear that he wanted his own child rather than adopted ones.
It's clear that Murana realized with the years that being the Dark Flame Wolf did nothing good for her personal life. It just reinforced her trauma and risked her life and present because of her inability to move on. Quitting must have been hard for Murana. Not only did she have to confront her inner demons, she also had to quit to a part of her where she had control over her life, for better or for worse.
She trusted Anthony and gave the judicial system another chance. It worked out at first, and then Anthony dies and the guilty party gets away with it. It's clear that Murana feels betrayed by the system she decided to trust again despite her early mistrust.
Also feel bad for Anthony. First he felt emasculated by Murana being the head of the house because of his job. His wife refused to share her past and with him and adopted a child behind his back. He finds out that she's a vigilante. But he eventually makes things work with Murana despite his flaws. They worked together in cases and had the biological child Anthony always wanted. Murana quits being the Dark Flame Wolf, putting her trust on Anthony. And then he dies with a gunshot that blows his head up. That's a sad and horrible end for Murana's husband considering the character development he had on the previous story.

Thanks. I loved a lot about the first book. I sympathized with Anthony because he was flawed yet still wanted to compromise to Murana to be a good husband and have a family. Him dying, not by a supervillain or an assassin of his wife's past, but by teenage criminals from a rich family feels like a tragic end to his story. He got Murana to abandon her identity as the Dark Flame Wolf and he got the daughter he wanted. And yet he died because he wanted to give a speeding ticket to someone. May he rest in peace.
