Faith in a Time of Fury by Athena Storm

I’m a Soldier of Hope.
I’ve been taught to kill, and even die, for peace.
But what if I want a chance to live for love?
a natural born killer.
A super soldier bathed in blood.
An incomparable alien legend, even in a time of beasts and brutes.
Who knew my fate would be altered by a tiny slip of a human woman?
This is the story of how my beloved mate made life worth living.
Her name is Arashi.
We met when I rescued her on the fields of battle.
I sought to teach her the dictates of war.
But alas, she taught me the ways of peace.
It was hard to learn. I resisted mastering it.
But then Arashi taught me one final lesson.
Loving a woman isn’t enough.
It never is.
You have to learn to trust them, too.
To dare to hope for the future.
If you can’t do that, then you’ll never really be able to be the man that they need you to be.
And thus, despite the furies of war…
I found my faith.
