Marked In His Rut: The Alpha's Forgotten Omega
For some reason, I remembered Celestia singing a lullaby to me when I was little when she seldom visited me, which happened once or twice a year and it was always at breakfast or lunch then she was gone by evening.
"Hush now, little shadow, night is long but sweet. The stars will keep your burdens; now you're out of the street. Sleep, my gentle warrior, the dawn can come when it needs to be. Let the dreams embrace and comfort you, like an evening breeze. The waves may rage the following day but tonight I'll protect you, stay with me. Rest your head, my baby, dream of the peaceful sea, my little light."
I kept repeating the melody, my voice low in the quiet room. Something changed in me.
