Alpha Step Daddy : Four Mates, One heart
"The First Queen didn't die when she sealed the Hunger. But she was never the same. She forgot the smell of the rain. She forgot the sound of her children’s laughter. The Essence takes the things that make you human or wolf so that it can fuel the light."
I looked at my hands. They were steady, even if my heart wasn't. "If the alternative is everyone being eaten by a shadow that hates light, it’s a fair trade, Merek."
"You are young," Merek whispered. "To you, memories are just things in the past. To an immortal, memories are the only thing we truly own."
"I have Dominic and you all," I said firmly. "All of you will help me remember."
Merek finally looked at me, a sad smile on his pale face.
