It sounded insane, but within a few short months, Leigh had become the center of my universe. How could I keep on rotating as if nothing changed when the sun winked out in the middle of my sky?
There has to be another way.
I hung on to that thought, clutched it like a lifeline.

Fuck that. f**k the Goddess’s plans. f**k it all that gave me the gift of a mate and a child, and then ripped them away from me before we even got the chance to live.
Fuck it all to
