Chapter 23

  Wesley

  I read somewhere that love is patient;love is kind.It doesn’t boast or brag.There is no arrogance in love;it’s never rude or self-absorbed.It doesn’t tally wrongs.It trusts,hopes,endures,and lasts an entire lifetime.

  That’s why I promised Mirelle forever.On our wedding day,I kissed her and said I would never love another woman.If she died before me,then I wouldn’t find someone new.I told her I would live a lonely life until the day I could finally join her in heaven or wherever our souls go after death.

  ...so why have I fallen in love with someone else?

  Pain shoots through me when I glance down at Lily’s sleeping face.Blankets surround her,and when I stroke her head,she releases a pleased sigh.Her face is contorted in happiness,and suddenly my chest feels so tight that I can barely breathe.

  What is the meaning behind being given a second chance mate?What on earth was the moon goddess thinking?
