~NARRATOR~

Rose stood by the window looking out as the town below was being picked up as best as it could. Men throwing away burnt rubble and making sure the fires were completely restrained.

Her hands clasped in front of her. Her face vulnerable as ever. She hadn't eaten in a few Days, She couldn't stomach food. Her skin was pale and light. Her under eyes Had dark circles.

Rose wore a Thin modest Night gown she had worn for almost a week now. It was Alessandra's. It was Strange to find something like this in her closet —the tags still upon it— when rose had went through it as she couldn't imagine Alessandra wearing something like this. But it smelled like her. Everything smelled like her.

Rose could barely be in the same room they both had shared for months on end. She could barely sleep—in fact she didn't sleep. When she did she dreamed of Alessandra. She dreamed of the knife that went through her heart.

The bedroom Door slowly creaked open with a small knock. Rose didn't turn around.
She knew it was probably Just Isabelle checking up on her or one of the maidens bringing her Daily Food. But When rose Heard that sweet motherly voice she gently turned around.

Her mother stood in the dark doorway. Her face solemn. The moon goddess looked at how pale and skinny her Daughter was. How her collar bone poked out and the skeletal look of her hands. She placed a hand to her mouth. She couldn't believe it was her daughter she was looking at and not her skeleton.

Rose took tiny steps towards her mother who had closed the Door behind her and walked deeper into the bedroom.

Rose hadn't cried since Alessandra died and that was over two weeks ago. When Rose saw her mothers face come into light she broke. Her mother was just what she needed.

"Mama" Rose cried. She would've fallen completely to her knees and cracked her knee caps completely if her mother wasn't there to catch her and slowly lower her down onto the Floor.

Rose Fell into her mother warm comfortable arms and sobbed uncontrollably. Her legs coming to her own chest.

Selene combed Her daughters Grey Hair with the palm of my hand "Shh my Darling" she whispered. Feeling her daughters Pain.

She understood her daughter. She understood what I felt like to loose someone closest to you, someone who you have a child with, someone who you love.

Selene's been through the pain of loss again and again. She lost her parents, Her siblings. but nothing Had compared to losing Her Lover and Her children.

Rose Weeped into Her mothers Arms. Her face completely wet and covered with her own tears. She could barely breathe.

The Grief was agonizing. She's never felt anything like it before. She wanted it to stop, she wanted to stop hurting. She wanted her Girlfriend back, her mate. She wanted Alessandra.

She thought of Alessandra one day Holding her and dropping down to one knee. holding out a Diamond ring and saying "𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐌𝐞"
Oh how the thought made her heart warm but break even more.

Rose Had Also thought of Herself Dropping Down onto Her knee in-front of Alessandra and asking her the Forever Question.  She thought of them having a family one day, with Alessandra's Child named Leon and maybe some adopted children and maybe... their own child from pregnancy they could have experience with each other. But that wasn't going to Happen now. Alessandra was gone, she was Dead. Murdered.

Rose looked up at her mother, version blurry "Mom I can't do it- It's too much" She grounded a fist into her chest where her broken Heart lay and clenched her teeth.
