Every aspect about Sparrow and Night's lives have always been carefully controlled. At birth, you are presented with a miniature hourglass pendant, and the rules are simple: live until the sand runs out, obey the Queen's laws, and stay quiet. Sparrow has accepted her fate. Her hourglass is running dry, and there's nothing she can do about it. But that doesn't stop her from hearing the whispers washing through her rustic village. Strange tales of magic and warfare plague her town like a clan of rats -- spreading and existing, just visible in the corner of your eye. But rats are vermin, a pest that can eat away at a whole country before being discovered. And the Palace is infested.

| MMRM | My Mate, Remember Me
***Please read my message on November 12, 2019 (if you can) for enlightenment purposes*** "Who are you?" A certain Luna asked. "Tell me, why do I feel like this?" The Alpha in front of her just stayed frozen. "Why do you make me feel so....pained?" The Luna questioned as her hands slightly trembled. "You have suffered because of me. I deserve to be punished but please," He said as he tried to approach her. The Luna watched him in disbelief as the man embraced her tightly in his arms. "Please let me hold you in my arms, even if its just for awhile, even if its just for today. Please..." He begged as tears fell down from his face. 'If I tell her that she's my mate, then I will lose the right to remain by her side.' The Alpha firmly said inside his mind. 'Please, just let me stay while I can, because once she remembers me - I will have to leave.' ※◎※◎※◎※◎※◎-※◎※◎※◎※◎※◎ This book is a work of fiction. The cliche: "Alpha rejects his mate and regrets it once he sees her." WARNING: Over-used plot and plot holes. I just had to write it. *laughs* #MMRM ©Itwasonlyadream801 [Aleana Dela Cruz]Complete
