"There is no beauty without some strangeness." ~Edgar Allen Poe
Have you ever wondered why the most beautiful things are the most fragile? Why the leaves turn brilliant shades of red, than tumble to the floor? Why the sunsets fade in seconds, but the dark lasts for hours? Why the moon is only up when you sleep? I've grown up knowing that looking different, being beautiful, is a death sentence.
Elena was no stranger to beauty. Growing up in the kingdom of Alyra, she had learned to admire the small colorful treasures found in the leaves of autumn trees, the small weeds that occasionally spring up along the gray concrete walls of her living compound. When everything around her is gray and brown, she saw the beauty in the indistinguishable brown eyes that surrounded her. But she, like all other children, know that beauty is different, and different is dangerous. After all, if your eyes weren't brown, you'd never see light again.

| 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
