“Life ... is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.”
― William Shakespeare, Macbeth
This quote signifies Karleen Jacobs life, to the point of having it printed out and pasted on her wall to remind her daily of the loss she’s been through. In her eyes life has no purpose anymore, it’s an ugly time that’s been forced upon her, where existing or not doesn’t matter any longer. Life is of no significance, as she had to learn early, because it can be taken away in the blink of an eye.
Having lost her parent’s to a car accident, Karleen is living with her uncle and is a fresh high school graduate, that’s not planning to go to college. But when she’s offered an opportunity to justify her parent’s death, and ease her troubled mind she takes it up immediately, after all it has been bothering her for years whom her parents were going out to meet, who the cause of their death was.
Trying to find that person takes Karleen out on a scavenger hunt all over New York, forcing her to make friendships and enjoy life once again, teaching her the true worth of being alive.

| 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
