*I'd recommend reading a Mother's Sacrifice in the Shorts book to have a better background* 10,000 years... 10,000 years was all it took for Lena's life to turn into a living Hell. She was forced to watch her sadistic late husband murder her soulmate. And then she was subjected to life under his rule for millennia. Now with him dead and observing her children find happiness and build their own families, it's time for Lena to find her happiness. However, she would have never expected her happiness to manifest in this particular person.
