Some short, some long, with years in-between as more souls turned to the Moon Goddess for a second chance. But the most important fact that you need to know is that I never forgot my first mate. I have had the pleasure of meeting him again in another life, but I never forgot him.” Alannah struggled to catch her breath after the latest contraction. “But you have had others?” Carly nodded. “Over my lifetimes I have had a handful that the Goddess paired me with.” “Doesn’t that hurt your other mates?” Carly smiled as she shook her head. “I love them all, differently. Love is not a finite resource that you have, pup.” She climbed onto the bed and shuffled over to the pair on the bed.
