Life had taken an unexpected turn for me. Initially, I was filled with fear when I found myself facing a death sentence, not by choice, but out of loyalty to my best friend. The uncertainty about my future was overwhelming, as I realized it wouldn't be a typical path. Then, there was Robert, someone who managed to earn my trust despite my cautious nature. Little did I know, he would become a pivotal figure in my life - almost causing harm, twice. During my unconscious moments, I encountered Rengoku, whose presence left an indelible mark. He called me his mate, a concept entirely foreign but powerful. Together, we embarked on a quest to unravel the mysteries of a world ravaged by a deadly virus, where people turned against each other, and sought a cure. Along the way, Rengoku added a personal mission: cleansing his realm from those who sought to corrupt it. In my two distinct lives, I vowed to stand strong and protect myself from the past. I learned the harsh truth that people's true colors often reveal themselves over time, and I vowed to defend myself if ever wronged. But above all, I refused to let love slip away like it had before, determined to hold onto it tightly.
