gI miss mine too . . . I always wanted to have a big family, but it seems everythingfs screaming at me not to have that. That I canft. Itfs hard enough to find someone who cares for me. Let alone be lucky enough to find another woman like Persephone. Ah, uh . . . my childrenfs mother, my past mate. She died in childbirth. I had finally found someone who wanted a family with me, who was loyal, and I watched her die as she brought my children into the world that we had wanted so badly-even worse I lost most of them.h Irina made a noise of sympathy.
gIfm sorry, Alistair. Thatfs no good deal.h
His pelt began to shift-it was more beautiful than the stars, more beautiful than the galaxy. Irina caught her breath. gQueen Irina, I may not think itfs ideal for us to fight a war with so little chance as a pack, but I will promise you that no matter the odds-I will follow you into any battle. And if youfd ever do me the honor, should I fall on this upcoming day of war, I would like to be your mate. I donft wish to be a king, however. Ifm not the type for it. But if I die, Ifd like to die knowing I was important to someone.h
Irinafs heart stuttered. She was silent for one second, two. Then she spoke. gAlistair, I would love to be your mate. And Ifm sure your mate and your children thought you were important; I canft imagine how they wouldnft.h She moved closer. gIt wasnft your fault they died.h
