Damien's POV:
After Lorraine left, I went to take a bath and just laid down on my bed. I never thought it possible that I could ever have a chance at happiness. A Second Chance Mate! It was a myth until now. Second Chance mates hadn't been heard of in a very long time.
I only hope that she accepts me. I would make sure of that. I would do anything to have her by my side. Since I had found her, I would never let her go.
I slept off while thinking about this. Even in dreams, the only thing I could picture was her face. The attraction felt stronger than the one I had with my first mate. Maybe it was because I was lonely and my heart yearned for love.
I thought I had loved Lyra but maybe I just used her to feel the space I had in my heart. I won't abandon our mission though. I am a man of my word and I would ensure that we get the purple moonflower we came for and return safely.
Sometimes, life offers second chances, and it's up to us to embrace them with an open heart and mind. Love, happiness, and success can come in unexpected ways, and it's important to be receptive to new possibilities.
