“Dragomir knew he'd never given much thought to love. He'd thought about his lifemate often. He'd been obsessed with finding her for centuries, but he'd never considered what he would feel when he found her. Not love. Not this overwhelming, terrifying feeling that shook him to his core.

The child mind accepts and believes them, and only through great pain and perhaps tragedy can he be in after years relieved of them.
