Stone Circle Will I ever be good enough?

Valette knew that Steph wasn't fond of Ezekiel. She could completely understand why. Valette didn't press on it to make her daughter change her mind. The female offered a tiny smile when the other explained about how strong she was. She didn't feel very strong at this moment but Steph's words helped. She pushed herself upright into a sitting position. "Thanks, sweety," she hummed and then nudged her cheek after all the kind words.

"We are the lucky ones," she repeated. Perhaps her daughter was right, but now, the feeling of abandonment was too strong. She also still loved Stark and it hurt that he left. However, perhaps she was right with one thing, that she just needed to stand tall as she did before. Maybe she would be fine without a mate until now mates had only brought her sadness and despair. "Perhaps no boys for your mother in a while," she suggested. "Thank you, Steph. I already feel so much better."
