What is first love? Dreams, romance, and otherworldly happiness? Not so fast! It’s harsh reality, cold calculation, and a struggle with yourself. Why? Because “first” for me means “the only one.” My beloved isn’t my match, and I was supposed to choose another husband—the one who could pass the unique traits of our race to our daughter. And now the future of a huge space empire hangs by a thread because of a mistake I made once. But backing down isn’t in my rules. Despite obstacles, I will do everything to become truly happy—without destroying what has been created over thousands of years of evolution.
