I Loved Him First

by bakaprincess85

Waking up in an entirely different universe, Aura has to adapt to her new life, which is not always easy. As she joins Shepard's team on Normandy SR1 and then later on the SR2, her future suddenly seems... frightening and not at all what she imagined it to be. Thank the Spirits for the Turian who was at her side from the beginning.

Disclaimer: Everything in this story belongs to Bioware. I'm just playing in their sandbox and making sand pies with their tools.

Author's Note: Yes, yes, I know that I still haven't started writing a sequel to Hoping For a Better Future and neither have I updated any of my other stories, but I've been museless for a while now and this idea has been running through my head and my dreams for a while now, so I'm getting it out of my system. I don't know how often I'll update this thing nor how long it will be - I just want to write! :)

And sorry for the short chapter - it's a prologue, they're supposed to be short! XD

But hey, at least I'm starting to write again!

I Loved Him First

Prologue

I don't really know how to start this story. It still seems like a dream to me. And as I gaze upon the sleeping face of my mate, I wonder how I got to be so lucky as to have him in my life.

My fingers go to the bite mark on my left shoulder as if of their own accord as I smile at the ridges on my skin from the scarring the mark left. A nuzzle on my head brings me out of my pondering as I turn to look at my mate's predatory blue eyes, feeling the excitement flush through my body as he turns his attention to where my fingers are.

I can't help but smile at the growl he lets out.
