Entanglement (The Godcode, #1)

Love... It's a most curious thing. I've watched as Galaxies sprung from dust. I've had a front-row seat to the stars, bringing life to the cosmos. I have held the most powerful forces known to us in my hands and yet, I never suspected something so simple-so delicate, could unravel the entire universe. My name is Anu, they have given me many names, but those in Avana call me The Mother. The Sentiment, I appreciate, but even after breathing life into this universe, I still haven't experienced the genuine feeling of a Mother's love. Until I created her... She was perfect in every way. Skin as dark as the depths of space, but smooth as the finest silk. Her pearlescent hair was the perfect frame for her soft face with freckles that twinkled like stars. She was my greatest creation and the closest thing to the feeling of love that I would experience. I named her Inanna. I still didn't understand my need to feel something so simple, for I was eternal and through the code, I am connected to all things. Through her, I learned the true power of love and kindness and it was, perhaps, greater than anything the code could bring me. I knew what she would one day become, but I wanted more for her. Overseeing an entire universe sounds glamorous, but it is incredibly lonely. I want her to experience the love that I long for, so I created four potential mates for her. She would have the best I could give her, and when I created the four, I begged the source to make at least one that would love her like I had never been loved. I could control the entire flow of the cosmos, but when the source answered, I quickly found out that love was a force that even the Godcode couldn't control.
