iv. Their Sufferings

"What happened? Why did I bleed last night?" her voice was faint, almost just a whisper, but he heard her loud and clear.

"It doesn't matter. It is over now, you are safe. That is what counts," Dominus tried to reassure her even when his heart felt like it was being torn into pieces.

"Tell me. You have to tell me, Dominus. You have to at least tell me, I beg of you," she pleaded, trying to ignore the feeling of doom that suddenly brought chills to her entire being.

"I shouldn't. We shouldn't. Let us not focus on that my love. We are together, and you are safe now. I will never let you be harmed again. I swear it on my honor, I will never let any one hurt you again," he whispered, afraid of being forced to say more.
