A wave of thankfulness flowed through Aakifahlynn for the thing she would need because she had used it many times.
She had never been more grateful that her goal was not to have children immediately.
Imagine bringing a child into this, witnessing their mother killed so brutally, or hearing the tales when they grew older. Plus, Aakifahlynn's ambitions did not provide for such a thing.
At least not yet. Aakifahlynn had thought she had years for that, maybe even ten years into their marriage, which was nothing for a werewolf. Sadly, they barely made it to five years.
Although a child may have changed things she'd randomly thought, it was too late for those sentiments.
Nevertheless, Aakifahlynn will need to use that poppy wheat one more time before leaving the kingdom.
Only it won't be on herself this time...
Aakifahlynn was not thinking past, ripping Jairus and Taisiya's joy away from them.
She was not even weighing the consequences of her actions on her conscience.
