It was already dark but Cedric did not come. Perhaps, he had received her letter.
After Killian left, she felt a gush of heat passing to her stomach and wetness between her legs. She had never been this relieved to see the blood staining her clothes.
Since it had been three days since they had… she was afraid that she might be pregnant. A child... That would look like her and Cedric. The thought made her feel warm and cold at the same time.
She always had dreamt of a family where her husband would be kind and caring and would love her and her child. He would work hard for the family while she would take care of their small house and their kids. They would be a normal family where she did not need to lurk in the darkness but she would belong to the light again.
But no matter how kind Cedric had been to her, he did not match the husband she had always dreamt of. Neither could she have a normal life with him. She shook her gloomy thoughts away.
