CHAPTER 73 Shattered Dreams

  Ellissa's POV

  As we settled in the quaint town that stood almost close to our final destination, I could feel the weariness of our long journey seeping into my bones. The tiresome path we had traversed had taken a toll on me, and the old witch, wise and observant, noticed the signs of my fatigue. With her perceptive gaze, she realized that I needed rest, not only for myself but also for the little child growing inside my womb. It was not good for either of us to push ourselves beyond our limits.

  Sitting by the hearth in the cozy inn room, I found solace in the flickering flames, my mind wandering to thoughts of Eden, my beloved. I wondered if he missed me as much as I missed him. Oh, how I longed to be in his warm embrace again, to feel his strong arms around me, and to lose myself in his loving gaze. I knew deep in my heart that he had yearned for me, searched for me tirelessly, and the thought of reuniting with him ignited a fervor within my soul.
