A week had passed, and Medeia had completely forgotten just how exhausting it was to take care of a baby. No—perhaps she had never really known.
Her past experiences didn't count. Most of her children had died too soon, and the few who survived a bit longer were raised by her minions, hidden away from their father before he eventually found them.
Now that she thought about it … maybe she had never actually learned how to care for a child properly, especially a human one.
Demon children were easy. They could go days without food, endure harsh conditions, and still survive. The only way to kill them was to pierce their hearts or sever their heads.
But a human baby? That was an entirely different challenge.
