Chapter 49: The Blood Moon

~Celine~

It’s been two days since my father killed Kilhan. I had locked myself in my room ever since. I refused to eat or talk to anyone except my son.

I’d hold him in my hand and cry for the house, apologizing to him for not helping his father before he got killed by his grandfather. He wasn’t even given a chance to know he had a son.

Sometimes, I’d dream about Kilhan holding me and Kendrick in his arms. Of course, it was only a dream.

I hated my father even more, and like before, I wanted to run away like I’ve always done. This was the height of it, and I didn’t want to be anywhere close to him.

“How do you think his mother is going to feel right now, Kendrick?” I muttered, staring at him as he slept peacefully in his cradle.

Tears rolled down my cheeks as I carefully caressed Kendrick’s cheeks. I needed to do something. I needed to get Kendrick away from my father, but I wasn’t sure how.
