***Completed*** Lady Jessamyn brought home a ten-year-old orphan when she was eight. He was handsome ^_~. She provided him with a place to stay and warm meals. As they grew up, she desired to marry him, despite their differing statuses. As war raged, he signed up for the military, promising to ask for her hand when he was worthy. Two years later, he became more than what he promised he would be. He became the Archduke of Ayberia. But he broke her heart by marrying her friend. Years rolled away; life happened. She married a man who loved her and fell madly in love with him. She didn't think of him again. But fate was cruel; she was widowed at the age of twenty-one. She lost everything. Seven years later, she met a mysterious wolf while she was out at work in the Archduke's fief. She had a fall. The next morning, she found herself on the Archduke's bed. Did fate bring them together again? Or something nefarious is at play? Is this a chance for a second love? Will she find out why he abandoned her in the past? Is it possible to rekindle their old love, or is it too late? ----- Join me in this journey. Your comments and votes are appreciated. Gift me to motivate me. Updates will be daily.
The horse got closer to her accepting her, making her heart overflow.
"And I promise I won't leave you again." She spoke; the words were a vow, spoken with a conviction that resonated deeply within her. She knew that they both needed this reunion, a chance to heal and to move forward together.
"Once you get better, you can stay with her…" Jerrick said, walking up to the horse.
Jessamyn took a step back from the horse. He was full of vigor even though his appearance didn't match what he used to be. Jessamyn had a good feeling that it wouldn't be long before Jostein would be back.
Her eyes then ended on Jerrick who was gently stroking Jostein's mane. She realized how much he valued her feelings. He knew that Joar's horse was more than just an animal; he was a living connection to a lost loved one, a vessel of memories.
