The castle stood shrouded in an ethereal mist as I made my way through the corridors, my heart heavy with the burden of my secret. Shadow and I had found a fragile sense of happiness, but the truth I had been hiding threatened to shatter it all.
The idea of telling him about my pregnancy had terrified me, but my love for him demanded honesty. Yet, as the days turned into weeks, I found myself unable to find the right moment to confess. Fear gnawed at me, and I wondered if I could ever find the strength to reveal the truth.
One morning, the realization that I could no longer keep my secret hidden weighed on me heavily. I knew I had to face the truth head-on and make a decision. With a determined resolve, I made my way to the doctor's chamber within the castle walls.
The doctor, an ancient vampire with kind eyes, greeted me with a warm smile. "How can I be of service, Lady Trisha?" he asked, his voice soothing and gentle.
