***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?

To Find Solace

Jessamyn hesitated, her heart a tumult of fear and uncertainty. The thought of wandering the snow-covered woods, pregnant and alone, gnawed at her. She imagined the biting cold seeping into her bones, the darkness closing in around her, and the child within her, vulnerable and innocent, subjected to the merciless elements.

The terror of that vision, stark and unforgiving, tipped the scales in her mind. With a reluctant nod, she agreed to Hamilton's plan, the desperation in her voice unmistakable as she whispered, "Yes, I'll go with you."

For the next week, Jessamyn traveled in the relative safety of the mule cart. The cart, though humble, became her sanctuary against the harsh winter that raged outside. Each morning, she would awaken to the sound of muffled footsteps in the snow, her breath a visible mist in the frigid air.
