The Archduke's Songbird

***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.

A Promise

 

Jerrick immediately stood up leaving a healthy space between them both. He wouldn't want her to faint in pain again. Even he was amused by how keenly he was observing her facial reactions.

Her eyebrows were furrowed and he thought he was mad he got close to her, but by the pout of her lips, he assumed she was not in pain. She was merely thinking about something.

Phew!

"You think I can climb there? You've climbed there?" Jessamyn asked, still with her eyebrows furrowed. With her lips pressed, she looked at the mountain once more. "It looks steep and high…very high. It would take days to get up there, wouldn't it…?"

Jerrick chuckled. "It does. But it makes the journey fun, don't you think?"

Jessamyn rubbed her neck. "Maybe… Did you ride to the top?" She asked. She didn't want to spell out that she didn't have the energy to climb for days to get to the peak.
