***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?

The scene before him was heart-wrenching, but his wife's words echoed in his mind, keeping his emotions in check.

William knelt in the grass, his eyes brimming with desperation. "Elaine, please," he implored, his voice cracking with raw emotion. "I love you. Come with me. We'll find a way, together."

Elaine's face was a canvas of agony, her tears glistening like dew in the soft sunlight. She shook her head vigorously, her hands clasped tightly in front of her as if in prayer. "No, William," she sobbed, her voice barely a whisper. "I am tainted, stained forever. You deserve someone pure, someone whole."
