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.

He Disappeared

Jessamyn cast a worried glance at Bernard, noting how ragged and gaunt he had become. His once strong and broad frame was now reduced, his breath coming in labored gasps as they trudged through the dense undergrowth.

They had been walking for what felt like an eternity—over a week without decent rest. Every step was a struggle, especially for Bernard, who received nothing but starvation and cruelty while Jessamyn was given just enough sustenance to keep her on her feet.

The baby growing inside her demanded more from her body, and the woman holding them captive knew that too well.
