***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.
Jessamyn's breath caught as she heard the figure approaching her.
"Milady…"
Jessamyn let out the breath she was holding till then, hearing Aldric's familiar voice. Patting her beating chest, she stood up. "Handled?" she asked.
"Yes, Milady," Aldric held out his hand to help her out of the littered alleyway.
Jessamyn saw two men in hoods squirming in pain leaning on the wall. When their eyes ended on her, however, they snarled, baring their teeth.
Jessamyn blinked. What was that about?
Alderic furrowed his brows, suspicious of their odd behavior. Approaching them, he asked a series of pointed questions but received no answers. Instead, they snarled at Jessamyn, their aggression palpable as they attempted to lunge at her.
