I woke up, not on the floor but in my bed. I raised my head to find Aldric sleeping while sitting on a chair. I looked at him, his handsome face remembering how he was my first kiss oh wait that was Darius

I wanted to cry again. I wanted to forget about Darius because there was nothing to be done with him. I wanted to move on with my life and be with Aldric but I can't. The guilt won't let me, I ask myself questions a married woman shouldn't be asking like who does my heart truly belong to in the end? I can't love Darius for obvious reasons but can I now love Aldric knowing what I know.

I wake him by kissing him, kissing him hard, kissing him to forget about everything. I fumbled with his clothes trying to strip him, I wasn't ready for this but it was what I wanted at that moment but he stopped me and I started crying when he did

"please let me love you, please let me have you" I pleaded he looked at me confused while wiping away my tears. He held me and cradled me giving me the same familiar comfort as he did when I broke my wings.

"Aldric I love you" he raised my chin and stared into my eyes with confusion

"what?"

"I love you Aldric I want you and only you"

"I love you and I'm over the moon to hear you finally say those words but where this coming from is?" I started crying again and stuttered

"I-I-I mean we aren't... married" his reaction was expected, it was though I told him someone died

"What do you mean?"

"I mean we aren't married, I'm married to Daruis. When I told you I was kidnapped I didn't tell you everything. Daruis stole me from my kidnapper I told him I lost my memory and he broke down. He married me by giving me his name and his oath"

"that's not enough you didn't give him your name and an oath"

"only I did when we were kids we got married because we discovered that we were soulmates" That's when his face change ,the very first time I saw him angry

"and why aren't we married?" I felt ashamed as I forced the words out of me

"I don't know you name" he exploded into fit of rage

"you tricked me! You told me that the mark was meant for your true love and that I have your love only now I see I had your love not that I am your true love. I love you so much that I gave up everything for you, I gave up my identity my goals and dreams to be your husband. Adeline you are my everything without you I am nothing don't you get that" the hurt in his voice broke me

"you still have my love, the mark is something from the past. Just tell me your name so that we can fix this"

"no Linetta , no matter how hard we may try, at the end of the day , you don't belong to me and you will eventually return to who are truly destined to be with"

When he said that name my senses were triggered me, all of a sudden I felt weak like my strength was stolen from me when he said that name. That name it must be my true name "make no mistake I'll forever love you and every vow I made rings truth but for now I need to step back my heart can't take this" he left, half naked.

I bawled my eyes out. I wasn't even given a moment to grieve when the queen barged into my room "go away!" I yelled she looked at me and ignored me while taking a sit in the same place as Aldric

"I've given you enough time thandleed your personal matters now it's time for to actually fulfill your duties"

"you kidding, why do you give two cents about my 'duties' huh!" she flinched
