Valerie kept up with appearances during the day, but at night, he battled with the demons. He was currently drunk. But then, no amount of Fae wine could get him drunk enough to forget her, Islinda. She was once a precious memory, but now a nightmare comes to haunt him.
It was laughable considering he had everything and yet he was not happy. He wanted her. Islinda was the only one who could complete his happiness. He should have been careful. He had always known that Fae felt intensely, he did not understand until now.
What about Islinda? Did she miss him or was he the only miserable one here? How was she doing? Was Aldric maltreating her or was he poisoning her mind towards him? The thought of it made his blood run cold.
