Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down

; 149 Traumatic memories When Alessandro finished his work it was already late, Abril had already gone to rest in her room, he went directly to the room, when he entered he was surprised to see Abril by the door, he asked her.

_ Are you going somewhere? _Yes, I was going to look for you.

_ Is something wrong? _I was thinking about how to help in this war, I can bless the weapons to fight against the creatures born from darkness.

_ And do you know how to do it? _I think I do know how to do it, although I'm not very sure.

Alessandro took April by the waist, caressed her cheek gently and said to her.

_I understand how you feel, but you don't have to force yourself to do anything.

_But we need weapons to fight the darkness.

_And we will have them, yesterday the elves told him that warriors from their kingdom will come with weapons blessed by the light, your powers have awakened very recently, do not force yourself so much, we do not know what your limit may be since your power has not yet broken all the seals that contain your magic.

_ And when will they arrive? _They should arrive in a few days.

_ But what happens if they don't arrive? Or if they attack us and we don't have weapons to defend ourselves? _That won't happen, don't worry, every day has its own problem, we will solve things when the time comes, don't worry.

_But...

_Let's not think about that now, yeah.

_I just can't, every time I close my eyes I remember what happened at the dance, the screams of terror and pain, the metallic smell of blood, the dead and the wounded, the horrible monsters about to attack you and the terror I felt at that moment when I saw that your life was in danger, I love you so much Lessan, that just thinking that I could have lost you, my heart breaks into a thousand pieces.

Alessandro leaned down, snatching April's lips with a kiss, his kiss was strong, but at the same time kind, sweet and tender.

He continued kissing her, claiming her lips as his own for a long time, preventing her from uttering a word, he continued kissing her until all the anxiety and fear that April felt disappeared, when He parted her lips she was panting, her cheeks were flushed and her lips were slightly swollen, he told her.

_ I'm here with you Aby, you're not going to lose me, I know what we're going through may be traumatic for you, but don't be afraid, I'm here and I don't plan on going anywhere, I'll be by your side at all times, I've already promised you that, do you remember? She placed her hand on his chest, she could feel his heartbeat, his agitated breathing, that made her heart feel calmer, she raised her gaze, her golden eyes locked with his.

_I can't imagine a life without you, a future in which you are not by my side, when I think that I could lose you, I can't help but feel my heart fill with fear and anxiety, if something were to happen to you I...

Alessandro kissed her again, a short kiss that was really just a touch, but that kiss, the warmth of his lips, calmed Abril again.

_Aby, don't worry about the future or you'll lose sight of your present, let's live day by day, let's live every moment and every instant that we have for each other.

April put her arms around Alessandro's neck and kissed him.

She wanted to keep feeling his kisses, his caresses.

She wanted to feel him with all her being, for every part of her body to make him see that they were together, that what was to come didn't matter.

What mattered was that at that very moment they were together and that they loved each other madly.

After a long kiss, Alessandro took Abril in his arms and carried her to the bed.

Their mouths claimed each other, that night they made love, they joined their bodies and became one being, their union was not only in body, but also in soul, they told each other with each kiss, with each caress, that they belonged to each other.

They forgot everything that worried them, everything that had been tormenting them, in that moment, it was as if in the entire world, only the two of them existed.

*** Maya and Cassian were lying in bed, but they couldn't sleep, Ethan had gone to see them and told them that they had to be alert, that even if they were being treated as guests, the truth is that they were not, they were just undesirables who had burst in without warning.

From the bed you could see the sky starry, Maya stared at it, she was amazed, there the sky looked more beautiful, the moon seemed to shine with more splendor and the stars seemed tiny diamonds, there were so many it was impossible to count them, Cassian put his arm around her waist and asked.

_ Are you sleeping? _No, and after what Ethan said, I doubt he will.

_I don't think I'll be able to sleep either.

Maya put her hand on Cassian's and said.

_Thank you.

_ Why are you thanking me? _I am thanking you for that day when you allowed me to go with you, thanks to you I have been able to see and experience incredible things.

_You know that that day I was forced to take you with me, right? _Yes, I know, but, even if I had insisted tirelessly, if you hadn't wanted to take me with you, you would have left me behind when I went to get my things, but you didn't, you stayed waiting for me.

_You're right, I don't know why that didn't occur to me at the time.

Cassian rested his chin on her shoulder, intertwined his fingers with Maya's and said.

_But I'm glad I didn't think of it at the time, or I wouldn't be here with you.

Maya turned around, she wanted to see his face, when she met his gaze, she saw something in his eyes that made her feel weak, that made the wall she had built between them fall into a thousand pieces, she didn't know if it was true or if it was just her imagination, but she wanted to know so she asked him.

_ Do you love me? Cassian was surprised, he didn't even know what he felt for Maya, what he did know was that he wanted to be with her.

_If I'm honest, I don't know, I just know that I want to be by your side, Do you love me? Maya didn't answer his question, she knew the answer, but she refused to tell it since there would never be a future for them, she kissed him and evaded his question.

_I think we better try to get some sleep, we don't know what we'll find tomorrow.

Cassian realized that Maya had evaded his question, but he didn't want to force her to answer.

_Yes, I think that will be the best.
