It's not particularly windy, I realised leaving the packhouse behind and slipped in the dense forest. Something was buzzing and whirring in my ears, a ball of lump in my throat. My hand wrapped around my belly on instinct, a thick shawl draped over me.
The encounter with Jade and the way Aiden reacted still burned in my memory, an persistent ache in my chest. He did not even think twice before asking the witch to get rid of our pup, something that made me feel unsettled. In this short period of time, I managed to form an attachment with the foetus, and the thought of someone killing it off made me sick.
Despite all the chaos in our cabin, there was only one person I could think of to pull me out of that. My mother. She was also a healer and would know how to tackle this problem.
