1. 44. I Promise You THEON. 

She stood up, still clutching the bundle in her arms, as I entered and swiftly shut the door behind me. Closing the gap between us, I pulled her into my arms. 

Our hearts hammered as I held her tightly. 

“Theon.” She whispered, my hand weaved into her hair. I tugged her head up, pressing my lips to her forehead as I closed my eyes, inhaling her scent. 

Fuck, she was here... alive... 

“Hush, I got you.” I murmured. 

She clung to me with one hand, the other clutching the bundle that she was treasuring, and I forced myself back to see what she was holding. 

“It‘s a baby.” She whispered, fresh tears spilling down her cheeks. 

There was no heartbeat. 

My heart sank as a thousand thoughts ran through my mind. “The baby died because I lost control of my powers.” She whimpered, staring at the dead baby in her arms. 

How could he? I tried to control my own emotions as I slowly took the body of the baby from her. She let go reluctantly and I placed him down on the bed. Theoden was beyond fucking messed up. The first rule of war... the children, women, and elderly must not be harmed. 

A stifled sob made me turn back to her, and I pulled her into my arms, embracing her tightly. There was nothing to say that would ease her pain and so I just held her, rubbing her back and arms as she clutched my shirt tightly, sobbing to her heart‘s content into my chest. 

I placed soft kisses on her shoulders, head and cheeks, trying to comfort her, wanting to ease the pain that was tormenting her. I was seething with rage, every time the collar touched me, it reminded me of its presence. 

How dare he fucking collar her like she was his belonging! 

His words from a short while earlier rang in my head, 

‘I will marry her...‘ 

That‘s never fucking happening... “I love you. I love you, Theon.” She was whispering. I moved back reluctantly, cupping her face and tilting it up as I looked down at her. “And I you, Little Storm, beyond anything else.” I brushed her tears away, kissing her forehead once again.

“The baby‘s death is not on you, it‘s on Theoden, and he will fucking pay.” I pulled her against me, kissing her jaw. The very urge to rip this collar off her was difficult to contain.
