The woman standing before me wasn’t broken. She wasn’t the same woman who used to stammer in my presence–she was strong now, unafraid, and defiant.

“You don’t need to know about him.”

I took another step forward, narrowing the space between us. Her gaze pierced through me, stirring something I couldn’t quite name.

How could she stand so confidently in front of me after everything she had done?

“You need to answer me before you leave. My mercy isn’t for everyone.”

I tried to intimidate her, hoping to pry the truth from her lips.

She glanced toward the room where Luna had just gone. I could see the fear flickering in her eyes–not for herself, but for her daughter.

If it had been any other child, I wouldn’t have cared at all.

A flicker of hope ignited in my chest. What if they were mine?

The thought alone sent a strange sensation through me.
