I woke up, not on the floor but in my bed. I raised my head to find Aldric sleeping while sitting on a chair. I looked at him, his handsome face remembering how he was my first kiss oh wait that was Darius

I wanted to cry again. I wanted to forget about Darius because there was nothing to be done with him. I wanted to move on with my life and be with Aldric but I can't. The guilt won't let me, I ask myself questions a married woman shouldn't be asking like who does my heart truly belong to in the end? I can't love Darius for obvious reasons but can I now love Aldric knowing what I know.

I wake him by kissing him, kissing him hard, kissing him to forget about everything. I fumbled with his clothes trying to strip him, I wasn't ready for this but it was what I wanted at that moment but he stopped me and I started crying when he did

"please let me love you, please let me have you" I pleaded he looked at me confused while wiping away my tears. He held me and cradled me giving me the same familiar comfort as he did when I broke my wings.

"Aldric I love you" he raised my chin and stared into my eyes with confusion

"what?"

"I love you Aldric I want you and only you"

"I love you and I'm over the moon to hear you finally say those words but where this coming from is?" I started crying again and stuttered

"I-I-I mean we aren't... married" his reaction was expected, it was though I told him someone died

"What do you mean?"

"I mean we aren't married, I'm married to Daruis. When I told you I was kidnapped I didn't tell you everything. Daruis stole me from my kidnapper I told him I lost my memory and he broke down. He married me by giving me his name and his oath"

"that's not enough you didn't give him your name and an oath"

"only I did when we were kids we got married because we discovered that we were soulmates" That's when his face change ,the very first time I saw him angry

"and why aren't we married?" I felt ashamed as I forced the words out of me

"I don't know you name" he exploded into fit of rage

"you tricked me! You told me that the mark was meant for your true love and that I have your love only now I see I had your love not that I am your true love. I love you so much that I gave up everything for you, I gave up my identity my goals and dreams to be your husband. Adeline you are my everything without you I am nothing don't you get that" the hurt in his voice broke me

"you still have my love, the mark is something from the past. Just tell me your name so that we can fix this"

"no Linetta , no matter how hard we may try, at the end of the day , you don't belong to me and you will eventually return to who are truly destined to be with"

When he said that name my senses were triggered me, all of a sudden I felt weak like my strength was stolen from me when he said that name. That name it must be my true name "make no mistake I'll forever love you and every vow I made rings truth but for now I need to step back my heart can't take this" he left, half naked.

I bawled my eyes out. I wasn't even given a moment to grieve when the queen barged into my room "go away!" I yelled she looked at me and ignored me while taking a sit in the same place as Aldric

"I've given you enough time thandleed your personal matters now it's time for to actually fulfill your duties"

"you kidding, why do you give two cents about my 'duties' huh!" she flinched

"you represent me, so everything you do affects me. Anyways it's time for you to grow and learn how we do things around here. Get up and get dressed we are moving" I ignored her and went back into my blankets. I didn't want to deal with her. That's when I felt the blanket be pulled off me and servants carrying me away. I protested and fought back but of course I lost that battle

I was forcefully washed, dressed and fed. Then carried by personal guard strangely enough the queen award me a team for 5 new guards I wonder why.

We were carried on giant white birds to our destination a scary looking building. We entered and from the start I didn't like this, where were we. "There she is" "who?" "Your mother who else" oh no! I had completely forgotten about her. I rushed to the open cell and found a woman who looked absolutely nothing like me. For starts her hair was blonde and her eyes where a bright hazel. She was every frail and short with a face harden by age or maybe misery. She saw me and she broke down instantly while I stood there.

"Is that really you my little rabbit?" "Yes it I Adeline and you must be my mother" "can I hug?" she asked. I wasn't exactly comfortable but I let her embrace me, I might not recognize her but she recognized me "I've missed you so very much and you finally come home to me" "home? Is that what you call this place" "yes, it isn't really easy to explain but never mind that you here to brighten it up" I wanted to ask more but I didn't "I won't dally around this, if you are my mom, where were you, and how did I end up in the mortal world?" "You might want to sit down for this" she led me to the only metal chair in the cell while she stood "Adeline long ago it was me and you and your father. Your father's first heir had passed while his second had abounded him and joined his worst enemy you were all he had left so he loved you with everything he had. Till it you grew up and became a monster. You became blood thirsty and embodiment of pure evil so he didn't give you throne and had to exile you. He knew you would find your way back so he placed a powerful spell on your so that your memories would remain hidden from you" I digested this brief story, it wasn't hard to believe that I turned out to be so crooked in nature "and you" my mom frowned "you put me in here" and my broken heart broke even more of course another victim of Adeline. Was the end to this "well then you leaving right this instance" she shook her head " I am bound to this place by you, I can't leave even if I wanted to"

I started to crying "I'm sorry I changed mom, I'm not that Adeline anymore" she embraced again "and I believe you ,look at how much you have grown into a real gem" that's when her face changed she whispered into my ear "does anyone know ?" "Know what?" "Your secret?" "What secret" she smiled "never mind" "no I do mind what secret?" the queen interjected "okay that's enough for now I'll let you spend time with her later but know school starts soon and we don't want you to be late "school! Right now?" the queen rolled her eyes "guards take her to school, I can't deal with this right now it will give me wrinkles" she left and the guards carried me away...

My guards we taking me to school. I didn't hear anything how could with everything that has happened. I need something that makes sense in midst of chaos so I did something I knew I would regret

When it was afterschool I asked my guards to take me to the sea kingdom. It was at first was cold but I quickly got use to the temperature. It wasn't exactly a beautiful place, it was dark and lacked colour so I didn't see much. Even the castle was just a giant cave with a really deep hole in it

They made me eat a seaweed that would allow me to breath under water and then they snuck me in to see Daruis .We had go through many tunnels and rooms till we found the one, it wasn't an easy task since the place was heavily guarded Just as his wife had said he was in chains in a dark isolated room.

This time I when I saw him I viewed him in a different light, not as my nightmare but as my victim as my betrayed first love or better yet my broken promise. He was in an even worse state than last time, he was bruised and dirty. I walked over to him and he saw me "have you come to take me away my Adeline?" I ignored his ask "what is my name?" he smiled "You have bounded me not say it so that I would never have control over you" "fine then do you remember the day that we got married? The day that I said that I would be the husband?" he frowned and gulped "we were children back then" he looked away ashamed "I failed didn't I? I failed to be your husband, to lead and to protect you...from me myself especially" "Don't do this to me" I want to hear it" his face changed "in me you search for comfort someone else to hold your hand, he has left you hasn't he? Adeline I can give you everything else but what I can't give you is what he gave you. I am your dog not your lover" through my sobs I whispered "but you are my soulmate"

"that I am, you have me in you hand, I
lean on your every word I'll be your wish but what I'll not be is the one who holds your heart or the lips that touch yours. I am your soulmate not the other way around don't get it twisted. You are not my breath, you are not the flower that grows on the infertile soil of my life. You are not the light in my darkness but you are the reason that I will never be normal the reason why I am the way that I am, the bruise and the scare that will never heal. A permeant mark on me left by you" "its Anabel then?" "Nor her as well I have not soulmate, she is my lover so I protect her by not giving her my heart for I know it's far to broken to give to anyone and if she were to break the pieces, she would suffer my wrath like you were meant to" "we can-"he cut me off "we cannot, too much has happened since, we can't go back, I will never go back"

"Why did I bother you, I'm sorry I've taken so much from and I have to guts to ask for more I am extremely ashamed. Move on and live your life I will never hurt you again" he smiled "another lie, tell me more. Tell me more of your lies, tell me more till I'm sick of them, and tell them all till I hate you again. Tell me more so that I regret my oath to you.Don't stop till I can feel again till I hate you enough to kill you" "fairies don't lie!" "if you were one" he said "what do you mean?" he went quiet

I immediately went over to him and cupped his face in both hands "tell me or I will kiss you" his face went cold "you wouldn't dare" So I kissed him and then something weird happened like lights of blue and green came out of us and they started intertwining. I was floating in the air and I couldn't let him go. It felt like fireworks like I felt us become one. I heard his thoughts, I sensed what he said and our breath became.

"No! Didn't I tell you to stay the hell away from us!" she beat the hell out of me and I deserved every single hit but she stopped when saw that when she was inflicting pain on me Daruis felt as well. She ran and started bawling out her eyes holding him desperately "what have I done?" "It's not only about finding whose soulmate it's also about recognizing your soulmate. You have just recognized me as your soulmate"

I only now realize how much everyone hates Adeline's gut except Aldric and Lily who are the only people havent hurt her. What do you think about that?

Do you think that Daruis is truly broken and you feel sorry for Anabel

Do you think that Daruis and Adeline will become better soulmates or there is no hope and that they should return to their lovers
