She had to wonder if the queen would beat her home.
It was a natural thing, the way wolves grew weaker over the years, but for a woman like Haedwig it was utter torture. With her only dynasty in a grave, all she had to show for her life was her work. That had been destroyed with the old kingdom.
She had no interest in finding love anymore, and with her womb essentially dust the only children she would raise anymore were that of other women. She had to force herself to keep moving, to prove that she still could if nothing else. Thalassa did not value her the way she should; she was treated as a liability.
Wading through the shallow waters of a lake she pondered this. What could she truly do in such a situation?
