Lion Head Mesa i can't let you go now that I've got you

Defne knew upon their first meeting that she did not like Serein. She was too bold, a woman of impure blood who had come and taken what was sacred. She did not seem to understand her role, nor the nuances that came with it. A wife, potential or not, should be soft, graceful, silent in how she moves and subtle in her opinions.

Maybe that was why she took a small pleasure in seeing how pregnancy rattled the young woman. To Defne, it felt like proof that Serein was unworthy.

She followed her this morning, skulking in the shadows with a smile painted onto her face already. Not feeling well?
