Chapter 619: The Weight They Carried
After the short meeting, Orion left along with Ronan. Tobias was the last to leave and did not want to leave Raina, but alas, he had to leave, and he had to meet Sam after all.
Raina was asleep in her cot, and Lysander settled his gaze on Brynhild. She was quiet.
"Love," he called softly as he approached her.
He had only just crossed the distance between them when the tears spilled out, and he quickly took her into his arms as she cried softly against his chest.
"Why?" she asked with tears in her eyes. "Why couldn't it be anyone else?"
Lysander didn't say anything. He just held her close as she cried.
"It could have been anyone in the world but her," she cried. "And I know it's not her fault, I know that, but I…"
"It's okay, love," he said softly.
