The pain that shot through Gavriel's mind was unlike anything he had ever experienced before... not even during the nights of the full moon.
Then what was it?
It felt as though something inside his mind was trying to tear itself free, threatening to split it apart.
His vision blurred for the briefest moment before he felt a gentle warmth curl around his hand.
Aliana's fingers.
They had wrapped around the hand that was still holding the wedding band resting upon her finger.
Almost instantly, the pain melted away as though it had never existed.
His eyes snapped back to her large grey ones, catching the flicker of worry in them as she whispered, "Are you alright?"
He instinctively felt a pang of regret for letting such a lapse happen in the middle of their wedding, causing her to worry when she had already gone through so much.
