Chapter 48

It's been a few weeks since being in the fae realm and I was now 22 weeks pregnant. Once we had left the fae realm, we had gone back to Ryker's for a while before traveling back to my father's land where I had an ultrasound and found out I was having twin boys.

I was pretty excited and so was Ryker and Rayne for the most part. Ever since everything that had happened with Bella, Rayne had to make the decision of what to do with her.

In the end, he chose execution. As much as it killed him to have her killed, it would have hurt him and his family more to watch her suffer and die slowly in a cell for the rest of her life and after her crimes those were her only choices, so he told me.

Ever since then, he has been distant. He does his best to be happy, but I can tell he is hurting. To make it worse though, he also has been traveling back to the fae realm a lot and wasn't with us as much which made me sad, but I knew he needed his time and space to cope and grieve and I had respect that.
