Burn Brighter Together

by Jesusfollower97

While the war against Morath's forces rages on, Aelin of the Wildfire is still a tortured captive of Queen Maeve. To make matters worse, Aelin is pregnant. As time goes on, she must endure seeing her child grow in a traumatic setting. And if rescue ever comes, will they ever heal? (My take of the "What if" possibility that Aelin had been pregnant when taken by Maeve in EOS/KOA)

1. Prologue

Disclaimer: The "Throne of Glass" series is Sarah J' Maas' , not mine.

Prologue:

Perhaps it's the denial, the gut-wrenching desperate denial, that it isn't the case. Perhaps it's the dark fact that after all the blood loss and injuries her body has sustained it can't be possible. Or perhaps it's the grim acceptance that's finally settled after four months that no one is coming for her that makes Aelin reject the idea. It can't be. Not here. Not now. Yet, as the agonizing days pass, her growth soon becomes apparent to everyone.

And the Queen of the Valg simply smiles.
