Chapter 17

Athyna had stayed with the Yarristers for several weeks when she decided it was time to return home. A week after Voldruk’s suicide, she found a letter from him confessing everything to her. He apologized profusely for his actions, but she still could not forgive him for all the heartache he had caused. As suspected, Voldruk had all of his affairs in order, so Athyna would be well cared for financially.

Therron breathed a sigh of relief over that. He had become increasingly interested in her during the time she spent with his family. She was a loving female with a kind heart. He didn’t want her to have worries of any kind.

Athyna had grown close with Maddie as well. The three young females were often in each other’s company, with Sharra continuing to plan the unification ceremony and subsequent reception for Rayn and Maddie. Maddie was becoming overwhelmed with all of her ideas, and Athyna and become a good buffer for Maddie. Sharra and Athyna both noticed Maddie’s agitation and frustration, and they began to wonder about it. They originally surmised it was a case of the jitters, but Maddie refused their questions and was becoming impossibly uncooperative with Sharra. Finally, Sharra threw her arms in the air and stormed out one afternoon. Maddie went to her quarters and sulked.

It was on that day that Maddie became conscious of how much she wanted to postpone her marriage. She loved Rayn with all of her heart, but there was so much she needed to understand about herself. She knew it would be unfair to him to push forward with this. Rayn would not be happy about this; in fact, this would hurt him immensely. Maddie knew she had to act, and act fast, before things were at the point of no return.

Maddie paced around her room, wearing holes in the rugs, while she anxiously waited for Rayn to arrive. She dreaded this upcoming conversation because she knew it was going to intensely hurt him. She wrung her hands, trying to expel her nervous energy. She had rehearsed this time and again in her head, trying to talk herself out of this decision to no avail. In the depths of her heart, she realized this was the right thing to do. Once again she darted a glance out the window to see if there was any sign of his arrival.

She finally plopped herself down on the side of her bed. She hadn’t slept well in several days due to this decision of hers, and the lack of sleep was evident in the deep purple hues beneath her eyes. She hoped and prayed Rayn would forgive her and maybe try to understand. She dropped her head to the pillow and squeezed her eyes shut, hoping to alleviate the throbbing in her temples.

Without warning, the door to her chambers burst open, and Rayn was at her side in a millisecond. She doubted she would ever get used to his inhuman speed. She also felt her guilt increase a hundred fold.
