Chapter Twenty-Three

His words sounded like an order, but the doubt and the fear she saw in his eyes told her it was a cry for help. He didn’t want to be alone to meet his mother.

He covered her hand with his, and she nodded.

The door opened, and a fragile woman entered the room, fixing her hair with shaky hands.

“This is so much nicer than the camps,” she said, with a wavering smile, as she looked at Cyran, the twin closest to the door. She immediately stopped and covered her mouth with her hand a moment before she dropped to the floor on her knees. “Oh, sacred stars…” she mumbled, her eyes filling with tears.

Both men rushed to help her up.

She looked at Haryk. “You found him… he’s not dead…” she mumbled as she allowed them to help her up.

“Yes, he’s alive,” Haryk said with a scowl.

Sandra could see the pain in the other man’s eyes. Though he had her there with him, he had never truly had his mother. She had been lost in her grieve for the loss of her other baby she had ended up pushing away the son she still had at her side.

She had seen that so many times. People weren’t conscious of their actions, and unless you looked for counseling, for help, families ended up torn apart.

The queen hugged both men as if she would never let go. “I can’t believe this is truly happening,” she kept muttering.

Hesitant at first, the men finally hugged the small female, awkward and uncomfortable at first, but quickly allowing their true feelings to come out.

Cyran was struggling to keep his self-control. This was not how he had always imagined this encounter. He had played this meeting in his mind a million times, while he was growing up. He would show her how far he had gone, how much he had done, and how little he needed her in his life. He would show her all the contempt he felt for her, and treat her the way she had treated him, like trash he could swipe out of his life.

But the heartfelt sobs coming from his mother told a whole different story. It spoke of a heartbroken woman that had been forced to say goodbye to one of her babies and whose grief had pushed away from the other.

He didn’t know how long they stood there, just hugging her and trying to give her some comfort. When her sobs finally faded, he guided her to the nearest couch and helped her to take a seat, doing the same next to her. Haryk did the same on the other side.

“You must hate me so much,” she mumbled, looking at Cyran and then at Haryk. “I failed you both.”

“We know things weren’t easy for you either, mother,” Haryk told her.

“I’m sorry I never told you the truth… I was so afraid he would send me away…” she said, wiping the tears from her cheeks.

“I know… now, I understand.”

Cyran looked for Sandra, but she wasn’t around.
