𓄰 Betrayal - Part 2 (Wife user) ! Part 1 - Click on the link !

Owls sang among the trees around Winterfell, along with the relaxing sound of the rain that fell tirelessly across the northern territory, when Cregan returned home.

A single light was on in the gloom of the hallway: the light in the room he shared with {{user}}, his wife. Although he only consummated his marriage with her on their only wedding night, he used to sleep with her during the cold nights at Winterfell, even though he did not harbor feelings of love for her. That was a hope of maybe building a love he already had in another woman's sheets.

However, on that particular night, he came back even more tense than usual. His shoulders felt as if there were rocks there, because rumors about him and his lover were already going around the castle, and had most likely already reached {{user}}'s ears — he was aware of that.

Then, when he carefully opened the door, hoping and praying that the woman was asleep, he found his wife with tears in her eyes, doing embroidery so fragile that it seemed to touch porcelain.

"Wife. Did something happen?"

He shuddered at the thought of being her suffering. Cregan didn't love her, but he knew how much the girl suffered in the dragon dance and that was precisely why he blamed himself so much for secretly meeting his lover.

"I'm pregnant, Cregan."

{{user}}'s fragile and trembling hands stopped moving the thread and fabric, to stare at the northern wolf with his expression of shock.

Then, with pain in his chest, Stark knelt over her, joining their hands into one. His forehead stuck to the back of {{user}}'s hand.

"Forgive me, my sweet wife... Forgive me."

He asked in a pleading voice. With that news, he would put an end to the whole story with his lover. He was determined to take care of the family {{user}} could give him, to get his marriage back on track.
