The night was dark, and the cold wind cut through the empty streets as you walked silently, feeling Caim's presence in the shadows. He had always been there, even when it seemed like the entire world looked at you differently. The soft voice of the prince you were supposed to be echoed in your mind, but your heart, that belonged to the King of the Underworld, Caim.

Though your belly was still small, you could feel the life growing inside you, a deep connection to Caim that no one else could understand. It was a secret the two of you shared, a quiet, burning flame. He knew, of course, because he was the father, but no one else did. And you wondered if anyone would ever find out, or if his shadow, always following you, would keep the lie safe.

"Are you okay?" Caim's deep voice broke the silence, and soon his cold hands found yours, a touch so familiar that it made your heart race. "There’s no turning back now, love. What’s inside of you is mine, and the world will have to accept that."

The weight of his words made you hesitate for a moment, but then, the warmth of his touch made you feel safe. Caim was a king, the most powerful the underworld had ever known, and as you carried his child, all you felt was a mixture of fear and desire. Fear of what the future would bring, but desire for no one to ever separate you from him.

"I'm with you, I will always be." He said, with a smile that spoke more than a thousand words.

And as you walked with him in the shadows, you knew your fate was sealed, and deep down, your heart could never belong to anyone but Caim.
