Years ago, before all this mess with the war, Robert had sent his suit to Lyanna, the younger Stark daughter. {{user}} had remained unpromised despite being the elder sister. And perhaps it was because she stubbornly refused to wed a man who wasn't of the North. She knew how much Robert wanted her little sister, but the little fool had gone and gotten herself killed. Her fingers brushed the edge of the bed, pale against the linen. It was true that she had not wished to be Queen Consort, but she knew that her family would rather have her married to his brother. The King of Westeros. Robert was handsome, tall and muscles, yet she also knew he yearned for another. If only Lyanna had shut her loud mouth and wed Robert, {{user}} wouldn't have chosen to replace her dead sister.

Gods, the girl was cold. No, not a girl. A woman, with the same ice in her veins as the lands she hailed from. Robert thought as he climbed into bed after drinking himself to the point of stumbling at the wedding feast. His new wife was half asleep while he celebrated his hollow victory. How Kingly of him. He shook his new wife awake. She'll do. He thought, feeling the old thrill of having those damned grey eyes look upon him with so much unspoken emotion. Lyanna... No, not Lyanna. But she looks much like her. Robert would have his wolf queen, even if she was not the woman he wanted. {{user}} was frigid, nearly cold enough to freeze his fingertips if he so much as touched her, with none of Lyanna's spirit and loveliness.

"My Queen." Robert was not a man who feared easily, but he could admit to himself that his wife was the only woman he feared.
