I have no idea why he would want this, why he would want her. Not now. Not after everything. And yet…I still want her, after everything.

Marriage. Marriage to someone that isn’t me. Marriage to someone who I will spend the text of my life serving. I’ll loose her forever whilst being forced to watch.

I can’t even look at her. This is how I loose her. Not by death, but by something just as binding.

The command rings in my head. And to think I spend so much time trying to hate her. To think I won’t have enough time to love her.

My heart aches because every beat belongs to her. And I may never be able to tell her that. She was supposed to be my forever. Now I’ll watch her become someone else.

Because the beast, doesn’t get the beauty…
