Abditory (n.) A place where you can hide; A hiding place

"15th APRIL,2019.

My eyes shed tears, drop by drop,

in hopes of your return, my beloved.

My eyes shed tears...

I wept as I waited for you to return and take me away from this dark hole you pushed me in....

Thousands of sorrows and this solitude,

are all part of love's disgrace. 

I have spent several such nights

where neither you came to me, nor my death...

I kept weeping and wailing as the scars on my skin burned, the wolfs bane laced with my blood pricked my veins as my eyelids grew heavier...

I am an incomplete story,

When you remember me, come back to me...

I wept as my cracked lips parted for a silent pray to the Mother Luna, I prayed for you to return...

My eyelashes are moist, 

as my tears drip, sounding like the jingle of an anklet,

My eyes are lost and sullen....

I wept for my ill fate, I wept for my pup who now was in my womb, ready to be fed... I wept silently...and, that is how I spent the last day in this dark dungeon..." 

Aries silently read his mate's last diary entry in the guest bedroom of the Knox Mansion - her handwriting was smudged and shaky because of how weak and frail her body had become during those last days in the dungeon. His eyes welled up, it was as if someone was forcefully twisting a silver knife into his heart. What had he done?

Roxanne and Orion watched bewildered as Cassiopeia's body trembled violently, slowly and steadily she opened her eyes. 

Roxanne's eyes welled up with tears, her baby girl was awake, her pup was awake; Meanwhile, Orion mindlinked their sons conveying them of Cassiopeia waking up and within seconds three heavy pairs of footsteps stormed into the room, 

"Peia!" Cosmos uttered as his eyes welled up, Cassiopeia gave him a weak smile before turning to her oldest brother, Phoenix and said, 

"W-aat-er" Her tone sounded scratchy. 

Phoenix rushed to her with a glass of water as Atlas cradled an emotional Roxanne in his arms,

"We were so worried..." Orion whispered and he kissed his daughter's forehead. Cassiopeia smiled softly at her father, 

"I am here, Dad.." She spoke softly before resting her head on his chest as he embraced her, Meanwhile Phoenix and Cosmos kissed the top of her head affectionately,

"My pup.." Cassiopeia spoke as she jerked away from Orion's embrace, her eyes widened with fear and panic,

"He is alright, I will get him to you.." Roxanne said warmly before hugging her daughter and landed small kisses all over her face with tears streaming down her eyes,

"I am so glad you are okay." Roxanne said and walked off to get her grandson from his room. 

Atlas sighed heavily and kissed her forehead, 

"You scared us, Peia.." he wept silently whilst clutching her hand in his large ones. 

The Knox men were very protective over her. She smiled at the four of them, 

"Your son.." There stood Roxanne with the 23 days old baby in her arms, a gentle smile gracing her lips.
