Jeren's POV
He was the light of my dark world—the world where my parents, grandparents, everyone wanted me to live the way they wanted. Ariel was the one who told me that we get only one life, so enjoy it.
Even after I got married, my parents didn't stop. Now they wanted it—the grandchildren. But I didn't say anything, because I was not in the condition to say no or yes. Most of the time, I was sleeping and doing nothing. But during my rut cycle, when I was on the other side of the palace, I told everyone not to come there. 'cause I was gonna spend my rut cycle alone since the supplements were not working.
But she came there—my newly wedded wife. My parents told her if she wanted to get pregnant, then she should be with me during the rut cycle. This was the easiest way for her to get pregnant. She wouldn't be thrown aside by me if she carried my child.
