King Harvey sits on the edge of our bed with his head in his hands. I say nothing as I enter the room and lock the door behind me. He sighs when I sit beside him and place my hand on his knee.
“Talk to me.” I say to him.
King Harvey heavily exhales, a long almost howling escapes his lips. “My parents visited earlier while you slept. They say that your powers are going to make you a massive target for the other kingdoms. My cousin lives in hell. I don’t wish for my wife and our future kin to suffer because of this. Because of me.”
“You?” I laugh bitterly as my heart cracks in half cleanly. “I am the human here.”
“I should have taken you as a mistress…” King Harvey whispers as I feel the need to throw up.
“WHAT?!” I scream, taking his face in my hands. “What the hell?!”
