The Wolf Loving Mate knb

The winds blew roughly and heavy thunder threatened to destroy the earth. People scampered into their homes to shelter themselves from the coming rain.

Far away from the rest of the town, a woman, Nadia writhed in pain within a cave. She was heavy with child and due at any moment.

"It'll be over soon" her lover, Phil whispered in her ear while clutching her hands tightly.

The woman shook her head. "I want it gone. Now" she raised her voice in anger.

The door opened slightly and another woman, Vane put her head through the doors.

"How is she coping?" She directed the question to the man.

"When can you get this thing out of me" Nadia yelled before Phil could respond to Vane.

A scowl crossed Vane's face and she stepped into the room, shutting the door.

"You still have so much distaste for the child you harbor within you"

"I do not want it. I've never wanted it" Nadia yelled getting more upset.

"It's a she" Vane lost her temper.

"You high need to calm down," Phil said trying to ease some of the tension.

"Tell her to take it out," Nadia said. That was her only concern, getting the babe out of her stomach.

"You know it's impossible. The child will make an appearance when she chooses to" Vane said in a calm voice.

"Isn't there anything we can do for her?" Phil asked.

"No. She should have thought of the consequences before jumping into this"

Nadia scoffed. "Believe me, if I had known it would be anything like this, I won't have agreed to birth this cursed child"

"She's not cursed. She's a gift"

"What gift brings destruction"

"It's not destruction if she puts an end to evil. She's the child of the prophecy. The one who will bring an end to a reign of terror. The key to the sword" Vane said with so much passion.

"You're delusional Vane. He cannot be killed"

"The prophecy says otherwise"

"The prophecy may be false"

"Don't speak blasphemy" Phil and Vane yelled at her simultaneously.

"Why did you agree to this then?" Phil asked in a calm voice. If she hated the idea of the child so much, why did she agree to this?

"Because I couldn't bear to lose you. You had been chosen by the damned prophecy and you were going to father a child with another woman. I couldn't take it. But now....." Nadia trailed off. Nobody had a single idea how much she regretted her reckless decision back then.

"Nothing has changed" Phil tried to console her but she was having none of it.

"Everything has changed. You're all consumed with the damned prophecy. Obsessed with a sword we aren't even sure to find. It's like I don't know you anymore" she cried. 

Phil cupped her face lovingly.
