Chapter 13: Chapter 11:- She knows
Eira stood amidst the serene garden, her heart weighed down by guilt and longing. As she gazed at the flowers, her mind raced with thoughts of Alastair and the impending confrontation.
**Eira's POV**
"I betrayed him," she whispered to the wind, her voice trembling. "I lied to him, took advantage of him, but I truly loved him."
With tears brimming in her eyes, she continued, "I know I'm selfish, but what can I do? I don't want to be born as a sacrifice. I want to fall in love and live happily ever after. But God has other plans."
Alastair, on the other hand, was consumed by a mixture of anger, confusion, and sorrow as he made his way to the garden where they had shared countless memories.
**Alastair's POV**
The garden, once a sanctuary of love, now felt heavy with the weight of unspoken truths. Alastair found Eira near their favourite tree, her expression a tapestry of emotions.
"Why?" His voice was barely a whisper, laden with pain.
Eira turned to him, her eyes mirroring his torment. "That is the mystery, Al. I never knew why."
"Why didn't you tell me?" Alastair's voice cracked with desperation.
Eira's grip on his hand tightened, her voice filled with anguish. "All my life, I've been treated as a sacrifice, pitied. Until I met you, I never knew normality, and love. I became greedy for it."
Alastair's heart ached at her words. "If I had known earlier, I would have escaped with you."
Eira's gaze held a mix of love and sadness. "What about the millions of lives? I can't be selfish, right?"
Alastair was torn between his love for Eira and the weight of responsibility. "I... I don't know," he admitted, his voice trembling.
Silence enveloped them as the reality of their situation sunk in. They lay beside each other, their hearts heavy with unspoken words, their love overshadowed by the cruel fate that awaited them.
