I'll never leave

Episode Title:Love and betrayal
Vic had to skip school that day. He couldn't go back—not after everything. I know people will question his age—he acts way too mature for a five-year-old. But the truth is, he's not just any kid. He's a demon. A vampire. A witch. I know it sounds crazy, maybe even impossible… but my son is living proof.
He's tall—taller than most seven-year-olds—smarter than some teens, and honestly, heartbreakingly handsome. He's my baby, my pride, and the only piece of peace I had left.
We sat on the couch, the silence between Shawn and me thick—so thick you could slice it with a saw 🪚. I couldn't bring myself to speak. My heart was too heavy. So, I stood up and walked to our room. Moments later, Shawn followed.

I stood frozen by the window, staring blankly at the garden outside. It looked so peaceful—nothing like the storm that raged inside me. Shawn wrapped his arms around me from behind. I didn't move. I didn't push him away, but I didn't lean into him either. I was numb… too hurt to feel.
"I'm sorry," he whispered, pressing a soft kiss to my neck.
On any other day, that might've lit a fire in me. But not today. My mind was a mess—too clouded with pain to even think straight.
"Everything we shared…" My voice trembled, sadness lacing every word.
"I'm sorry," he said again. "I didn't mean to hide it from you."
"Then why didn't you tell me sooner?" I turned to face him, my eyes locking with his. His gaze held so much—regret, honesty… love.
"At first, it was just about the prophecy," he admitted. "But after you agreed to be with me… after spending time with you… I started falling for you. And it wasn't just a little crush, Alice. It grew. It became love. Real love. I didn't say anything because I thought it didn't matter. Because everything I felt for you was real."
I wanted to believe him. I really did. But the pain wouldn't let me.
"When Ciecily said she was pregnant, you suddenly wanted a baby too," I said, tears starting to fall. "I thought it was because you felt behind or guilty. But now I know—it was about the prophecy. You wanted us to have a son. That's all this ever was to you."
"No, baby, that's not it," he said, his voice shaking. "I saw how happy you looked when she shared her news. I thought you genuinely wanted a baby of your own too. I just… I wanted to give you that."
"Don't lie to me, Shawn." My voice cracked with bitterness. "There's nothing left to hide now. I know everything. Just—be honest. For once in your life."
That broke him. My words—my words—hurt him more than anything. I saw it in his eyes as the tears started falling… one, two, three. He tried to wipe them away quickly, but I saw them. I felt them.
And it broke me, too.
But I had to stay strong.
"I'm really sorry," he whispered. "You can hit me, scream at me, anything. Just… don't push me away. Don't think I don't love you. Please, Alice…"
I let out a shaky breath, holding back a sob.
"Do you think I don't want peace between the three clans? Do you think I don't want half-breeds to walk freely without fear? I want all of that, Shawn. I want my parents back together… I want everything."
He pulled me into his arms again, and this time… I didn't resist. Even in the middle of my pain, his arms felt like home. He still gave me the comfort I didn't know I needed. Even when I was mad, he stayed. He held me.
But how far is he willing to go… to prove he wants this—us—for real?
I wrapped my arms around him slowly.
"I want to forgive you," I whispered, my voice breaking. "Just… give me a reason. A real reason. Because right now… I'm taking my son and leaving. When you do have a reason—when you can truly make me believe again—you can come find me."
His arms tightened around me, not enough to hurt—just enough to make me feel like he didn't want to let go.
And the truth is… I didn't want to go.
I wanted to stay.
But I couldn't.

⚜️ Next on — I'll Never Leave by Zorry Sunblaze ⚜️
🩸🔥 Hell is bleeding. Love is cracking. And a Queen must choose.
I was ready to stay.
To give love another chance.
Shawn's kiss… his tears…
They almost pulled me back.
But just then—
A knock from the underworld.
> "Some rebel souls broke free… a little girl is dead."
The messenger's voice shook.
Even he was afraid.
Lucifer had failed.
And now, my throne in hell was under fire.
I couldn't take Vic.
My baby.
My light.
My son.
> "Shawn… take care of him for me," I said.
Then he kissed me like goodbye and hello at once.
Bitter. Sweet.
My heart broke.
Feren turned away, blushing—pretending not to see.
But even he knew…
The Queen was slipping through her lover's arms again.
> "Can I come with you?"
He asked.
But what about our son?
> "He can stay with Ciecy," Shawn said.
We both knew it wouldn't be easy.
Vic still feared the past.
He still blamed himself.
> "What if Keylen hates me?" he asked, teary-eyed.
I kissed his little head.
"He won't. You're a good boy."
But gods, it hurt.
We both cried.
Mother and son.
Two fragile hearts torn by a war we didn't start.
And as I stood to leave…
I wasn't just a mother.
Not just a lover.
Not just a queen.
I was fire.
I was death.
I was hell's reckoning.
> "Prepare for my return," I told the messenger.
But between us?
I wasn't sure I'd survive this time.
