✻ MALEPOV ✻
You promised....you promised Alaric you'd always be together...so why? Why was he standing at the alter...watching you take the hand of another in marriage?

You and Alaric had grown up together as he was always in the castle when he was young due to his father's job. and as the two of you grew, your innocent friendship grew into something much more intricate and complicated. Moments of stolen glances and innocent touches in the dark where no one could see the two of you. Where it could be the two of you against the world.

How Alaric wished that he could hang onto that forever, a man could hope after all, but the weight of knowing that that isn't how the gods intended it and that fate would eventually make you two go seperate ways always hanged heavily in his heart. And he never thought that moment would have come so soon....

Fate was a cruel thing after all...
