A War Not Yet Won {Thorin Oakenshield Sequel to My Heart My Mountain My King}

Chapter 12 - Proper Reasoning

The next day, things were pretty quiet. No one said much to each other. I was still torn about my marriage or my species survival. I decided that it was time to talk to Thorin about it rationally.

I sought him out and found him deep within the treasure horde.

"Dear?" I quietly spoke.

"What do you want?" he replied.

"We need to talk," I said as I walked over to him. I sat next to him on a pile of gold.

"About what?"

"I think you know what about."

He rolled his eyes. "Well, what would you like to do?"

"I will do whatever you allow me to do."

"Fine. I don't want your ex-fiancé in my kingdom any longer. He may seek to poison your mind."

I furrowed my brows. "But, he just got out of exile...he is sick and weak."

"I care not."

"Thorin-"

"That is my final word. You are my wife. I will not consciously have you going off to canoodle with your past lover."

I crossed my arms. "It's for the survival of my kind, Thorin."

He walked up to me in frustration, yet gently put his hands on my shoulders, trying to keep his temper. "Jaedda. If you go through with this, you will not only have to do it once, but several times. What if you have two children in a row of the same gender? What then? It won't stop."

I looked down. "But I-"

"And also, you will have to be closer to Teodric than you are to me, for he will be the father of your children. You don't want them to feel abandoned, do you?"

I shook my head. "No..."

"And what would my reputation crumble to if word spread through Middle-Earth, that my wife the Nymph, sacrificed her body to another, to have pure blood children of her own species?"

I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. My head dropped low.

"I don't know what to do."

"I love you, no matter what," Thorin assured. "But if you choose that path, you are no longer my wife."

And with that, he walked silently off.
