Another Au! But this time the two are meeting before the fold and become friends who later turn into lovers..but Baghra causes the two to be torn apart in the beginning of the realtionship which leads to the events of S&B and the fold..So when the t...
Months had gone by and that's when I'd heard about the war being over, he'd won the war and yet he was now wanted by the King. My family and I created our first family fake death as we were going to do whatever was necessary to stay alive. We went somewhere and waited it out till things were better.
Months turned into years and Sierra was upset cause her fiance was killed..oh and did I mention she was pregnant? We did the best we could to calm her but it didn't help. Her stress levels were off the chart and she ended up losing the child as I heled her close. I didn't know what she was going through..well I partially knew. The rumors that the 'black heretic' as they were calling Aleksander now. Father was pissed in fact he tried to take everything that connected me to Aleks but I pushed him off keeping the jewelry.
"He is not..they're wrong..Father I can find him. I can prove he's not power hungry." I said as father look displeased.
When we resurfaced it had to be in sections first my grandparents, then my father, mother and Aunt and then me and my siblings. Anisa was dead and now I was Alysia so I had to stick with it going forward. We all had to do things and I was the rock for Sierra holding her strong after losing..everything. "You'll fall in love again." I said assuring her as Sierra was strong.
Keeping focused was everything but then Aunt Analise caught the eye of a noble so we were able to live with a noble within Ravka. It was so serious that they married so now we had connections to nobility which wasn't bad. Yet they wanted us to walk around in nice clothes instead of our own so we were given things to wear. I didn't mind but it got annoying when the servants tried to nit pick at me for my necklace and ring as I reminded them I never took them off.
All I could think about was Aleks so I just had to wait and hearing about another general with shadows I knew it was him. I could just feel it within my gut but then I heard that the king was wanting to build a 2nd army. I thought I was not hearing it right but I heard that kids were being tested to be Grisha.
What are you doing Aleks? I thought
After so long we were all being gathered for a party called a winter fete. My uncle by marriage insisted on bringing us along so I chose to give in and he dressed us up how he felt we needed to look. Sierra and my parents didn't mind as my grandparents were going to just stay in, my brother walked in with my dress as I sat at a vanity and looked at him in the mirror. "Time to get dressed up Amira" Aiden said

I dressed up with my brother's help as he looked in the mirror we both knew I'd see Aleks tonight. "Hey, you get to see him again. You should smile." He said as I looked at my brother knowing it wasn't easy. "I hope so..last time was good but.." I knew I wanted to have kids and get married but I was waiting for a man..for him. "What if he's not your soulmate? You saw the marks on your mom and dad..what if you're meant for someone else." Aiden asked
"I want him Aiden..only him." I said as he nod in understanding. I couldn't explain why but I'd wait forever for him as we went.
When we went I was just ready to get it over with as I wasn't one for parties but then I saw him. His eyes looked up meeting mine and I was just done up as if I was part of a noble family and he walked. I saw him motioning to people on where to go as he was leading and I felt so out of place.
When the music started people were trying to get partners and a few nobles approached me but I turned them down. I wasn't interested in such things as I looked at my sister who had accepted a dance from a noble and I smiled knowing she was doing well. When I felt someone grab my hand I looked about to say something when I saw it was Aleks and he led me out there without my permission. I looked at him knowing he just took some random girl to the people here out on the dance floor as we started to dance to the music among people.
"So, Alysia you seem very over dressed.." He whispered in my ear as we danced as it was easy for him to whisper to me considering he hovered over me even with two inch heels putting me at 5'5.. he was 6'1. "What can I say General? My aunt married into nobility." I said as he looked at me seeing I was serious knowing that it wasn't going to be easy to overlook this.
In fact as we danced I saw my uncle by marriage looking at us and knowing the truth that I was betrothed to a General. Aleks was that General but that didn't mean that I liked the way things were right now. We danced for awhile before he took me out of there using shadows to get us out easily and to a large room. I guessed his war room as I kicked off the heels deciding to just deal with barefoot. Heels were the worse to wear in this day and age as I walked over seeing the table and the fold.
"Current?" I asked as he nod and looked at the way things were on the table "I never wanted this to be the way it is..with the fold and grisha..I lost my temper. I used Merzost the forbidden science." He said as I looked over the map and seeing he was doing well. "And your healer?" I asked as I looked up and seen the pain in his eyes realizing maybe I shouldn't have asked. "I'm sorry.." I said as he shook his head and took my hand placing it on his cheek. "You never said it but you're right..you're the only one for me. You realized that when we were teenagers.."
I was speechless knowing it wasn't going to be easy but he seemed to know some things. "How could you t-" he cut me off as he kissed me and I kissed him back. He lifted me up and sat me on on the table where nothing was in the way as we kissed. "When we were together in that forest..it showed you had more strength than I did..you're stronger than me in some ways." He said as I knew we couldn't be like this if anything went wrong. "I love you and we'll get our chance..but Baghra will still try to intervene." I said as He nod but kept hold of me. "Once I know I can keep you always, I'm never letting you go..maybe it's not this time..maybe we have to meet like this a few more times but I promise we'll have a life together." He said
We spent time together while we could but he was right we couldn't be together yet as something caused us to go separate ways again.
This happened a few more times but soon we'll get that chance.
