Cassian P.O.V
I had to write a letter to Rhys. He would re-write it and send it to Nesta. Isabella said I couldn't tell Nesta anything, not that Rhys can't tell her anything.
"Hurry up Cassian, I want you to meet your daughter."
Finally, I only had to follow Isabella around town and have her show me off to her friends. Sometimes I just wanted to leave her, I just want to see Nesta I can't live with the fact that she thinks I chose Isabella over her. But, I couldn't wait to meet my daughter. Miramelle, what happens if she has wings. I could teach her how to fly, fight, defend herself against any Illyrian. She could be a female general. Focus Cassian! You don't even know if she has wings. I really just need to finish this letter. Life without Nesta is not a life I want to live. I hope she can forgive me. I wonder if she was having fun without me in the Summer Court, with Eris. Just the thought of her with that ginger-haired asshole made me growl.

Nesta P.O.V
I can't live without Cassian. I couldn't sleep. Every time I closed my eyes I was being shoved in the damn cauldron. Or worst Elain was. Or that Feyre was killed trying to save me. Sometimes I woke up cover in flames. Eris would get tired of not sleeping or getting woken up by my screams. He would sleep in my bed and hold me in his arms. It was just a comfort to know he was there for me. Though I could never replace Cassian.
"Nesta?"
"Yes Tarquin? What is it?"
"You got a letter from Rhysand."
My heart sank. What if Feyre got hurt. What if Elain was hurt by Tamlin's lapdog, Lucien. I would tear that man limb from limb if he hurt my sister.
I quickly walked over to Tarquin and took the letter from his hands.
"Thank you Tarquin I will be downstairs for lunch shortly."
As soon as he left I ripped the letter open.
Dear Nesta,
Cassian isn't aloud to talk to you. He made a promise to Isabella that he wouldn't tell you anything.
I felt tears in my eyes as I read that bitch's name.
He wrote me this letter that he wanted me to send you. You must be confused, just read the letter and everything will make sence.
I read the letter. It explained every detail of how Isabella threatened him with his child. What is wrong with her threatening a male with his child. I was so happy. He didn't leave me. He still loved me. I understand why he wants to be part of his kids life. He always thought he wasn't good enough for anyone because he was a bastard. I flipped the page around to make sure there wasn't anymore writing.
Ps: meet him in the beach infront of the summer manor at midnight.
I would finally get to tell him that I want to accept the bond. I ran downstairs to the dinning room to tell Eris the good news. When I got downstairs. Eris was holding a letter.
"It's from Cassian." He said.
How could that be. Cassian. Never broke a promise. How. Ould he have written me a letter. I took it from Eris and opened it.
Nesta meet me at the edge of the Summer Court. Right now.
"I have to go Eris. I'll be back."
"Ok but nest-"
I winnowed away with the letter on my hand. As soon as I got to the edge of th court I saw a shadow.
"Cassian" I breathed barely more than a whisper.
The shadow got closer. So I spoke again
"I knew you would come back to me. You promised to protect me. Although I thought you wanted to see me at midnight."
"I knew Cassian would somehow fond a loophole in his promise and contact you."
The voice that spoke was not Cassian's voice but Isabella's.
"I want you to do something for me Nesta."
"Why would I ever do anything for you Isabella?" I practically spat her name.
"If you don't reject the mating bond and if you tell Cassian about any of  this. I will kill his daughter. Since you are meeting him at midnight you can do it tonight."
"You would kill your own child?"
I was horrified. This female was more insane then I thought.
"If I do not have a male in my life, especially the male that impregnated me, I would be considered a whore. And I just can't have that. Also Cassian is quite the looker."
Disgusting. She only wanted Cassian to keep her reputation clean and to have something pretty to look at.
I couldn't just have Isabella kill Cassian's child. I could heal my broken heart. But I could never live with myself knowing that I killed Cassian's child. Especially since fae children were so rare. I made up my mind I would have to break my own heart to save Cassian's child.
"Ok Isabella just don't hurt the child."
"Oh and you are not aloud to tell anybody else. I dont want Cassian finding out about this. Tata Nesta."
She said as she winnowed away.
