"She's blind," I acknowledged.
"Yes," Voithós answered. "This man's name is Hendrick, he was only but a lowly Omega. And this woman's name is Aurelia. She was one of the most beautiful women during this period, but she was unfortunate to have lost her eyesight due to a terrible illness during childhood. She was originally the Alpha's mate, but he rejected her because she was blind, despite her beauty and her grace and even the fact that her uncle is the Alpha of another Pack. She was mostly treated unfairly by everyone around her due to her disability.
Hendrick lost his mate a long time ago. She died young, and when he realized this, he decided to stay alone since it was evident that no woman in the pack would accept him. But when he met with Aurelia, he instantly fell in love with her, and she got to like him a lot as well. They started out as good friends, but he later took her as a mate. At this time, Hendrick had just acquired the book, which is the goddess's lost miracle from a merchant, and he wanted to see if it actually worked," Voithós said, and the people in the scene who seemed to have been previously paused continued their conversation just like we weren't even there.
"Work was fine, thank you. How is the baby?" he questioned and took a seat beside her. "The baby is fine, although he has been very naughty lately. I guess he's really eager to finally come into the world and gaze at all its wonder and beauty. I'm just glad that my child will be able to enjoy what I couldn't. He'll be able to see his surroundings and the beauty it holds," she said dreamily with a smile, and my heart clenched at her words.
I could almost feel her pain because I'm in a similar situation in reality. Despite not being blind, not being able to speak makes me feel the same pain she does. The inferiority and the abuse have always been the biggest problem of people like us who have disabilities that can't be helped.
"Don't speak like that, dear. You're perfect. I love you just the way you are, and that's all that matters. Besides, how are you so sure it's going to be a boy? It could be a girl. I want our child to be a girl," Hendrick said and kissed her forehead.
"I just know that I'm going to have a son. Trixie thinks so as well," Aurelia said, and I instantly knew that Trixie was her spirit wolf.
"My dear, I have a surprise for you," Hendrick said and brought out the satchel. He then brought out a big and beautiful-looking book.
