Melodramatic as she was, the mental stress of trying to shun the child managed to break her down enough that everything stopped. She hadn't wanted to hurt him. She hadn't wanted anything to do with him. She'd had plans for him in the past, but without Caillen, there was no place for Cernunnos in her life. Ezekiel had ruined it. Padded palms pressed against her eyes as she listened to her father's orders that she and Cotl stay away, that he wouldn't let them hurt the boy further. Relief came over her. It'd been the right choice to take him to Gabriel, but there had been other options. With the death of the merle wolfdog, she'd wanted to do something else with the child.
"He needs to go to Alaine." Her words were spoken softer than usual, filled with grief at the thought that Alaine deserved anything from her life, but she knew the collie deserved it. After all, her son was dead, and it was the fault of the autumn princess and golden King. Only Talitha could make amends for what her brother had done, but she was willing if it meant her son would belong. "I can't take him to her. I can't face her again...but he belongs there, he needs to go to Alaine."
