Today was a celebration for Delilah. We don't know what it is for though. The people of Sanctum were very happy about it so we matched their energy being that we wanted them to like us and help us build our compound.

I was downstairs in the tavern watching everyone chatter and prepare for the event when I realized Jordan still wasn't down yet.

"Hey I'm goanna see why Jordan's taking so long." I sigh, patting Clark's shoulder as I walk up to our shared room

I open the door without knocking and my eyes widen in shock. I saw Jordan in our bed with Delilah on top of him, naked. They both haven't noticed me yet so I just quietly closed the door and rushed downstairs.

"Where's Jordan?" Clarke asks as I sat down next to her

Before I could answer, Maddie and Eden come downstairs, looking around the room

"What's going on?" Maddie asks

"I think it's some sort of celebration." Clarke shrugs

"It's naming day! And you're the guests of honor." Delilah's father explains as he presents a platter of cookies to Eden and Maddie

They look as us for approval and we nod our heads, causing them to immediately take a cookie.

They take a bite and smile at the flavor. It was Eden's first time even having sugar so she was exited.

"Haha! I know. Having a good cookie can change your life." Delilah's father smiles warmly

Jordan comes downstairs with a grin on his face but once his eyes land on me and Eden, I could already see the guilt. I decided to pretend like I didn't know just to see how long it would take for him to confess.

This is why we say "love is weakness" you should listen to me and me only. Get revenge and kill the girl

No... I'm not going to do that I'll end up causing a war.

What if there's a way to make it look like an accident?

No it's wrong! Leave me alone!

"Hey guys." Jordan slightly smiles

"There she is! Here's Delilah" a woman yells followed by applauses

Delilah rushes up to me and engulfs me into a hug, "my hero!"

I stiffen up for a second but calm down quickly and wrap my arms around her.

"How are you feeling?" I ask as nicely as I could

"I feel great!" Delilah smirks as she glances at my husband slyly

If only I could slit her th-

"I'll be the judge of that. Let's have a look at you. You too Aurora." Cillian cuts in

"...last question: what do you remember from when you were paralyzed?" Cillian asks Delilah

"Only everything."

"Well, don't worry. After tonight, it'll be like it never happened. You're good." Cillian reassures with a smile

"Thank you." Delilah smiles back before walking away

"Now for you." Cillian gently grasps my hand

"I told you, I'm fine." I roll my eyes

"Well, I told Clarke I'd make sure of that. Damn I'm good." Cillian chuckles as he looks at my now healing cut
