Acceptance by Nicholas Bella

Acceptance by Nicholas Bella

I was so out of control last night and if my current physical condition is any indicator, my brothers definitely had their way with me. As far as my relationship with Theoden goes, I can’t help but feel drawn to him. I feel as though he’s accepting me as I’m accepting him in some morbid way. I don’t know… maybe it’s because I know I don’t have any choices. There’s no way out for me. I’m his and we both know it. Maybe there’s still some fight left in me, some little nugget of Noel the man that hasn’t been consumed by Noel… Read more.
