The years passed and prince Aemon was forced to marry Jocelyn Baratheon who gave birth to a little girl two years after they married. Aella Targaryen was raised by Serena Targaryen and her own mother, growing up alongside her cousins and parents.

Serena's relationship with Baelon didn't get better. They were civil with each other and somewhat friends at times but nothing beyond that. The two were content with it as it was their duty to remain together for the rest of their lives. Jocelyn and Serena were the best of friends. Just as Jocelyn was friends with her husband, prince Aemon. The two were friends in their marriage, Jocelyn had loved another and Aemon loved another as well.

So, Jocelyn became closer to Serena as Aemon became closer to Ser Adrian Dayne, a friend to both Serena and Aemon. That was the only way the four could be with the people they loved. Jocelyn and Serena grew close as their pregnancies were around the same time. By then, Princess Serena had six children. Four sons, Viserys, Daemon, Baelor and Rhaegar. And her two daughters, Rhaenys and Rhaena. Jocelyn gave birth to a girl, a little girl she named Aella. Princess Serena gave birth to twin girls, who she named Visenya and Viserra in the name of the first queen and the queen's daughter who perished just a few months prior.

Queen Alysanne loved Serena. Despite Baelon's indifference to her, she her. Serena loved Baelon, or she showed them that she did. Serena loved Baelon, not as she once did but she did care for him as he was once her greatest love. She spent years loving him only to have him betray her in the worst way possible. She forgave it as she too was having her own affair but she thought if her husband was having one, why shouldn't she have one as well?

Princess Serena stated she would bear no more children as she already eight. But, when princess Alyssa lost yet another child, everything crumbled once again. Baelon returned to his sadistic self as he did whenever Alyssa would loose a child. That time, Aemon arrived after being informed by Serena's maid that the prince was enraged and hurting Serena. Aemon rushed to see what was happening but he had arrived too late. Serena laid in bed. There were no tears on her face. She had learned to take it with a stiff lip. It was her duty as Baelon's wife to provide him with as many children as he wished for, whether she wanted more children or not.

Days after, prince Baelon confronted his brother. "Do you love her?" Baelon had asked him. "What?" he asked, clearly confused by the question. "Serena. Do you still love her?" Baelon asked him. Aemon said nothing. Of course he did. He would always love her. "Why are you asking me this?" Aemon asked him. "I see the way you look at her, Aemon. You look at her the same way I look at Alyssa" he replied. Aemon loved his sister, he did. She was his sister after all but he hated that she was the cause of her sister's pain. Baelon had been his best friend, his closest ally whilst growing up, but he betrayed him and not only that, he betrayed Aemon's best friend, Serena.

"You've always known what I felt for her. I never hid it from you. Yet, you betrayed me" he told him. "She was at fault too" Baelon replied and Aemon scoffed at his replied. Aemon looked at him then. "Her only fault was the love she bore for you" there was a brief moment of silence between the two. "You knew she loved you! You knew she would never deny you anything and you used it to your own advantage" Aemon knew that she had loved Baelon way before she loved him. He never minded, as it was something that happened before them.

Baelon knew it too. He had always known it. But, for the first time he had something Aemon didn't. Baelon, despite everything loved his brother. He did. They grew up together. And Serena was always there. They did everything together. Where one was, the other two were right beside each other. "She loved you, Baelon. But you destroyed whatever little love she had for you" he said before he walking away.

Baelon had a feeling. That Aemon wanted his wife, he did not know that he already had her but, what he didn't know couldn't hurt him. So, he sailed for Dragonstone with his family. He knew he would have to leave Alyssa behind but he would not let Aemon get his wife. Nearly eight moons later, princess Serena gave birth to another son. Prince Maegor was all her, brown locks and purple eyes. At age thirty, princess Serena had nine children. Five sons and four daughters.

A lot had changed since the two left King's Landing. Viserys and Dameon were five and ten. Rhaneys and Rhaena were ten and three. Baelor was one and ten. Rhaegar was ten. Visenya and Viserra were seven and Maegor was five. Finally, there was peace. At least that's what the children saw from their parents. Serena made sure her children knew nothing of the abuse, it was for the best. At least that's what she thought.

The princess had been named the lonely wolf by the maids and staff of Dragonstone. It was said that she was always sad. The only time she smiled was when her children were present, they were the light of her life. When Jocelyn Baratheon dies giving birth to another child Baelon and his family return to court to show their support to the Targaryen family. Jocelyn wrote to her everyday, the two were always communicating and they even found a way for whe to write to Aemon too.

Princess Serena seemed to have not aged at all in the last six years she had been gone. She still looked as beautiful and young as ever. Her children seemed so ethereal to everyone. With their mixed looks of Targaryen, Baratheon, Velaryon and Stark. All of her children had dragons, all hatching in their cradle.

Aemon watched her from afar. She was as beautiful as ever. She had seen him too. She looked at him, a glint of love was in her eyes. The love of her life was there, staring right at her. She smiled before looking away to her children were they spoke with their grandparents and their cousins. She saw Rhaenys with Corlys. He had been the man she had fallen for through letters and their had been talk of marriage.

Princess Alyssa was there too. Her husband stood beside her. No children in sight but her brother, Baelon had nine. She once had promised him an army. Twenty children she had said. Not one did she ever gave him. Saera had once told her the gods had punished her and Baelon for being cruel to Serena. For making her unhappy and miserable with their treacherous act. And perhaps she was right. Aemon wanted to approach her but every time she noticed him walking towards her she would run off.

They would have to talk. There was no going back. At least not then. Specially when the truth comes out and everything falls apart. Will the house of the dragon remain united or will the house of the dragon destroy itself?
