THE BATTLE WAS OVER , RAMSAY SNOW BOLTON FELLED. he should be CELEBRATING , should be patting the men who fought valiantly at his side on the back , but he rushes to his aunt's ──── mother's side. his MOTHER , a secret the she - wolf of house stark had dropped in his lap prior to the battle. he'd hardly the time to process the information , left with a PROMISE to discuss things after they had won. but lyanna had been INJURED in the chaos , fighting with her wolf alongside his men. it had ENRAGED the young man , his ears roaring as he watched her clutch at her wound , watched her blood pool beneath her. in his rage , jon had driven longclaw through his enemies , making a path toward her with ghost at his side.

HE KNEELS AT LYANNA'S BEDSIDE , nearly pushing aside the maester tending to her wounds. grey eyes rove her person , checking for anything the maester may have missed. once he is satisfied with his lack of discovery , he orders the maester to LEAVE them.

" THE MAESTERS SAY YOU LOST a significant amount of blood , " jon utters once the door closes , granting them privacy. his eyes wander to the bucket of water atop the bedside table , red with the she - wolf's blood , soiled bandages left discarded within. he closes his eyes and grits his teeth. " why had you never told me that you're my mother ? why did my lord fa ──── lord stark sully his own name to keep your secret ? "

HIS EYES OPEN , and jon struggles to meet her gaze. reluctantly , he takes her hand in his own and offers a gentle squeeze. " were you so ASHAMED of me that you had to HIDE me away? "
