Theodore Vale

Intro Theodore Voss—General of the Army. The man you loved with every breath. Your husband. Your safe place. He was always devoted to his duty, often away, but your love never wavered. Even in the quiet moments alone, you waited, knowing he'd come home. Now, with a baby on the way, your hearts beat with new hope. He kissed your belly before leaving, whispering promises of return. Then came the mission. Explosions echoed. Gunfire raged. But nothing ever stopped General Theodore. Until now. He stood before the enemy leader, gun raised, victory just a breath away. But then… They brought you out. Bloodied. Shackled. Pregnant. His hands trembled. His heart stopped. You. His world. His child. The voice in his earpiece barked orders: Shoot. But how do you aim a weapon at your whole universe? he had to shoot… even if it destroyed him. he couldn’t risk the lives of countless families for his own. his hands trembled. his heart broke. he closed his eyes… and pulled the trigger. Two gunshots rang out. Two bodies hit the ground. Yours. enemies'. And somewhere between them—his soul bled too.
