HIS QUEEN
Chapter 37

The two days had gone in a blur with I and Thane spending time together. Although he still had to work but, it wasn't all the time.

We played games to pass time and he thought me how to throw a knife. We talked about stuffs and he was extremely affectionate.

I knew he had not forgotten his ex mate but I was certain he felt something for me. I know I did feel something for him. In fact I had fallen hard. I couldn't explain how I felt but I was happy whenever I saw him and felt butterflies whenever he smiled at him. I wanted to wake up beside him every morning and hopefully have a family together.

I was starting to feel feverish but the heat had not yet started. I had a cold shower and put on a singlet with shorts. I went to the Kitchen but there was no sign of Thane.

I went out on the porch and called out his name but there was no sign of Thane. I went back to the kitchen to get some water when I saw a post it note on the table.

Had to take care of something quickly. I'll be back soon.

I sighed and dropped the note. I curled up in the couch and went to sleep hoping he'll be back before the heat started fully.

I woke up hot and in pains. I figured Thane wasn't still here because of the pain. I stood but doubled over in pain.

I tried to reach Thane but the link was blocked. I knew if I tried to hard I was going to pass out. I managed to go upstairs and take another shower.

I slumped on the bed, curling in a ball and groaning in pains. I tried to text but I was too weak. I sobbed as I couldn't handle the pain.

I managed to get some sleep for a few hours but the pains woke me up. I screamed for Thane with all my might. My body called out to him. He was the only one who could stop the pain.

I screamed and called but he didn't come. I sobbed into the sheets blaming myself for getting marked and blaming him for marking me. Hell I blamed my mother for birthing me. The pain was becoming unbearable for my lithe body.

I spent the day in pain. Throwing up and passing out. And Thane was nowhere to be seen. The night was a horror. I was alone, in pains and scared.

I woke up a couple of times in the night still hoping he had come back but he still wasn't there.

By morning, I felt better. The worst part of the heat had passed and there was no need to remain in the cabin. I sent a text to Jairus to come get me.

I packed my things and waited outside. When he got there, I gave him a smile and got into the car.

He drove in silence and when we got to the castle. I went straight up to the room to relax. The heat had taken a toll on my body and I needed to relax. When I woke up, it was dark outside and there was a knock on the door. The door opened and Carlyn stood at the door.

"Hey" "Hi"

"I didn't know you were sleeping. I can come back later"

"It's fine. I'm awake already"

She sat down on the bed and held my hands in hers.

"I'm sorry I kept Thane with me all through yesterday" he was with her? I nodded but still didn't say anything.

"It's just that yesterday was Catalina's birthday. goddess bless her soul. She loved to celebrate it and so even after her death, Thane still celebrated her"

She continued speaking. "You know, nothing is more important to him on that day. And she's still the most important person to him even in death"

"THAT'S ENOUGH CARLYN" I turned to see him standing at the door. I was trying so hard not to cry in front of them.

"I will be going then" she walked past Thane and stopped at the door, giving me a smirk before she left the room.

"Why" I stood up, facing him. "Why did you leave me there"

"We weren't expecting it that day. I just needed to do it. I was going to come back immediately"

"You know. I was so fucking mad

that you left me by myself but I kept giving excuses for you. I kept telling myself you had something very important to do and I was ready to forget you left me by myself. But you were with her while I was going through pain"

"Baby......."

"I asked you if you were going to be there. You said you were. But you left me in pains" I wiped my eyes.

"I'm not asking you to pick between two of us but you can't keep doing this. You know firsthand how painful the heat was going to be and you still left me. When I needed you the most you weren't there " he wanted to talk but I held up my hands.

"Sooner or later, you'll have to choose" I walked out angrily, slamming the door on my way out went back to my old room. It was still the same way I left it. I decided I was going to stay here for the meantime.

Jairus came in. "I overheard the shouting. I'm sorry"

"You shouldn't be. It's not your fault"

"No. I feel guilty. You don't deserve to be treated this way"

I wiped my tears. He wanted to hug me but I stopped him.

"The heat"

"Right. Just try to relax and after the heat you decide what you want to do. If you want to leave, I swear I'll help you"

I shook my head. "It'll kill both of us"

He looked more angry when he remembered how painful it'll be if we got separated.

"I'm going to see that piece of shit"

"Please, don't fight him"

"I won't. I'm just going to give him a piece of my mind" I couldn't stop him as he left the room.
