Cursed
Sabrina's POV
The storm is over, I guess. Although things have really been a bit tense. So apparently, Kyle blackmailed Kayden into handing over his pack then Kayden was so audacious that he came here for the sole purpose of trying to get me to sleep with him as payback?
The more I tried to wrap my head around it, the more I ended up confused.
We headed back that night after the nasty thing we both did in that room. I hid away from him and refused to see him just because I was now embarrassed. I thought he would tease me about it, but he didn't.
We didn't fight much anymore and it was quite bearable seeing him at the dining table while we had breakfast with the kids.
He left for work so once again, I was such a stay at home wife and I was slowly becoming lazy. Before he left I begged him to let me bake cookies for fun, and for the kids as well.
He kissed me on my cheeks and told me that I didn't need to ask for his permission anymore to do whatever I want. That was a real turn on, but I'm still not sleeping with him until I'm sure he's no longer crazy.
I went back to bed after the kids left for school. I slept for a few hours before finally taking a shower and heading to the kitchen to bake the cookies. I didn't want any help so I excused the chef. I put Marcie on video call and we chatted as I baked for a full hour.
I felt so good and right to have a friend and I loved every second of it. When I brought out the cookies from the oven, she was so proud of me and wished she could be here to have some.
Maybe soon I could invite her over. I'll have to ask Kyle first anyway, just because I had to and it was truly the right thing to do.
We got off the call and I made myself lunch, and also some for the kids because I was expecting them any minute now.
In the nick of time, they came into the house together in their tiny little bags and lunch boxes, looking so adorable. Times like this I was more than happy to be a mom, times like this when I felt so good.
I handed them both two cookies each and handed them over to Theresa. I wonder what happened to my hardworking version.
I took a glass of punch from the fridge and served myself more cookies on a plate, then headed outside just because I wanted the cool breeze. Of course I didn't plan to start thinking about my kids, but I did.
Some weird things were happening with them and even though I tried to pretend, to act like everything was okay, I still felt incomplete and knew that deep down, something was off.
Ellie would go into a room, and I would be so sure she was in there but suddenly, I would see her come in from another spot in the house. It would make me go crazy for a bit, trying to think of a time when I missed her or something.
The same was for Ethan, but it was different. His wound healed faster than what was considered normal. It freaked me out.
I had decided not to bother myself with it after his surgery, but it happened again. Now the injury was gone like it was never there, just days after. It was hard to process all these things and I knew that if I was asked if I was going crazy or already crazy, I wouldn't deny it.
Another thing that really made me worry was my husband. Sure, he wanted to fuck me and all, but he's still my ex-husbands enemy and he married me for revenge.
He already made that clear. What was he planning and if he succeeded before the two years elapsed, would he send me away? Did he truly love me and my kids enough?
Sometimes I couldn't believe that I was trusting the enemy. What did getting married to him even benefit him? I saw no benefit, not even a single one in sight. There was no need to get married.
I didn't even have to go see his grandma after that day, and he barely talked about her. I will confront him about it whenever I remember because who doesn't go see their own grandma or at least update me on her well being?
I drank the whole glass of orange juice in one go, feeling incredibly parched. I ate the cookies slowly because I didn't want them to be over with that fast and that was really enough for the day.
I just zoomed into my own mind again, so lost in thought. I didn't even know when Kyle came out to find me. I guess he came back on time today.
“Sabrina, are you okay? Why are you outside?” I saw panic flash through his eyes, and it scared me a bit as he rushed at me.
“What do you mean? Yes I'm fine.” I got off the chair immediately and he threw his arms over my shoulders, hugging me affectionately for the first time since I married him. I didn't know I needed it until he did it, so I just wanted to cry a bit. I guess I had more things to cry about, because the next words from his mouth completely destabilized me.
He pulled away and looked at me, sighing occasionally like he had something at the top of his tongue that he couldn't say.
“What? What's going on? Did something happen?”
“Then I guess you're not aware of the news circulating?”
“What news? Tell me!” He took a deep breath.
“Don't panic, but there's rumors being spread about you. It's not even a rumor anymore since it came from a supposed messenger. I'll meet him to find out the validity of this news.”
“What did he say?”
“He said you're unfit to be my Luna, that you're cursed and you'll ruin the throne.”
“What?”
“I know it's not true. Come on, let's go inside.”
