HIS QUEEN novel Chapter 15

Who was Catalina? I looked at him in confusion as I answered.

"Who is Catalina?" he didn't answer as he dragged me out of the room. Servants in the hallway looked at us as he dragged me past them. Jairus was in the hallway as we passed.

"What is going on?" he ignored him and kept on pulling me. Thane opened the door and pushed me inside. I tripped and landed on the floor. I looked at the room. It was the room Jairus had asked me to sleep in. But who was Catalina? The owner of the faint lavender scent?

"It was me who asked her to stay here." Jairus spoke up.

"How dare you disrespect Catalina like that? You had no fucking right to bring a common slave in here" that hurt. Common slave?

"She is your mate" Jairus said calmly.

"And so is Catalina" oh.. this was his dead mate's room. I had no idea.

"Who has been dead for over four hundred years" the sickening sound of a bone cracking resonated the room. Thane had punched Jairus.

"Everyone is forbidden from coming into this room. Especially the help." He walked out slamming the door. Jairus rushed to aid me but I refused. I stood up on my own and went to my room. Thane's words resounding in my head. Help? Common maid? I laughed bitterly what did I expect? Fairytale ending my foot. I locked my room and slid down the door. Sobs wracking my chest. I headed to the bathroom to clean of the blood from the claw marks on my arms.

I spent the remainder of the day in my room weeping silently. Someone knocked on the door but I ignored it.

Two days had passed since the incident. Jairus came to my door a couple of times but I ignored him. I knew it wasn't his fault but I didn't want see anybody. My meals were dropped at the door but I couldn't bring myself to eat anything. Apple and a slice of cheese where the only things I could keep down. The rest of the food ended up in the toilet. I felt extremely weak and nauseous this last two days .

On the third day, I could barely move about. I lay in bed all day. The door was knocked down when I screamed in pain. Jairus rushed to me as I threw up blood. My entire body was feverish and my mark throbbed in pain. I became unconscious when my body could no longer handle the pain.

I slipped in and out of consciousness throughout the night. Each time I woke up somebody was beside the bed. By morning, I felt I was going to die. My whole body ached and my head throbbed. There were loud voices in the room.

"How could he leave. She is newly marked and a halfbreed at that. What the fuck was he thinking."

My eyes were blurry from tears. I couldn't identify the owner of the voice. Thane was the cause of the pain? Why did he leave? Was it to punish me? Too many questions crossed my mind.
