She started doubting if he was really her mate or not. This situation reminded her of her brother's words.
When she was completely sure that her husband left, she removed her covers and took her clothes. Wearing them, she left her hair open before slipping under the covers again.
Adira started thinking about the things that were happening around her. She didn't like this awkward situation in her home.
She can't talk with her brother freely like she used to do before. Even if she talks, there would be eyes that will watch her. She doesn't want to be under surveillance. This wasn't settling well with her.
As she thought about it her husband was being bipolar.
He was the one who was making her suffer. And even again expecting her to be involved with her sexually with him.
What kind of a man was he?
Didn't he call her useless, brainless, and a dumb woman?
Didn't he say she was good for nothing?
Didn't he tell her she was of no use?
Or was this his way of saying that she can only be used for sex nothing more or nothing less?
Looks like it's that way.
So… he was calling her a whore. Now she realized what her sister-in-law felt in the early night. No wonder her sister-in-law left the chambers the moment she rested in the chambers. There were even rumors saying that her sister-in-law had gotten rid of everything that was touched by her and used by her in that chambers.
Tears slipped her eyes as she thought about herself and herself. What did they get themselves into it?
The words of Elphaba Glory rang in her ears. "End with what it started," These words were ringing in her ears.
What does she mean?
Adira couldn't figure it out. As she continued to think, she couldn't come up with everything. She slept in fear and confusion.
Fear due to her husband and confusion about her future.
She doesn't know how to deal with these problems. Maybe she should just sleep off that way she would have a fresh and clean mind in the early night tomorrow. With a sigh and with her overthinking thoughts. She slept almost immediately after closing her eyes.
Poor Adira or Poor Lenora doesn't know that there were few things that were awaiting them in the future for them.
--------------
Next day during breakfast...
After finishing her breakfast, Lenora passed a smile to everyone and got up from her seat without even looking at her husband. She doesn't want to look at him or be with him. Just the thought makes her sad, and let's talk about his presence and the effect he has on her. Being with him would only make her feel more disturbed and sad. It would be toxic for her. She doesn't want to torment herself or put herself in toxic situations.
She just wants to escape from this emotional pain and these things. The emotional pain was more hurting than physical pain. She doesn't want to go through the same or double pain that she went through two years ago.
The farther she stayed away from him the farther pain would be. She knew staying away from him might not help her but it would make it bearable. Now all she need was a diversion. A big diversion that can keep her away from the thoughts of Maximus.
That was concentrating on finding the culprit of her sister's murder.
After thinking for a long time, she decided to concentrate on finding her sister's murderer.
With a sigh, she continued walking toward her chambers.
Eudora felt like things were going back to the time from two years now. Her attitude was now similar to the time before she came to Werewolfia. She was worried now. Directly or indirectly her son was the reason. She shook her head at the behavior of her children. Maybe it's time for her to interfere in their lives and make some moves. This wasn't any good for them or their race or their lives. And his father wouldn't even care about him. He never cared about his children's lives. She has to take care of them singlehandedly.
And now Zaros's behavior affected his sister's life too. Eudora could see the change in her daughter's life. In a single night, she was back to square one. All it took was a single night, which means she could imagine the hurt.
Even she was a woman, even she faced her husband's ignorance. She knew how it would feel to face her husband's ignorance. It would be like losing your heart. No matter how hard you try to ignore them, those feelings would never fade away. His every presence in her life, his touch, his breathing, his scent everything made her heart hurt.
Neither could she get over them nor can forget them. All she could do was gulp them down and endure them. As the Queen and the King, all they could do was adjust to their marital life to keep up the appearances.
And her daughter would have to go through the same experience along with her son. All the credit goes to his son.
Adira was worried about her sister-in-law from last night. When she saw her distressed face and her expression, she realized what her sister-in-law was going through. She badly wanted to do something about her situation but couldn't come up with an idea. The Witch spoke everything in riddles.
If she gets an idea of her words, she would start unlocking the knots. Even she got up and walked away to her chambers. She didn't glance at her husband. She acted as if he didn't even exist.
Zaros was shocked at the changing behavior of his wife. She was trying to stay away from him. Adira was even ignoring his presence making him feel like he was wrong.
Zaros was getting annoyed with everyone's accusations and the questioning glances that were thrown in his way.
