A COURT OF PAIN AND SORROW (ACOTAR FANFIC)

The Night Court

Nyx had fucked up. And he knew he fucked up. He did not even know why he said her name, he was not even thinking about her. He was thinking about Savanna. Perfect and sweet, his future wife, the peoples favorite Savanna. Not the rude, horrid average looking Verna. With her ginger-blonde hair, large dove eyes the colour of the forest and her full lips and the way they tasted when he held them in his mouth. He was hundred percent not thinking about that. Or the way she felt up on him.
He needed rest. Good rest. A full night sleep should of done it, however it did not. Nyx was thankful that Savanna did not tell anyone. He was starting to think that she did not hear him, until breakfast the day after and she would not meet his eye. He even tried to hold her hand under the table, she did not even look at him before she took her hand away. Seeing the two, the High Lady of the Night Court sighed before she rose her cup to her lips, she then put it down.

"Gwen." She called.

The priestess rose her head, she had been in a conversation with Nesta. And the two females seemed to be talking about something scandalous by the red blush on his cousins face.

"Yes, High Lady." Gwen answered.

Feyre did not even say anything, but only looked between Nyx and Savanna. Gwen only sighed before she nodded. Woman. Nyx could never understand them or how they seemed to talk inside their minds.

"Okay!" Lilith hit the table. "What happen between the two of you?"

"Uh?" Sails asked from his end of the table. "What's going on?"

"Nothing sweetheart." Nesta answered looking at her son, before turning her eyes to her mate. A question in them. Cassian only shock his head.

"Nyx and Savanna." Lilith answered.  "Answer me."

"Lilith." Rhysand warned. "Don't. I really don't want to hear lovers spat when I'm trying to eat."

"Well sorry!" She yelled sitting down. "But I'm trying to eat my breakfast and I cannot when it seems Nyx and Savanna are going to fuck on the table! Though that seems to run in the family. Fucking people on tables."

Feyre went a deep red, before she let out a little laugh. Even Nesta smirked as Cassian laughed. However, Savanna looked down at her lap. Not meeting the eye of either of her parents. Nyx did not say anything but he looked at his younger sister. As if to wonder why she would bring that up now.

"Nothing happened." Savanna answered. "Right Nyx?"

"Right." Nyx answered looking at her.

"Whatever your going to say, do not." Savanna said.

Nyx had watched her work for the last hour. Keeper of time. That was her title and role in the court, to make sure the histories where down probably and to make sure the history they were living though was right.

"It was a mistake." Savanna said. "Nothing more."

She then picked up a book, this one as thick as a table leg. She then placed it down before looking at a small bit of paper. She then turned to a page.

"3678. That's the page count." Savanna said looking up at him. "I know your wondering. So that's the page I am looking at. It's about the War."

"Savanna. . ." Nyx said.

"No." Savanna said. "Don't. It was a mistake. Nothing more. I am to be your wife, don't you understand? You can think about whoever you want to while your fucking me. But your fucking me. So say my name. Not hers."

"Savanna you are not to be my wife." Nyx said slowly.

At that Savanna turned to look at him, she had dropped the book she had been holding and it landed on the floor with a loud thump. She slowly moved to pick it up.

"I am."  She said, her voice lost on the wind. "We have been told that we shall marry since we were old enough to understand what that word meant. Your father and mine arranged it. I shall be your High Lady and rule beside you, and birth your children. It's all I have been raised for."

"Savanna, listing to me." Nyx said holding her shoulders.

"This had to do with her." Savanna said looking at him. "Right?"

"Who?"

"Verna. This has to do with her, I know it. That's why you said her name. Do you love her!?"

"No!" Nyx said holding her close. "I don't. I love you. I always have loved you." He kissed her forehead. "I'm sorry, it's just. . .marrying me means you will never be free. You will not be allowed to leave the Night Court if your pregnant with my child. You will not be able to travel the world like you wish."

"It does not matter." Savanna said. Pulling Nyx into a hug.

"If you say so, my love." He said pulling her closer.

Hugging his chest, Savanna breathed in the scent of him. The sweet scent of mist and night. She then let out a smile as he kissed her forehead once again.
