Wicked love's grip

Chapter 11- Cold words, hot breath

Y/N's POV

I left Ydris' cell, still thinking about that bastard. Sabine was right, I shouldn't have trusted him. All he wanted was me. But all I wanted was Sabine.

I was lost in my thoughts, wandering along the hallway, when suddenly a hand pulled me aside, into a dimly lit storage room. The light from outside sparkled in those amber eyes. Sabine.

"Why are you-"

"What the hell were you doing at his cell!?" Sabine shouted at me. I was taken aback. My feelings went from a pleasant surprise to an unsettling emotion. Just when I thought everything was going to be fine, she starts treating me miserably again.

"Answer me!" she hit my shoulder.

"I just gave him some food.." Sabine squinted her eyes at me, being sceptical of my words.

"Oh were you? You two seemed pretty close." her grip tightened on my wrist.

"What the fuck is that supposed to mean?!" I started to raise my voice out of frustration. "I'm telling the truth!" Sabine took some threatening steps closer, I tried to remain some distance between us, but ended up hitting the wall with my back. Sabine put her hands beside me on the wall, completely cornering me.

"I assumed you were loyal, but after spending time with that deviant magician it turns out that you are way more loose than I thought." she said so close to me that I could feel her venomous words hitting my face.

I untensed my shoulders and slapped Sabine's face with such force that she backed up from me and the wall we were standing against. She looked at me in disbelief and anger, fastly coming closer to me again. Before she could make another move I raised my voice at her again.

"I am nobody's puppet! My decisions are my own, and no one will ever take that away from me, not even you. I have learned that now." Sabine grabbed my chin, holding it up to make me meet her threatening gaze.

"And here I thought you knew the rules." I pushed her away once again, she disgusted me with her yearning for control.

"And I thought you would trust me!" I shouted.

"I tried Y/N!!" She seemed desperate and this time she took my hand. A laugh almost escaped my lips and I shook her off.

"Did you ever? In the end it's just about manipulation and power. I should have never loved a toxic woman like you." Sabine went quiet but I had enough of this, of her. The constant ups and downs. Every time I think that she likes me, values me, it all comes back to this.

"You love me?" she asked but I pushed her aside to storm out the room but she grabbed my shoulders trying to stop me from leaving.

"Let me go." I said less eagerly, tired of all the things that were happening. She dragged me back into the room, I struggled and tried to escape from her grip, yet didn't use my full power to do so. She was stronger than me anyways. Accepting my fate of not getting away, I turned my back on her, my cheek against the wall, I was giving her the silent treatment.

"Y/N." I didn't answer and didn't plan on doing so in the near future. I was trying to face the wall even more, signalising that I was not up for her games.

Sabine put her head on my shoulder, her breath tickling my neck. It gave me goosebumps, yet my knees got soft, not being used to having her this close. She nuzzled my shoulder, her nose stroking me, her lips caressing me. They went up to my neck and my ear, placing a few gentle kisses before she stopped.

"I am sorry." She whispered. "For everything I have done to you." I turned around to look at her. Her features had softened, she was a different person than the one from a few minutes ago. The kind of person I fell in love with. She smiled when I turned, but my face stayed cold.
