Arabella's Pov

I sat on the bed. Orion was sleeping in a different room. I don't know why. I didn't ask him. He could sleep where he wanted to. All I had to do was get through this week. Six more days. Just six more days. I've been months without him before. I can do it.

I sat up in the bed and ran to the bathroom, emptying my stomach from dinner. I sat there a little while longer before throwing up again.

Great, now I'm sick.

I went back to the bed and grabbed my blanket and pillow before walking back to the bathroom. I threw up in the toilet again then laid on the floor. I fell asleep on the floor.

I woke up in someone's arms. Orion was holding me. He was sitting on the bed, holding me.

"Why are you sleeping on the floor?" He asked. He pushed my hair from my face.

"I didn't know I fell asleep," I put my head on his shoulder again.

"Lily's going to be fine. She was hemorrhaging. She'll be fine. Her baby will be fine too," he said. He kissed my forehead.

"She told me... before she was passing out, she said to watch him. He needs me. I didn't ask who he was," Orion looked up at the wall. He ran a hand through his hair.

"West?"

"West said she was talking about you. She was talking about you. She still loves you," Orion laughed and put me on the bed. He got up.

"Are you being jealous? Is that what this is? I don't love Lily no matter what she feels for me and what we had in the past. I've always loved you. I've never loved her. You need to get over this Arie. I don't get what's wrong with you," he sat on the bed and put his head down.

"Sorry you're mated to a bitch."

"Don't do that. Don't turn this into my fault," he laughed at me. I just watched him.

"Orion-"

"I'm going to go training with the king. You're going to sit and have tea with Holly, Autumn, and the queen. You're going to behave yourself. We're dropping this conversation," he turned and walked out the door. I got dressed and walked out the room.

Autumn and Holly were already sitting at the table when I got there. I sat down while the queen poured me tea.

"Would you like sugar dear?" She asked.

"No thank you," I murmured, I faked a smile for Orion's sake. Looks like I'm turning into his perfect little princess again.

"You're absolutely glowing dear," she said. I just kept smiling. Holly was frowning at me.

"Thank you."

"Mommy, it's real tea," Autumn said. She spilled some on herself.

"Yeah, great. Now I'm going to have to clean you," I wiped her down with a napkin. She pulled away from me.

"I can help clean her," the queen offered.

"She's my daughter. I can take care of her," I murmured. Holly gave me that shut up look.

"Arabella," Holly whispered. I frowned at her.

"I'm not going to sit here like some perfect little princess Holly. I'm not going to pretend like I like this. I don't know you queen. I don't know what your intentions are," I got up and went to walk down the hallway,"c'mon Autumn. You're getting in the bath."

"Mommy," Autumn frowned but got up anyways. I carried her up the stairs and started to run the bath water.

I put her in the bath and watched her play in the suds for a few minutes. She laughed. She had such a pretty laugh. I loved her so much.
