A Court of Love and Sorrow

Chapter 42

Nesta P.O.V
The whole day something felt off. Eris kept on trying to distract me. It worked sometimes. We went on a walk. Tarquin showed us around his court. I kept on thinking about Cassian. My heart keeps hurting. There is a whole in my chest that no one can see. I kept getting pulled towards, what I can only assume is Cassian. I hope he was raising his kid and making memories. I excused myself from dinner. I didn't eat much these days. I walked to my room, sat down on my bed and cried. I needed my mate. I was barely sleep in because of my nightmares, barley eating because my nightmares were so terrible I couldn't get them out of my head. It seemed like the only thing that could make then go away was Cassian. I couldn't hold my tears back anymore. I lost the best thing that ever happened to me. He is probably happy with his baby mama. I mean, I'm not even a real fae. I'm cold hearted and all me and Cassian do is argue. He's better off without me. Just when I was about to try and sleep someone winnowed into my room. I couldn't see their face but they smelled pissed. Like kill someone angry.
"Who is there?"
No answer.
"I'm warning you."
I felt around to see if I could find a candle. I did I lit it with my powers. Eris has been teaching me a few things along with Tarquin. I walked around. I saw Isabella sitting on a chair in my room. How dare this bitch show up here? I summoned a fireball.
"You have three seconds to get out of my room."
She laughed and lifted something closer to her body. I focused on what she was holding and realised she was holding Miramelle.
"Where is Cassian Nesta?"
"I don't know Isabella. I thought he was with you."
She took a knife out of her pocket and put it to Miramelle's throat.
"Where is Cassian Nesta?"
"I-i don't know. I said some mean stuff to him and then walked away. I swear I don't know where he is. Just don't hurt her."
"Where do you think he would be?"
"If he is not with you he is at the Night Court."
She stood up and smiled.
"Thank you Nesta for everything. I'll let you in on a little secret. Miramelle isn't even my daughter. She isn't even Cassian's daughter."
I was confused and horrified.
"Why would you tell me that?"
"Because Cassian wouldn't believe you if you told him. I want you to know that you lost your mate for a family that wasn't even his."
I thought about it and if I was in Cassian's shoes I wouldn't believe me.
"Get out of my room now."
The fireball in my hand dissipated long ago because I was so focused on Isabella. I remade one. I was thinking about incinerating Isabella but then I would hit Miramelle.
"Goodbye Nesta. Once again thank you for your family."
As soon as she winnowed away I winnowed into Eris' room.
"Eris get up we are going to the Night Court."
He wasn't in his bed he was standing in the washroom in a towel.
"Nesta I thought yo would never ask."
He snapped his fingers and instantly had on a dark orange suit.
"How did you know?"
"If I had a mate Nesta, I would never let them leave me, no matter what we were facing."
I smiled and nodded.
"Let's go."
