Reign

Chapter 49

I wake up to an empty bed

I roll over and put my face into Theo's pillow and inhale his scent, his scent of fresh mint. I couldn't get enough of it. He always smelled good, delicious even. 

I get ready with the help of my servants and walk to find Theo

I see him at the end of the hallway, talking to a big guard

"Feed him, yes only as much as he needs. Give him enough water for only a day's worth, so maybe three glasses. Give him the clothes for prisoners that are stored in the garage." Theo orders

The guard nods "Of course your majesty." And starts to walk away

But Theo calls to him, causing the guard to turn 

"How is he doing?" Theo scratches the back of his neck

"He doesn't do anything my king, he stays in the corner of the cell all day. He doesn't even look out of the window. He does scream in his sleep quite a bit." The guard replied

"Screams? What does he scream about?"

"How much he's sorry for what he's done, he screams at the lord to forgive him for his horrid sins and that he can't help his sickness, but he wants to get better. One of the guards told me that he has asked to see you, to talk to you." 

Theo shakes his head "That bastard doesn't deserve my presence. Thank you Raymond."

Raymond nods his head and walks off

I start walking towards Theo again, he hears my heels and turns his head

He smiles when he sees me "So I see my beautiful wife finally decided to get out of bed."

I furrow my eyebrows and look out the window, the sky was dark with clouds

"What time is it?"

"Almost twelve in the morning." He chuckles and touches my hair

I sigh "You should have waken me."

"I couldn't, how could I? You looked so peaceful, so happy."

I smile and kiss his full lips

I can't help but think about Matt, what he's doing, was he really screaming in his sleep?

********************************************

I sit on my bed with Greer, Kenna and Lola

"Soo, we heard screaming the other night." Greer giggles

I almost gasp, she had heard Theo and I?

I look down, almost certain I was blushing

Kenna chuckles and places her hand over mine "It's okay Yasmine, it's normal."

I shrug "I feel like I'm not doing enough, when Theo and I you know?" 

The three of them nod, understanding where I was going

"What do you mean?" Lola asks 

I sit up a little "He's always in control, doing the work. Shouldn't I pitch in?"

Lola giggles "If you're comfortable, yes I think you should."

"How? I don't know anything." I roll my eyes

Kenna puts a pillow under her legs and gets on top of it

"Pretend this pillow is Theo and you're me." Kenna looks at me

I nod, unsure of what she was doing

Kenna grabs the gold headboard and starts grinding the pillow
