Chapter 15
Thalia's POV
Varian had not been half as happy when our twins were born.
However, now he looked like he was about to jump through the roof. His hands spun over to my best friend and then he lifted her seven inches off the floor, smiling and congratulating her for the baby. The whispers became too loud, my chest was transforming into several knots tightening by the second.
Couldn't he see the way he was acting?
He could understand that this was so easy to misinterpret, right?
On her own Shelly was not making any efforts to put distance between them in fact she completely buried herself in his embrace taking it all in and ignoring what everyone was saying about them.
I was shaking so much that I had to bring my fingers together hold them in place, finally I could not stand to see this anymore I went to up to my own personal bed chamber and buried myself under the sheets crying into my pillow because I couldn't understand why my marriage was falling apart and my mates couldn't even see it.
Everyone else could tell how embarrassing and humiliating it was for me yet he couldn't and he was supposed to be the one who understood me better than anyone else.
I stayed in bed alone for a long time just crying until my whole body hurt and my eyes felt red that was when my door was thrown open and he staggered in there seems to have been some extra celebration after the gender reveal because I could smell alcohol oozing from him from the second he cracked the door open.
Without a word of explanation he crawled into bed with me and his fingers found my waist trying to initiate intimacy but I instantly pulled away from him as if I had been struck by electricity.
"Just don't variant," I found myself snapping at him, "why don't you go and join Shelly in bed?"
The smile he had walked in with quickly disappeared when I made that comment and he was instantly on my neck.
"What do you mean by that? Thalia, I thought you were already over this that we were already over this she is just a friend to me you of all people should know that,"
I grinded my teeth together, when he wasn't here I could gather my thoughts and align my feelings but whenever he arrived suddenly there was doubt in the air and the every concern I had was just a sign of insecurity and immaturity but this time I didn't want to back down I had already considered to so much and there had to be a line right?
"For the sake of our marriage variant I think you need to step back from Shelly and her baby. I can take over from here."
The absolute anger that burns in His eyes almost sounded as if I had insulted not only him but the entire alpha blood lineage that he came from.
"What kind of Luna are you? What kind of friend are you?" He said getting off the bed and his face turning red, the veins beginning to a prop from his neck up to his forehead. "Shelly needs Us now more than anything else do you think it's really the time for Petty jealousy? Against your own friend?"
I wanted to get off the bed and face him directly but my legs were shaking so much just like how it did in the hall so I just remained still instead.
"It has nothing to do with jealousy, don't you think you overstepped a little bit? Just look at the way you were behaving. If I was new to the park my first instinct would be to believe that she was your mate and not anyone else."
He burnt me with his eyes then brushed his palm over his face; "but you are not a stranger you understand the in and out of our relationship you know that it is nothing more than friendship and yet you still try to escalate everything and make it more seem like I'm cheating on you or something when I'm just helping out a friend."
"Shelly has other male friends. What does it have to be you who stands by her side almost as if you are acting like the father of the child she's carrying?"
I thought he would immediately shoot back at me but instead he stiffened something flashed through his eyes too quickly for me to pick it up but it's firmly planted the seed of doubt that's had already found it way to my heart and not only that there was also something more sinister something that made my blood cradle just thinking of the insane possibility that it was real.
"Listen Thalia, no matter what you say you're not going to be able to make me to feel bad about having a friend who needs help and giving it to her so what if it isn't conventional and some things are a little uncomfortable from here for her because she needs me maybe if you could get over your insecurity and understand that she needs you to you wouldn't feel this way."
He had done it again I thought that today when he arrived I would finally be able to speak up to him to tell him that it wasn't fair the way I was being treated that he was going overboard with helping Shelly but somehow he had managed to maneuver the election of the conversation taking it exactly where he wanted it to be a way for my control and once more I was painted as nothing but a jealous vicious wife who couldn't get out of harmful of insecurity for a second to help a good friend.
However instead of curling into my feelings and doubting myself I decided to do something else this time.
When I was sure that Varian was fast asleep I picked up my phone, walked over to the bathroom and closed the door behind me whispering under my breath when I called a particular number.
"Yes... I need your help with something... It's about Shelly... I want you to find out who the father of the child is.”
