Chapter 74

Book:The Grateful Rejection Published:2024-6-2

Nora went tight lipped, “What did you saw?” Sebastain asked caging his wife between his arms. Nora shook her head, “I didn’t want to tell you this..” she softly said with a sad look on her face.
Tears gathered in his eyes, “Please Nora” he whispered brokenly.
Nora sighed in defeat, “She was planning on killing your mother and father… On their anniversary last year. She had been torturing Hunter for years, that’s the reason why he used to get nightmares. If you wouldn’t have found out about her last year half of your family would have been wiped away..” she finally revealed the big secret.
“She was planning on killing your parents first then your siblings and lastly when you’re at your lowest.. she planned on torturing Hunter infront of you and finally killing you..” she bit her lips not saying anything more. Sebastain straightened up and walked towards the window looking at the half moon in the sky.
There were minutes of silence, this truth was like swallowing rock for Sebastain, “Why didn’t you tell me this before?” He asked softly.
“Because whatever she was.. she was after all your daughter. You thought she just did this to me to hurt you.. if you would have known the truth.. it would have destroyed you..” her calmness only added to his anger.
“IT IS NOT FOR YOU TO DECIDE SOMETHING WILL DESTROY ME OR NOT!” He yelled.
Nora took a calming breath, she didn’t wanna shout and have another fight. After all they were fighting too much now a days, “I did it to protect you. If you were in my shoes you would have done the same, but if you think I made a mistake then I am sorry.” She said and went upstairs to her room.
“Mumma, wake up! Wake up mumma!” Hunter shook his mother. Nora peeled her eyes and Hunter’s bright face came in her view, “Hey there my love!” She said groggily sitting up and placing Hunter on her lap. He smiled brightly and put his face on her chest, “Good morning Mumma!” He said with a sigh of relief. Nora wrapped her arms around his little form and kissed his head repeatedly. It’s was Hunter’s habit, every morning he would wake up and go straight to his Mumma, hug her and kiss her a good morning. He is a total Mumma’s boy.
He pulled back and kissed his mother’s cheeks, “Mumma I want to eat something savoury” he said with a timid smile making Nora chuckle.
“Sure baby! I’ll make you whatever you want. But first go and brush your teeth and shower before you come downstairs. Okay?” She kissed his chubby cheeks. He giggled and jumped off the bed, “Aye, Aye captain!” He saluted and ran off to his room.
After getting fresh Nora was going downstairs when she saw the door of Sebastain’s room was open, she peeked in and saw the bed was untouched. She sighed shaking her head. For days they have been arguing over anything to everything, in anger Sebastain picked up his stuff and shifted in another room. That hurt Nora to extend but she understood that he was troubled and needed time.
Months after coming back she finally made peace with her sisters, though things would never be the way it used to be between the three but at least the air is clear. Maybe in the years to come the pain she went through would finally fade away but not now, her wounds are still raw from their betrayal.
Even though it was not exactly Nora who killed her mother but she still had her hand in it.
Aurelia made sure to visit her in various ways to show that whatever happened wasn’t her fault and that she had no control over herself. More over it was already Aurelia’s and Earl’s time to go, no body in the world stays longer than they are suppose to. Aurelia had already seen her death by Nora’s hand that is why she said her goodbyes before and made sure Nora knew that she loved her. Earl had blessed his little princess with many surprises yet to come her way, it’s just his way of showing his love.
Nora has forgiven herself but there is still a weight in her heart that she knew will never go away.
Nora hastily went downstairs to make Hunter some Benedict. When she reached the kitchen she saw Sebastain behind the stove, “What are you doing?” She asked coming beside him. Sebastain smiled at her, “Making breakfast for my wife and son” he said charmingly handing her a jar of iced tea. Nora narrowed her eyes in suspicion and took the mason jar and sat on the kitchen bench.
“Hunter wants something savoury..” she said with her brows furrowed sipping on her tea.
“I know, love. He after all got your taste..” he said opening the oven and taking out a skillet, “Also I heard the two of you talking.” He said with a shrug. Putting the hot skillet on the table, “Sebastain.. are you okay?” She asked when she was not able to figure out his cheery mood.
Sebastain smiled at his confused wife, “I am fine babe. I finally feel fine..” he said coming around the island infront of her. He took both of her hands, “Thank you for tolerating me for months. If it were someone else they would have dumped my ass but you stayed thanks babe” he said caressing her cheeks. Nora leaned to his touch intertwining her hand with his, “Well I decied to marry you.. so it’s not like I have many options anyway..” she joked making him chuckle, “Yeah, unfortunately you’re stuck with me forever” he shrugged wrapping his arms around her.
“Fortunately” she corrected him hugging him. It’s been months since they were this close, a type of content spread in their heart to hold each other in their arms. They felt complete to be near each other, “All I needed was the truth to get over her death” he said pulling away from her. Nora nodded sadly, “I understand.. I am sorry” she said softly. Sebastain smiled softly looking at her beautiful blue-grey eyes, “You have nothing to be sorry about..” he whispered and lightly place his lips on hers.
Their lycans howled in bliss. Sebastain picked up Nora in his arms as their lips moved passionately in sync. She had wrapped her legs around his wait and her arms around his neck, grinding on him. Her moans made Sebastain growl as his neon blue eyes shinned in need.
Little steps fastly coming downstairs broke the two. Nora pushed a strand of hair behind her ear as hse tried to contain her hormons that are begging her to jump on her husband. Sebastain cursed under his breath and went around the island to adjust his need poking in his pants. God! He feels like a hormonal teenager!
Hunter jumped off the last two stairs and ran in the kitchen, “Give me foooooooddd” he ran inside wearing Spider-Man pants and an Ironman tshirt. Nora smiled picking up her son and plaing him on the chair, “What did you make mumma?” He asked wagging his legs.
