“I had an accident,” she calmly said. Proud that her voice it didn’t shake in anger, “I wasn’t out running the streets,” Sabina turned her glare from her cold food to Derek’s angry face. “I don’t even know why you’re here, it’s not like you actually care about what happens to me. I knew I should have revoked your pass to enter the Veil and Veil City.”
She’d held off because she’d anticipated Derek wanting to visit Kahlia.
Humans couldn’t enter the Veil or navigate their way through it without a Pass. The Veil was large and mysterious thing that hid amongst the shadows and cracks of mist, there were still Beings discovering new parts of it. Luckily, ever since the Council had defeated the Unseelie they’d built anchor points which had become known as Cities the one her and Lanias lived in was located in Nashville and since it was one of the first ones to be created it was called Veil City.
“Right, I don’t but I do care about our daughter, who was left stranded because you had an “accident”. If this is going to be a thing I might as well take her.” Derick snapped.
Her hands tightened in the blanket in her lap, her Magic rushing up and out covering the blanket in a dense black smoke. “You wouldn’t dare.” Her teeth were gritted as she glared at him. “You don’t have the right to be anything to her, much less her father. And she wasn’t stranded, her nanny was there to watch her. You only got a call because I forgot to take you off the emergency contact list here. Trust me I wouldn’t want your cheating ass around me even if I was at deaths door.”
His eyes narrowed, his lips screwing up. “When are you going to stop holding that over my head? Just because I fucked some other woman, doesn’t mean I suddenly lost the right to be a father.”
“Well, it damn sure doesn’t say you’re a good one.” She yelled.
He scoffed, “Well at least I’m not the reason she’ll never be normal.” He pointedly looked at the blanket. “I took you in, despite your weirdness and now you’re going right back to being like that pathetic girl I knew so long ago. And you’re actually thinking of dragging our daughter into it.” His tone of voice changed, from anger to consoling. “Just hand her over to me, she’d be way better off with my family. After all, you can’t be earning much from working at a bar.”
“Are you serious? Whether I make enough or not, is none of your concern.” Sabina wanted to break his neck.
He shot her a defensive look. “I still am her father, and the ink isn’t dry on the divorce papers yet. I need to know whether your financially ready to raise her—,” “—No, no you don’t.” She cut him off.
The lights overhead flickered, as her eyes burned into him. “You never cared before, so I don’t need you to care now. Remember you spent more effort lying, Derek. You worked yourself to the bone to find reasons; believable reasons, to leave us alone and go to some stranger’s house and fuck them. My life and my bank account are none of your business. I was your wife, and now I’m not. That’s how divorce works, now our daughter is another conversation. Yet, even with that it’s up to me, the woman who remained loyal through everything. The woman who pushed herself to the limit to be your perfect wife.” Her voice grew rougher, filling the room with an echo. “I will be the one to decide how and when you will see her, now do me the favor ofleaving my room.” She nearly screamed.
He staggered back, as a sudden gust of wind filled the room. “Wait, Sabina, Sabina.”
Derick cursed as her Magic followed her will, shoving him fully out of the room. The lights brightened as the door slammed on his flabbergasted face.
A loud cackling noise filled the room, and she slowly looked at the wall across from her bed and frowned. “Seriously, that’s where you went?”
“I wasn’t going to miss this moment for anything.” Lanias teased; the glow of humor not hidden by the wall she hid within. She stretched a hand forward and the wall followed her movement like gum stretching before her hand popped free followed by the rest of her body. “The passion, the drama, the excellent use of Dark Magic,” she smacked her lips, giving Sabina a wink. “Purr-fect. Are you sure you don’t want to leave Dark magic behind and play with black magic.”
Rolling her eyes at the annoying display her sister put on, Sabina relaxed only for the door to slam open. “No thank you, I like Dark magic. It’s less complicated.”
“Well—, I guess it suits your hands on personality,” Lanias conceded.
“Listen here, I won’t be pushed aside by you—.” Obviously pissed, and ready to fight some more Derek re-entered he was forced to come to a stop when a shadowy film blocked his way.
Retreating a step, he glared at it, before turning his ire on Sabina, “What the fuck is this? Take it down, now.”
“Ha,” Lanias scoffed, with a dismissive wave of her hand, it vanished. “I can’t for the life of me remember when you became my master?” she tapped a finger against her plump bottom lip in mock thought. “I usually charge men a very high price to boss me around,” she shot Derek a mocking look, “unfortunately I am well aware it would be too steep of a price for you.”
“Bitch.” Derek snapped, his hands curling into fist at his side.
“Is this him Malcolm?” Someone growled as two people entered the room behind Derek.
“I would assume so Raijin,” Malcolm said amused, “He seems to be at a stalemate with the witches.”
“Are you just going to stand there laughing Jackals or are you going to escort the asshole out?” Lanias drawled.
Sabina felt oddly comforted now that the two had returned, and her curiosity over the largest one name had been assuaged. His name was Raijin. It was powerful name like him, even now his larger body dwarfed Dereks.
Raijin didn’t bother responding to Lanias, and turned his attention on Derek seeming to loom over him. “You need to leave.”
Derek drew back sizing Raijin up. “I’m not going anywhere, I’m her husband.” He argued.
“Ex-husband.” Sabina quickly corrected, glaring at him. “He came because the hospital called him, it was mistake. He’s leaving now, weren’t you Derek?”
Derek went to argue only to give a look around before he seemed to realize finally, he was outnumbered. “Yeah, I’ll, um, I’ll call you tomorrow.” He gave a short nod, before leaving stopping short when both Raijin and Malcolm didn’t fully move out of his way which forced him to squeeze between them.
After they’d watched him leave, and shut the door behind him. Raijin turned his attention to Sabina, “I assumed your husb—,” “Ex-husband.”
