Not Easily Digested

Hunnie Inzotta







Following our arrival back to the castle, which was now day time here, Bahm wore a disgusted and furious look on his face.




My hatred for him was rising for what he did to Kris. Even if he doesn't remember their bond, it was very obvious to see the difference in strength he had over Kris!




The room filled with silence as I walked over to the bathroom, washing blood off my hands and face.






"You're upset."






"YES!

YES I AM!"

Snapping right away, and vigorously scrubbing my hands, Bahm stands by my side.







"What would you have done if--"






"NOT KILL HIM BAHM!!

HE DIDNT DESERVE ANY OF THAT...

HE TRIED SO HARD...

TO PROTECT YOU!!!!"

My shoulders sagged and I began sliding down to the floor, bawling my eyes out.







"Don't...you'll caused the baby stress." Bahm whispers, lififtng me off the ground.





I didn't care to be next to him, instead I desired to sleep mostly.



"He's not your mate like I am, Hunnie."HIs statement comes out soft and tranquil.







"WHAT?

Yes he is!

How can you say that!

Let me GO!"

Shoving him away and punching his chest, he places me on the small sofa diagonal his bed.







"He isn't." He grunts.







"I HATE YOU!

BRING ME BACK HOME!

I DONT WANT TO BE AROUND YOU!"







"WHY?!!" He shouts, staring down at me menacingly.







"FINE!

I'll do it by myself then!"






"STOP THIS!"





He bellows as I summoned my portal and walked in.


Thinking I was going to take a step on my warm fuzzy carpets in my bedroom, only to arrive back inside his room. I whip my head in his direction infuriated that he thought he had the right to control my actions!



"Let's talk."



"DO YOU EVEN REMEMBER HOW TO DO THAT!!!"

Raising my exhausted voice, he lowers his head just as I summoned another portal.





"Please..

Don't go.

I'm sorry...it was...not my intention to hurt him that bad."







"YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE HIS EYES!

HIS BACK IS BROKE!

BOTH OF HIS ARMS ARE BROKEN, I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN EVEN FIX IT!!

YOU...YOU... STUCK YOUR WHOLE HAND THROUGH HIS RIBCAGE!!

NOT YOUR INTENTION???"



Finally losing it, I rushed over to his bed a bit terrified as he only stood routed to spot, and threw myself in his bed and under his covers. Would this new Bahm tolerate me yelling and being disrestpecul to him?



The bed caves around me, and for a long period of time, he sits still, not moving a muscle. So still, I drift off into a light slumber still aware of the noises around me.






"Is-Is everything alright, Y-Your highness?" I hear the door open and Bahm leaving my side.





"Things are fine...

I don't want to be bothered for the rest of the day, no matter what you all hear."









"Young-Young... Master... Kris?"







" I SAID I DONT WANT TO BE BOTHERED!

FOOD AND CLOTHES, NOW!!" Bahm roars at the other trembling voice just as I hear many other feet scurrying away.






When I awoke, a lovely aroma of herbs and garlic eases its way into the pits of my upsettingly, hangry, stomach. In a panic, I sit up looking outside the windows to see it was still day time. I should get back to Kris right away. He's prone to infections and should be bathed.






"Eat first, then I'll let you go..." Bahm voice comes behind me, shirtless with his arm over his forehead.





As if I needed his permission to leave anyways!





Angrily, and without hesitation, I threw the covers off, storming over to the small table filled with foods and plenty of water. I hear Bahm sitting up as I sit, taking my first scoop of the Yuca and chicken soup, then he comes and joins me at the table.



We eat in silence, ignoring his lingering presence and after, I bathed alone and when I came back into the room, Nyku was there, placing different pieces of silky clothing on the bed.






"So nice to see you again, Hunnie."

She says, eyeing my mark and stomach just as I cover up with the robe.









"There's so much I wish to speak about, but I'm just happy to see you doing well.

That is all.

Please take care." She bows and exits the chamber doors.







"I...don't know what you like...so...you can pick." Bahm mumbles.



Not even sparing him any glances, I approach the bed, unraveling each pieces of clothing and undergarments, until a cotton,dark blue dress, with white flowers catches my eye. It was very simple, and I didn't care for the other expensive silly garments.





"Do you need help?"





"No," calmly stating, dropping my robe off my shoulders and stepping into the first pair of black laced panties I see. They actually fit pretty well.






"We need to talk."






"About?"






"Lydia..."



With a rising pulse, I turn quickly to face Bahm, grabbing my dress and sliding my arms in before it comes over my head.





"About who?"





"...Lydia...the one I've been dating."





Jealousy hit me like a bag of rocks.

That Siren woman?

What is there to even talk about!



"What about her!" I spat deadly through my teeth.






"I have to tell her about everything that is going on...it's only fair."






"FAIR?" A sudden fire explodes inside of me.






"What's not fair, is Kris laying on his fucking deathbed while you care to talk to...LYDIA?!

I don't care about her!

Do whatever it is that you need to do!"









"Hunnie...we need to talk to her together."



"WHY!" An unsettling scream emits from my throat.



"I won't talk to her!

She approached me once, and I'm not sure I can't handle being around her right now.

I'm VERY... pissed off!"






He licks his lips, standing in front of me before he opens his mouth to speak.

"You don't have to say anything. I just need you there to tell her that you are my mate, after all. I have to do what's right."






Before I could even answer him, we teleported back to his penthouse, right in the middle of his parlor before the scent of mint and another woman's perfume floods my nostrils harshly.






"Are you serious!

I didn't even agr--"






"BAHM!

IS THAT YOU!"



A woman's voice shrills upstairs and feet ran along the platform above us.






"I've been worried sick--" She stop speaking once she eyes me over.







"What is she doing here?"






"Lydia, we have to talk."






"...Okay..." Eyeing her with so much anger and jelousy, I wasn't sure how to feel anymore.






Bahm shocks me when he holds his hands out for her at the end of the staircase she was coming down from. I turned around to hide my tears, did I have any right to feel the way I do, when it was me that caused Bahm to lose his memories? Me that rejected him, I that sent him to Hell...



"What's going on?"






"Take a seat."






Bahm turns me around, eyeing my face and opening his mouth before quickly shutting it.






"There's no other way to put this, Lydia." He starts after we both sit on the sofa.



"Why...What's going on?

Where's Kris?"






"Please be quiet." Bahm grunts, and her eyes land on mine instead, then down to my stomach, one that barely showed but everyone could sense the fetus growing inside.






"This is Hunnie..."






"Yes?

I know." She spoke irritatingly






Bahm rubs his forehead and sighed stressfully. Why was he making this bigger than it should be!






"I'm, his MATE!" A hiss erupts from my mouth and I cross my arms over my chest.




"HUNNIE!!!"






"Wait...no...she's Kris' mate!" Lydia chuckles as if this was some game, it angered me to even be in her presence. She somehow keeps getting a hold of Bahm and it upsetted me to my core!







"No Lydia...it's a long story, but Kris wasn't being truthful.

Hunnie is my mate, and she's always been my mate, even when we first met."







"I don't get it.."






"You don't need to get it. I'm his mate, is that really hard to understand!"






"Hunnie!

BE QUIET!" Bahm hisses at me again for interrupting.









"WHY!

You are making it seem like you can't decide how to spea--"







"WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME TOGETHER HUNNIE!

IT'S NOT EASY!" He roars, standing up and I turn my face away from the two, hiding my tears again.











"So...did you know this, this whole time?

Like...I don't understand."









"Sort of...

Your touches...they were very cold to me... except for some parts of you..." I feel him face me, as if his next words would hurt me even more. Offensive to my ears.



"Like your mouth and other parts....but I've been drawn to Hunnie since I arrived."






Not able to stand anymore of this shit show that was supposed to be an easy explanation turned awful. I sobbed, can't believe he'd think it wouldn't hurt me. He's my mate for fucks sake!





"I'll leave you two to discuss how you'll breakup then...I don't want to hear this."






"Hunnie, wait."






A portal appears to my side, and immedietly, I walk right through.



With a nose filled with sniffles and much exhaustion taking over, I cautiously climb over his quietly relaxed and stiffed body, laying down in the tight space beside him and covering us with the covers.



I promise to make everything right, Kris. For you.
