Chapter 2

Sabrina’s pov

Iris‘ pregnancy news hit me like a brick hitting a wall. It felt like the biggest betrayal in the entire world, like the universe was on her side, even though I was the victim in this entire situation.

“Oh.” I whispered after the news got revealed to me, my voice unrecognizable to my own ears.

Zayn was brimming with excitement as he picked Iris up and spinned her around before stopping to give her a searing kiss, not bothered that I was present.

Seeing them almost every day for the past week brought along a fresh wave of hurt and pain each time. It always reminded me of what I managed to lose and what I’m now forced to share with my little sister.

Since my sister had my parents‘ approval, she didn’t bother holding herself back and always made sure to flaunt that in my face whenever I was present and she was cuddled up with my mate. She always derived joy in reminding me that she has taken everything from me.

Whenever she reminded me of that, it always made the pain within my chest multiply. I like to believe that she was just bluffing, but with each passing day, I’m always wondering if I haven’t really lost everything to her.

Zayn still spends his nights in the bedroom with me every night and Iris still returns back to my parents house every day where she’d always be welcomed with open arms, but what difference does that make when my mate and husband refuses to touch me.

“What about me?” I asked tentatively, voice trembling a little and hands shaking from shock. I sucked in a deep breath and shoved my hands in my pockets to hide my shaking hands.

My mate slowly pulled away from a grinning Iris and then he looked me up and down for a moment before shrugging. “You’re barren, Rina.” He finally spoke, voice flat and unforgiving and my mouth instantly fell open as a stabbing pain went through my chest.

Zayn had never referred to me as barren before. He usually consoled me whenever I was sad because of the pack members gossiping about my barrenness and even usually berates me from referring to myself with that word.

“W- what?” I whispered, mind reeling from disbelief and he shrugged before tugging Iris to his side. I almost couldn’t believe he could ever say that word to me.

Once upon a time, I used to believe that he loved me as much as I loved him, but now it all seemed like I’ve been living a lie for years and Zayn’s recent actions and lack of remorse were proof.

“It’s the truth. Of course, I’m not judging you… but it is what it is He continued, further shoving the dagger of betrayal deeper into my heart with his emotionless words.

I was breaking down on the inside, but I didn’t want to give them the lyxery of watching me cry in the presence again.

“S- so this baby is gonna be your heir?” I inquired after taking in a deep breath. My voice might sound calm, but I was completely dejected on the inside. Not because my sister got pregnant when I couldn’t, but only because it was for my husband of all people.

“Yup. About damn time, don’t you think so?” He drawled, a response which felt like a cold slap across the cheeks. I felt extremely faint for a few moments while silently wondering how it was possibile for my mate and sister to not feel a little bit guilty right now. They had bright siniles on, like this was a very normal occurrence.

Before I could even say anything else, Iris bounced on her feet and tugged on Zayn’s arm till he stared down at her. As I watched her right now, anger and pain filled every inch of my vins. It was like I was constantly sinking in an abyss of pain
