The Lord Protector

I’M TENSE AS I WAIT for Silas in my study, failing to focus on the reports on my device. I drop it on the desk, and stomp to the window, rubbing my chin. I’ve been turning things over in my head all night.

What happened yesterday was an anomaly, something that has never happened to me before. The girl got under my skin with the way her body responded to me, her sweetness, that incredible natural scent of her skin, and the way she looked at me.

I run a hand through my hair, cursing under my breath in frustration. No woman has ever made me feel this way. What’s her advantage? What’s her secret? And how on Earth does she manage to make me feel so insecure? Why can’t I stop turning things over in my head, wondering whether she’d still want Silas after she felt my closeness last night.

The door opens, and Gordon announces the demigod.

“Silas.” I try my best to hide the way my guts twist at the sight of him. Does she find him more to her liking than me, this demigod of warfare with his blond hair, amber eyes, and a warrior’s body?

Fuck, what the hell is wrong with you, Ramses, get a grip.

“Lord Protector,” he greets. I motion for him to approach and take a seat opposite from me at the desk. Damn, it’s hard to look at him without comparing.

“I trust you return with news from the Headmaster.”

“Indeed, Lord Protector.” A seriousness that I don’t like falls over his face. “He refuses to enroll Miss Reid.”

I frown, not sure I got him right. “I beg your pardon? He refuses?”

“He won’t enroll her without a test.”

“A test? Since when does the Headmaster set conditions for the Lord Protector?”

“He kindly informed me that he’d be going to the Council of the Arcane with the matter, should you force him to enroll her.”

I scoff. “The Council won’t even consider the matter. I, the Lord Protector, simply disposed the enrollment of a girl who displayed supernatural abilities in the mortal world. It was my obligation to do it, and the Headmaster’s to execute.”

“A girl who opened a portal to hell itself in the mortal world, without having any command of her magical powers whatsoever. The Headmaster has already gotten word of everything that happened, he knew more than I was prepared to tell him. He argues that, not knowing the exact nature of her powers, she could be dangerous to the Academy.”

I clench my jaw. I should have seen this coming. That bastard has wanted my position as Lord Protector for centuries, and now he’s finally got the right pretext to attack my authority.

“Lord Protector, if I may speak freely.”

The only encouragement I give him is a hard stare.

“Word about the girl has spread like wildfire, in no time. We’ll have to contain the flow of rumors if she’s to have a chance at the Academy. Even if we do get her in, with the word going around like that, she’s sure to get bullied.
