Chapter Seventeen

Their footsteps tapped along the wooden floor as Theron led her back to her room. Grateful for his care and attention, she lingered in her doorway, and touched his cheek with her hand.

The evening had been better than she could have imagined, and though she wanted more of his touch and kiss, she gave him a coy smile, restraining herself.

“Thank you,” she said. “For everything you’re doing for me, and my kind.”

He took her hand and kissed her knuckles. “I hope that one day you’ll learn that I’d do anything for you.”

She smiled, despite herself, and nodding, closing the door. “Good night.”

Once she was alone, she sighed, and began undressing.

She changed from her tight lavender gown, and into a much simpler nightgown.

She looked in the mirror and smoothed her hair over her shoulders. The doors to her balcony opened, and she looked over her shoulders, knowing who stepped inside.

“Kellan,” she said, a smile coming to her face.

He met her halfway, and she jumped into his arms, wrapping her arms and legs around him.

He held her tight. “Tell me, is everything all right?”

She sighed into the crevice between his neck and shoulder, and breathed him in. Such a sweet scent of fresh air and the woods. For a moment, she wished to be whisked away by him so that they could fly through the night, far, far away.

“The prince,” she said, defeated. “I fear I’m falling for him.”

His eyes darkened, and she knew those words hurt him more than he’d admit.

“This is dangerous, Mila,” he said, finally. “I don’t like it. I don’t trust any of them. Let me take you away from here.”

She looked into his eyes. “There is no need to worry about me, Kellan. I just need to perfect the sun spell. I’ll be able to banish the curse and stop the king from enslaving us all.”

“That again?” Kellan said, distastefully. “How do you know it will work against the king?”

Shrugging, she smoothed his hair with her hands. “I have to try. It’s my only defense against them.”

He searched her eyes, and finally, nodded. “Very well. If you believe it is so, I put my trust in you.”

“Thank you,” she said, smiling. “You are the best friend a girl could ever have.”

Sighing, he returned her smile. “Let’s practice then. While the night is young.”
