Chapter Sixty-Eight

35

“Hey Granny, let him go,” I yelled as I stalked toward them.

I kept my eyes on the queen, so I had to trust the others were doing their jobs and sneaking around to take the guards by surprise.

“What did you just call me?” she asked, her voice dripping with venom as she turned all her attention toward me.

I stopped several yards away from her, propping my fists on my hips.

“December,” Cris grunted, “get out of here. Please.”

“I’m not leaving you,” I said, my voice a solemn swear. Then I looked back at Sebille, and my power started to swirl up within me. “You don’t like Granny? How about Grandma?”

I was out of my damned mind. That much was obvious. Not only was I determined to face down the queen of the Zephyrs, who was also apparently my grandmother, I was taunting her. It was sheer lunacy.

But I couldn’t help it. I’d just found out my trusted mentor was a full-fledged Zephyr, who also happened to be a prince. The prince. Son of Sebille. And, as if that wasn’t enough, he was my father? Anyone would lose their shit.

That was okay, though. For me, heightened emotions of any kind were a bonus. I let them flow—the fear, the anger, the disbelief, the shock. I could feel my power blooming inside me, building in strength, yet remaining obediently hidden until I was ready to use it.

I was getting better at this.

“Do not speak to me, mongrel. I do not care a whit for your parentage. You are nothing more than a nuisance. A bug to be squashed under my foot.”

I watched her as she spoke, but I wasn’t really listening. Instead, I was remembering the night she attacked the school. Finn had given an order for the students to evacuate, but his magically-infused voice didn’t control me. It couldn’t.

But something else happened, too. When I told my friends to stop, to stay with me, my voice broke the control Finn had over them, as well as that of everyone else within listening range. I didn’t know if it worked the same with Sebille and her powers, but it was worth a shot.

“You can’t control me, remember? You tried, and you failed. I guess you’re not as powerful as you thought.”

I threw in a smirk for good measure, hoping I could push her to the point of carelessness by enraging her as much as possible. It was a risky move, but necessary. I took small, measured steps to the side, trying to get as close to Cris as possible. Her black eyes seemed to flare with an inner light as she took a step toward me.

I saw movement in the darkness behind her, where the guards still stood, waiting for her command. Easton and the others were ready. I took a deep breath, and with determination and purpose, let my power loose.

Wind swirled around me, lifting me into the air as I’d come to expect. I formed a fireball between my hands, pumping power into it to make it grow.
