A Bad Idea

Cohen

“He did what?” My jaw snaps tightly closed. My tone echoes through the long hall. Cormac and I stand in a corner discussing something that is most definitely a private matter.

“He said she was betrothed to Lord Turningten,” Cormac repeats, stuffing his hands into his pockets.

“That guy’s a fucking leech,” I seethe and Cormac nods at me in agreement. “Did he set a date? We have a hundred days. She can’t be worrying about Lord Fucking-Turningten right now.”

I’d like to think I’m just stressed about our lives but if I’m being honest, I’m worried about her life as well. Her future.

“No date. Not yet, anyway.”

The more I think about his pale hands on her body the more rage burns through my veins. He’ll use her. He’ll hurt her.

Without another word, I’m storming down the hall, not bothering to hide the fact that I’m rushing to her bedchamber.

I fling open the door without knocking, my boots striding across the dark hardwood floors.

But she isn’t here.

Silence pulls through the empty room.

“It’s dinner time, Coh. She’s having dinner.” Cormac’s voice is small and unsure, a tone I’ve never heard him use since we were children. He filled out in his teens and so did his confidence.

I brush past him, our shoulders bumping before I push the door closed.

“Then we’ll wait.”

“In her bedchamber? You want to wait in the Princess’s bedchamber?” His voice cracks with a hint of laughter.

I cock a brow at him, my thoughts flying through my mind irrationally. He’s gaping at me as if he’s suddenly a bit speechless for words.

“It’s just that… I’ve hidden in women’s bedchambers before and it never once ended well.” A smirk plays at his lips as he reminisces about his past.

I barely hear him. I walk to the double doors and peek out at the setting sun. Light bounces off the ocean in warming colors that floods her room. I shove my hands into my pockets as I study the beautiful sunset with a scowl on my face. My shoulder leans tiredly into the wall.

What will happen to Wrenley once we’re gone? If the curse is broken or if it remains, what will happen to her without us?

My stomach sinks low and I swallow hard just thinking about it.

I hear Cormac flop down into a chair just as a knock booms across the door.

My heart skips a beat.

Shit, Cormac was right for once in his life. Maybe this is a bad idea.

“Princess? Your father’s looking for you.” Cason’s deep voice vibrates through the room.

A tense sigh slips from my lips. I cross the room and quickly crack the door open. His brows pull low as he looks at me in confusion in the Princess’s room.

“Already? You slept with her already?” The annoyance in his voice isn’t overlooked.

“No.”

I roll my eyes at him and look down the hall, making sure no one else is around before gripping the dark lapels of his jacket and pulling him inside.

The door is barely closed when it’s thrown open again.
