Chapter 16

A Choice is Made

Sebastian is like a shadowed storm.

-Arabella

We walk until we see the lake in the distance, which is on the opposite side of where I met Eleanor. It's swampier in this area, and weeping willows line the muddy pathway through the wetlands. Our feet slosh in and out of the mud, and the crickets begin chirping under the late afternoon sun.

I scream as Sebastian comes from behind one of the trees, startling me. His jaw clenches when he notices our joined hands. Gone is the lime green of his irises. They are now black with unleashed cold, brutal fury. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to piece together that Ethan and the dark Prince hate each other.

Ethan smirks at him while I try to de-escalate the situation by unlacing our fingers. Guilt forms like icy shards slicing through my heart, but we've done nothing wrong, so why is my heart shattering into a million different pieces? I'm not sure I even like Ethan after today or why my emotions are so strong like this.

"You know that she's mine," Sebastian growls.

Ethan's laugh is cold and calculating. "She has already made her choice." He pulls me into his arms.

I push him away from me. Was he only acting like he was interested in me to get at Sebastian? "No, the hell I haven't!" The dark Prince gets in his face, and I quickly jump in the middle. "Stop!" A warm, shadowed arm reaches around me and gently thrusts me out of the way, but I'm not so tender when I place myself back into the center of all the chaos. "Y'all need to calm the fuck down!”

Ethan growls. "No, I won't share what's mine."

My glare turns icy. "I don’t belong to anyone.”

Ethan rolls his eyes at me. This condescending side to him is not my favorite. "You're what I say you are, Arabella."

Okay, we'll see about that, big boy. Backing up, I lean heavily into Sebastian's muscular arms. "Ethan, you can go back to the palace. Sebastian will take over as my escort."

He defiantly stares at me for a long moment. Just when I think Ethan won't leave, he walks away in a childish huff. "We'll talk later."

Sebastian is seething, his breathing is coming in and out in angry puffs. One of his shadows turn me around, his face is unreadable. "I told you to stay away from Ethan. I also told you not to roll your eyes at me again."

Swirls of black and gray float through the air around us. Sebastian has ten shadowed arms coming from his body and a whirlwind of dark confetti hovers above our heads. My words get stuck in the back of my throat, not from fear, but from the sheer beauty of the Shadow Kissed before me. His anger is palpable, and call it female intuition, but I know he won't hurt me. A set of arms pulls my plush body against him while one hand firmly wraps around my neck, making my pulse quicken, and my blood run through my veins like hot molten lava.
