Chapter 34

Deakon

I needed to assert myself. She could never understand my true worth if Beau was her goal. My bloodline was rarer than the royals’ who sat on our throne. A spirit halfling and she wanted a prince of ice? But I hesitated, for I could not deny that I was captivated by the woman before me, as I felt her vines wrap around me like silken cords, drawing me closer to her so she could rest her hand delicately upon mine. I looked into her forest-green eyes, marveling at the way they shone with the faint glimmer of emeralds.

We leaned in towards each other, and she slipped the ring off my finger. As she placed the ring back on her finger, I took notice of its ruby centerpiece casting a sinister glimmer in the candlelight but reflected in her eyes, it made the green of them even more inviting.

Just then, the opening door shook me from my blissful reverie. Charlie Snowden sauntered into the room; his lips curled up into that characteristic mischievous smirk of his. He took one look at us and raised an eyebrow in amusement. "Well, well, well," he drawled with a grin. "I see the gala turned out splendidly for you, Sara."

Sara, ever so graceful, merely smiled smugly at him, her fingers tracing the opulent curves of the golden ring that adorned her finger. She knew just how to use her charms to get what she wanted—whatever that may be—and I could feel her yearning radiating through the room Jealousy flared within me at the thought of more competition for her affections.

Sara's grip tightened on me, and I looked back into her eyes, heart racing. Everything around us seemed to move in slow motion—the flickering candles, the creaking of the floorboards beneath Charlie's feet as he entered into the room with a smirk on his lips—but all I could focus on was Sara and her ring, the ruby centerpiece glimmering like a beacon in the darkness. I stepped closer to her, feeling her warmth and power radiating from her body. "Snowden, what are you doing here... Aren't you a little far from home?" I muttered.

Sara, on the other hand, merely smirked, her eyes flashing with amusement. "Oh Charlie," she said slyly. "Deakon has been helping me to plan something truly spectacular."

Charlie shrugged off my question with a smirk and raised an eyebrow at Sara, intrigued. "And what might that be?" he asked, moving closer to us.

"There's to be a masquerade ball," I murmured, my voice thick with emotion. My fingers reached for Sara's, entwining with her own in a lingering embrace. All my internal struggle forgotten, I wanted nothing more than to whisk her away and make her mine.

Charlie moved closer to us, joining us in an intimate circle. His arm snaked around Sara's waist like a vice grip, and I felt a tinge of envy at their connection. "A masquerade ball, you say? Sounds like fun. This will allow us to finally get them alone," he mused lazily.
