Chapter Twenty-One

Charlotte

Alec and Harris started walking out with me, Monty trailing behind us as he looked through the book, Alec looking sickly and distracted.

“Thanks for trying to defend me,” Alec told Harris. He was clearly failing at distancing himself from us, although he didn’t walk too close to Charlotte.

“Everyone has a moment of weakness now and then,” Harris said. He looked at me. “Still, I’ve seen worse with you, Alec. It’s almost as if…someone perked you up last night.”

I shot Alec a furtive look. I wasn’t sure where this was going.

“Harris, drop it,” Alec said. “I can’t touch her.”

“I’ve heard she’s dating Montague,” Harris said. “But I know what I saw on the boat. I thought you were covering for her relationship with her familiar, but…”

“Hello, I’m right here,” I said.

We all stopped walking. Montague and Alec both got closer to Harris, blocking him from me. They looked ready to throw a punch.

(Not gonna lie. I loved it when they defended my honor.)

“What do you care, Harris?” Alec asked. “Keep your eyes in your own lane. You’re two and half years out from being Mr. Daisy Pendleton, aren’t you?”

“We know each other too well to keep pretending. Just tell me—are you all actually…establishing a bond brotherhood?”

“It isn’t any of your business, actually,” I said.

“Interesting. No denial. Just a good old-fashioned ‘none of your business’.” He stroked his chin. “You need three boys and a fancy wand to keep you busy, Chosen One?”

“Stop calling me that. You’re starting to really piss me off.”

“There is a difference between me and all of you. In the end, I won’t make any stupid decisions that damn me to spending my life in the Haven or a council prison or maybe even dead. I haven’t worked hard just to throw my life away on a girl.”

He looked at me. I looked at him, clutching my books and glowering at him.

“Charlotte is hot and even reasonably talented,” he added. “In a dream world, I’d do her. But I wouldn’t share her.”

I flung out my wand and struck Harris back into the wall of the dining hall.

It was an extremely sloppy spell, but if Harris broke a bone, my current mood was ‘sorry not sorry’.

“I’ve had enough,” I said, pointing my wand at Harris’ throat. “You are never going to ‘do’ me and who I want to do is my business. Oh, and the way you keep objectifying me is real charming. I hope Daisy eats you for breakfast.”

“That isn’t a gun,” Harris said, lowering my wand with his hand. “It wasn’t an insult. I’m impressed you managed to loop my two best friends into whatever this is. You guys can rage at me all you want, but you know your real problem is what the council will say when they inevitably find out. You’re all going to be shunned.”

Montague punched him. “You really are a grade A dick. Come on, Char.” He put an arm around me.

“Monty—Alec. Charlotte. I’m—I’m serious. I’m trying to save you from yourselves,” Harris ground out behind us.
