Chapter 16
Cooper
Iintend to find out what conversation my father and Zel had. Something happened when my father looked down at Zel from the dinner table. He kept glancing toward her when he didnât think anyone was watching, but I was observing him way too closely, and I know it had nothing to do with how sexy Zel looked. It was something more.
If Iâm being honest with myself, I wanted to grab her and sit her down by my side the entire time at dinner. I didnât want anyone looking at whatâs mine. But she isnât really mine. She doesnât belong to me. Sheâs a killer, and thatâs all sheâll ever be.
By now, everyone is already drunk off their asses. Zel had three drinks. I forgot to tell her not to consume so much alcohol. Iâm actually shocked she handled that many. I made sure no one would offer her anymore after that last one. I saw her pouting when she was denied. Iâm surprised she didnât yank one from a waiter. She probably would have if she wasnât so drunk.
She danced the night away, and so many people were enjoying her company. Thereâs a way about her. She attracts people. They all want to jump at the chance to be with her and be her friend. She doesnât seem to notice she has that effect. Sheâs exactly like the fae, but sheâs not one of us.
When she left me outside, I was so angry at her for not listening to me. As soon as she got a little attention, she left me there. I hoped sheâd come back and stand by my side to let the other women know that Iâm not available. Sheâs not mine, and I do know that, but I had hoped bringing her here would deter the others.
As the night continued, I lost track of her. She was no longer in the hall where she shouldâve been. After a couple of minutes when she no longer returned, I went out to look for her. I asked the guards and showed them a picture of her, but none of them had any idea where sheâd gone. I know I shouldâve kept guards on her at all times. Sheâs slippery, always getting away. This wonât happen next time. Iâll have every guard in here keep an eye on her.
Every time I wanted to go look for her, another woman threw herself at me, and now I wonder if it was done on purpose. If my father wanted to keep an eye on Zel and didnât want me around.
We walk down the stairs, exiting the castle. She hasnât spoken a word to me yet, and it strikes me as odd. Sheâs usually a chatterbox that never stops. I signal for someone to bring our ride. A guy nods and heads out to where all the carriages are parked.
Her dress looks wrinkled around her breasts.
âDid you have a good time?â She looks startled like she has something on her mind. Was it a fae she met? Is that who sheâs thinking about?
She faces me and then looks away quickly.
