cruel.”
“Then you clearly don’t know him.”
“Come on, Zayden.” Troy said. “You’ll figure out a way to agree. You always do.”
“Not soon enough.”
The door opened and Adele had finally came back. I was glad to see her until I noticed her expression was not what I envisioned and my father was a step behind her with his face still cold.
“Well, look how late it’s getting.” Troy said.
“Yeah, we haven’t even eaten yet.” Darius added. It was clear they were just making excuses to leave but my father wouldn’t even have that.
“No, you should stay. You need to hear this too.”
They still didn’t think it was a good idea and I honestly didn’t care if they were in the room or not. It would just save time by not having to tell them what happened.
They held their positions with Ruby and Jaylyn close and my father closed the door with Adele still near him. He wasn’t holding her there but I didn’t like to think that she wasn’t allowed to get close to me.
“Now, it’s come to my attention that you’re ready to blatantly disregard my will and proceed with your own way.”
“Father, I—”
“Do not interrupt!” His voice nearly shook the stone walls but went right back down immediately after. “And I hate that I have to be the one to come down here and remind you that this is far from anything I ever wanted for you—”
I was getting worried and couldn’t help myself. “Father, if you would just—” He held up his hand and waited like he was just telling me to be quiet but I didn’t know if I could be. “No, just listen.”
“I’ve listened long enough now you listen. There are a million things that need to be done. Do you have any idea what today is?”
“Ah—” I had no idea where he was going with this and no one else in the room did either.
“It’s the first day of summer and what better way for the country to celebrate it than with my son’s wedding.”
“How when I sent Bianca away? You couldn’t possibly have someone else in mind.”
My father turned his eyes to Adele with a raised brow. “It seems being in Kalu for so long has made him stupid.”
Adele glanced at me, showing the first sign of a smile. “We can work on that.”
“See that you do and stay on schedule.”
They leaned into each other with a gentle kiss on the cheek and that was a sign that something had changed. My father walked out with one last smile at me and naturally everyone was trying to get answers.
“What was that?” Ruby asked.
“What does that mean?” Jaylyn asked.
Adele looked at us and shrugged with this cute grin. “I guess I magically changed his mind.”
I wasn’t quite sure how to react yet. I think I may have been in shock. “About us?”
“About all of us.” She came to me and tucked two vials into my hand. One I recognized as the herb I’ve seen before and the other, blood.
“You showed him Seth.” It wasn’t a question because I knew the answer. She did and somehow it made my father agree to my terms. I had to speak to him, thank him. I rushed passed her into the hall and Rift was instantly awake to follow. “Father!”
“Yes?”
“I just wanted to let you know you won’t regret this decision and to thank you.”
“No need. I’ve seen how everything will work out and you deserve nothing less.”
“What did you think of him?”
He paused while we walked but he sounded very pleased. “Fitting and you didn’t look much older either so it could be soon.”
“What do you mean? What did you see?”
“Haven’t you seen?”
“It’s different each time. The first time he was nearly a man and the last time he was about twelve.”
“Well, I would say he was much younger than either of those. About five maybe younger. You were with him. Adele was seen briefly at the end and might I say, quite the cultured flower she blooms into.”
“Is that why you approved because she won’t always be the poisonous kind you thought she
