My baby mama is a mermaid Chapter 13
He shakes his head and swallows. “He and Mary stayed at Gill’s house last night. They’re having breakfast there.”“You didn’t join them?”“No. I had to do something here.”“Okay. See you around.”He nods before going back to his food, then I sit next to Erica. She gives me a questioning glance, and I shake my head no before digging in. It’s a good thing I don’t have much of an appetite, because with weapons class first I don’t want too full of a stomach in case Mr. Brant makes us spar.Whose bright idea was it to have that class right after breakfast?Earwyn and her dogfish arrive, laughing loudly. They each glare at me before sitting and talking with their friends.Lumen turns to me. “Did you see that?”I grab a roll. “I think everyone did.”Halen glances over at them. “I wish I could’ve been there for the party.”“Me too,” I mumble. Maybe she could’ve talked some sense into me.Luckily, the conversation quickly moves away from Earwyn’s party. Everybody discusses the rest of their sp

“Whatever.”Want me to zap her dead?“No!”Everyone turns and stares at me. Earwyn looks at me like I’ve lost my mind. I probably have. Any sane person would’ve said yes.So, you want me to?I shake my head no.Earwyn holds up her blade and rushes at me, her eyes full of fury. I block the move, and my trident sparks. She swings at me around the side. I block that move too.Mr. Brant blows his whistle. “I haven’t called for you to begin!”Earwyn swings at me again. I move out of the way and aim my weapon at her. It heats up even more.I can still zap her. Don’t have to kill her.“Let me do this.” I lunge for her, slam into her, and pin her against the wall, holding the trident with all my strength. She struggles then swipes her blade against me, cutting my arm. I cry out and back up, covering my wound. My trident glows and tiny bolts of lightning spark from the tips. They band together and something tells me they’re going straight for my opponent. I pull the weapon to the side just bef

He nods like it’s no big deal.I clench my fists and hope to see some green.Nothing.I tighten them until my knuckles turn white. Still no magic, nothing out of the ordinary. I relax my hands. “I can’t do this.”“Yes, you can.”“Did you just see me try?”He holds my gaze. “You have the power. That means you can use it for your will.”“Maybe you have me confused with someone else.”“You and I are the only ones who have the power right now. Show me what you can do.”Irritation runs through me. “I’m telling you, I can’t!”He glances down. “You just did.”Sure enough, my hands are glowing green. “I’m annoyed.”“You need to learn to use it regardless of your mood.”“Good luck with that.” I sit on the desk across from him in resignation.He looks deep in thought for a moment. “Did you only ever see my brother use it when he was upset?”“Was he ever not upset?”The corners of his mouth twitch. “Hardly seemed like it. I have an idea. Why don’t you relax and think about the power? Try to draw

Erica sets her fork down and looks me in the eyes. “Are you okay?”I’m anything other than okay, but I can’t talk about that in the middle of a meal surrounded by all the students in the academy.“Mila?”I move my fork around the plate. “Let’s talk later.”“Right after the meal?”“Sure.” I turn my head just enough to be able to see the band at the end of the table. Isaac is turned toward them, so I can’t see anything other than the back of his head. If only I could see his face, I could gage how he’s feeling. Does he want to work through things or break up with me?Tears blur my vision. I realize Erica speaking, so I turn back to her. She’s talking with Lumen, which is a relief. I don’t think I can pull myself together enough to hold down a conversation. There isn't anything I want to talk about anyway. Not my parents, not Isaac, not the fact that I’ve angered Earwyn again. When she and her friends arrived at the table, they each made a point to glare at me before sitting.I should ta

“If he pulled the stunts you have, you’d better believe it!”“I find that hard to believe.”Her nostrils flare. “That’s because you’ve underestimated me from the beginning, you slimy little eel.”I ignore the dig. “You think you haven’t underestimated me? I have the Walker power, and I’ve killed a king! You really want to test me?”“I managed to get you out to the woods your first night. That was just the beginning of what I can do!”Anger swirls around me. “Did you happen to notice I got away?”“Took you all night. That’s hardly impressive.”My hands heat as the green glow brightens and a ball forms between my palms.“You think that scares me?”“It should!” The ball grows and casts an emerald light on us and the walls.People have gathered on the stairs watching us from above and below. Hushed whispers run through the onlookers.“Why would that scare me?” Earwyn demands.I turn my attention back to her. “Maybe because I’ve killed a king with it!”She pretends to yawn. “You keep bring

“You weren’t avoiding me because I didn’t do what you told me to do?”He studies me. “Do you really take me for that kind of guy?”“No.”“Good, because I want you to have a mind of your own. Yeah, I’d like to think you value my opinion enough to consider it, but that wasn’t what bothered me.”“I wasn’t trying to push you away. It was too much for me to process, and I couldn’t bring myself to say it out loud. Do you know what it was like to be at my dad’s funeral after killing him, to have my mom and uncle make their grand entrance like two lovebirds? I didn’t even know she was back in Valora! I guess she was too busy making out with her lover to tell me.”“Or maybe she just arrived moments earlier, and they just wanted to surprise you.”I chew on my lower lip before responding. “No. I’m certain they wanted to stick it to my dad and Walker. That’s what it was about. I’ll bet if Tobi couldn’t have done that, he wouldn’t have allowed the funeral. He says it was for my sake, but I have to

For now.” I frown. “I really messed up.”He doesn’t deny it.“What am I supposed to do now?”“Lay low until people forget.”“You think they’re just going to forget?”“There you are!” Tobi appears around the corner, her hands on her hips.I groan. “What do you want?”“What do I want?” She swims over. “You left a hole in the dorm after trying to kill a student!”“I wasn’t trying to kill her.”“What were you trying to do?” she demands.“Shut her up.”Tobi scowls. “That doesn’t help your cause.”“She was trying to get me to react! I fell right into her trap.”“You’re saying she wanted you to kill her? I suppose next you’re going to tell me that’s what your father wanted too?”That last part is like a punch to the gut. I can’t respond.She glowers at me. “Not that it matters. If the rumors are true, your real father wants you at the castle immediately. There’s a car waiting for you out front.”My stomach drops to the floor.He already knows that I spilled the beans?My heart nearly explode

They turn back to me and Tobi speaks. “We’re going to announce our engagement to Valora, and we’d like you to be with us. I’ll confirm the rumors so everyone can calm down and focus on the wedding instead. I know you don’t want to be in the spotlight.”Relief washes through me. Not only am I not getting in trouble for my incident, but everyone’s gossip will be focused on the upcoming wedding rather than me. “That sounds great.”“Perfect.” Tobi grins. “Would you like to change into a gown?”I give him a double-take. “You’re going to do the announcement now?”“As soon as you’re ready.”“But I have to get back to the academy and study.”“I’ll excuse you from your assignments. One of the benefits of being king.” He winks.Before I can reply, someone bows in front of me. It’s the same servant who helped me the first day I arrived. The one I called Sally because she wouldn’t tell me her actual name. “To your room, my lady.”I don’t bother telling her to call me by my name. I suppose I’ve re
