Chapter 39
Finn closed the door to give Zayne the privacy he needed. "You have got to stop forcing yourself to be in places where you are not wanted, Lucy. He only wanted to share something small with me. Doing this will just get you on his bad side."
Lucy stepped out of the spot she found to hide. "I am not forcing myself to be anywhere. He is behaving quite strangely and it started when that woman came here. You should have seen her trying to seduce him."
Lucy liked Zayne because he had never shown to be easily influenced by someone so it took a special kind of woman to change him and from what she saw so far, those types of women were here.
Lucy enjoyed seeing Zayne return without Rose but his long absence from the camp scared her. What had he done when he was alone in the carriage with Rose? Where had he dropped her off? She had many questions that needed answers.
Finn laughed. Zayne didn’t know anything about the growing problem he was going to have to face again. "I already know not to believe your point of view. You’re jealous so you are going to twist what you saw to your liking to make her the villain. I know women well and I know you."
Finn didn’t see Zayne allowing a woman who just wanted to seduce him inside the camp unless he had some use for her. Lucy was getting ahead of herself.
"I am a woman. You didn’t need to separate me and women. I know what I saw when I entered the room Zayne gave to her. She was trying to seduce him and strangely, he seemed to have fallen for it. We must be careful," said Lucy, sticking to her defence that she was looking out for Zayne.
Lucy balled up her fists. If only Zayne hadn’t been present when Rose was caught wandering near their camp she would have thrown Rose in a cell right away. Lucy was the one to know women well, not Finn. She knew how they wanted to throw themselves at Zayne’s feet.
Finn started to enjoy the show since he didn’t get to see Lucy’s jealous side so often. "No, you must be careful. I understand how lovely it would be to marry a prince and a general but if you want to keep your place in this army, I suggest that you stop bothering him."
