Chapter 21

~ Finn ~

“PUT ME DOWN. You lost that right a long time ago.” Sam pounds her fists on Etienne’s back, but it doesn’t faze him. He looks stoic, as he throws her on the ground in front of us.

“Hljóð.” Etienne snarls, and then walks over to the weapons and starts to spar with Iyrik.

Looks like I am not the only one with woman issues this trip.

Sam pushes herself off the ground and glares daggers at Etienne's back, before grabbing her weapon and practicing her moves.

“So, when are you going to stop being a dick and just go after her already? We all see what you clearly want to avoid.” Iyrik asks. “Eira is going to be pissed her prized stallion is strung up on her granddaughter.”

“Slápr-”

“Enough with the excuses already. If you don’t get your head out of your ass, Darren is going to make a move and take your woman. Screw Hrothgier. After everything those pricks have put you through, you deserve this.” Iyrik tosses a sword to me, and I catch it with ease.

These men have no idea what the hell I have been through to get her to this point. I would give anything to finally have her, but my world isn’t what most want. Tossing the sword on the ground, I decide I need to spar with my brother to let off some steam. No weapons, just hand to hand combat.

The past few days have been hell. All my thoughts have been on Steph. Aand the night I held her in my arms. I would give anything to have that again, but my past is making it impossible.

“Enough, Iyrik.” I snap, trying to get my temper under control and not kill one of my own.

“Bjarne has already taken everything from you. You spent your life protecting the one person who means something to you, yet she didn’t know who you are. Now, you have a fucking chance to be happy. Man up and fucking do it already.” I know what he said is true, but he doesn’t know what is at stake. Anyone who gets close to me becomes a target.

My enemies hunt them down and kill them without reason. The last woman who was close to me was thrown into the ocean and fed to the sharks. To this day, I can still hear her screams as the men held me back. I never loved her, but she didn’t deserve that fate.

I can’t let that happen to Steph. “You know why.”

“That was a long time ago. That is not going to happen again, and you know it. Steph is a smart woman, and you give her far less credit than she deserves.” Karl chimes in as he joins the last of our crew.

The mock battle is about to begin, and my brothers are split into two opposing teams. Steph, Darren, Christian, Ian, and Dimitri are on the Asvar team, while myself, Etienne, Sam, Karl, and Iyrik are on the Thrandsson team. Each team has a logo they will wear on their chest, to signal which team they are on.
