Chapter 15

All the earth's offspring must empty the homesteads,

When furiously smiteth Midgard's defender

~ Völuspá

Gunn:

When her footfalls fade, I slump, holding my head in my hands, staring my desperation into the floor hoping Skadi will alleviate my suffering.

God damn it. Shit for balls and brains.

Inhaling a shaky breath, I wriggle, easing my tight nuts out of a pinch, willing the boner to fuck off.

Deliah:

Tapping softly on the screen just inside his rooms, I am pleased to see the crystals are still glowing their placid welcome inside the dark corners of his volcanic cavern.

“You can come in, sweetheart,” calls to me.

Rolling my eyes, I enter the open plan living space of the don.

Ewan's lying on his side on his bed playing catnip mouse with Bella, his relaxed smile vanishing when his eyes narrow at me, “What happened?”

Diving off the bed faster than lightning earthing, he's in front of me gripping my arms, “Who upset you?”

“It's nothing,” I grumble, winching my arm out of his hold, “Listen, we need to talk.”

“That's my line,” he smiles, gesturing to the chairs in front of the hearth where a dying fire simmers tangerine embers. Letting him lead me over to the cozy nook, he says as we sit down, “You look nice. You should wear spikes more often.”

“Ha, yeah right.”

He gives me a 'pursed lip pointy nose twitch' perceptive stare, “It's Gunn, isn't it? Ignore him Deliah, he's fighting with himself, not with you.”

“And why is that, Ewan? Why is he under the misguided impression I want to handfast with him?”

“That all depends on what you read in the mist?”

Becoming decidedly grumpy, my buzz subsiding rapidly, I twist in my chair to face him, “It didn't mention anything about handfasting.”

“We all get our own guidance from the mist, it's as personal as it is diverse,” he says, picking at the stitching on the arm of his chair. “Gunn's foretells a handfasting with you, but you have a choice as Gunn isn't the only eagle portended the opportunity to handfast with you. The gods guide us through their mistical writings, but ultimately the choice is yours. They simply point out the best matches for you. Gunn is taking it to heart as a sealed fate which is why he's being so obstinate.”

Arching my eyebrows at him, I lean closer, trying to see into his averted eyes, “Who else was chosen by the 'gods'?”

Does he truly believe in all this oracle shit?

Looking up, meeting my gaze, he gives me a frugal smile, “What will be will be, it's not my place to hand over the names of your perfect partners.”

It's now that I notice his palm pulsing yellow light again.

“Why does your hand do that?”

“It's the energy of the clan leader. Only leaders have the light in their palm,” he says. “I'm sorry Gunn offended you.”

“He didn't offend me, he behaved like a bully trying to get under my skin and failing miserably. Is he gay?”
