Once they returned to the pavilion Summer thought it would be simple to confront Ewan, but he had been with either Troy or Abel all morning. Once they had gathered the other members of the coven in the large front room and informed them about the attack on Wilson, and Gideon’s hideous end, everyone began talking at once. Troy had immediately taken up position next to her, while Michael stood close as well.

“Troy and I will deal with disposing of the remains,” Michael told Abel, raising his voice to be heard over the others. “But whoever attacked Gideon wielded great power, and used very dark magic.”

“I don’t care who killed him.” Aileen clutched her husband’s hand tightly as she struggled to her feet. “But all of you heard what Wilson said. The Templar told him that Lachlan was the one who led him here. He’s the traitor spying on us for the Templars.”

“Ash,” Troy said, “that Templar was insane with immortality sickness. If you’d asked him five minutes later he probably would have said you led him up the mountain.”

“Why are you protecting him?” Aileen screeched, and then gulped in a deep breath and spoke slowly and deliberately. “Lachlan tried to knife you last night, remember? He lies about where he goes whenever he leaves Silver Wood. Tell them, Ewan.”

Ewan grimaced. “My dear, please. Ten minutes ago everyone was convinced that I had killed the Templar. Let’s not hurl more accusations until we gather some facts.”

Summer saw how angry Aileen was growing, and slipped away from Michael and Troy to put her arm around the young witch.

“Maybe you and Wilson should go and rest for a bit. Let us deal with this.”

“Lachlan hasn’t been going to town every weekend,” Aileen said flatly. “He’s been driving hundreds of miles, hasn’t he, Ewan?”

The rotund warlock shifted uneasily. “I did notice he was putting more mileage on his truck the last time I changed the oil. That’s all.”

“We should go and find Lachlan,” Wilson said to Troy.

“I have a better idea.” Erica brought out a tray filled with steaming cups of tea. “Why don’t you men go out and make sure there aren’t any other Templars coming up the mountain? I mean, if you’re not too busy arguing about mileage and oil changes.”

Summer hid a smile as she went over to help Erica distribute the cups. “Nice one.”

“I want Lachlan made to answer for what he’s done,” Aileen said, and stalked up to Abel. “He’s been trying to hurt me and the baby for months. He nearly stabbed Troy last night. Wilson could have died today. Gods, he probably killed the Templar to keep him from exposing him–”

“I’m not your traitor.”

Summer winced and turned around to see Lachlan standing in the front entry, and then watched him duck quickly as a ceramic cup came flying at his head and shattered on the door jamb.

“Let go of me,” Aileen shrieked as her husband wrapped his arms around her. “I’m going to make him pay for what he’s done to this coven.
