CHAPTER NINETEEN

“So what now?” I asked Will as we stepped off the bridge and onto the dirt road that followed the vali.

“Now we wait for the delivery,” Will told me as he strolled down the road with the gap on our left.

I lifted an eyebrow. “Is the soup that good?”

His eyes twinkled. “It is rather excellent as I taught her how to cook it, but it’s the side that interests me more.”

“The side?” I repeated.

“You’ll see,” he assured me as we continued on our little walk.

I wiggled in his arms. “You know, you don’t have to keep carrying me.”

Will merely adjusted my weight and kept walking. “You’re not heavy.”

I snorted and patted him on the shoulder. “Well, you got around that tricky subject just fine, but that isn’t what I meant. I can walk on my own.”

Will drew me closer to his chest as he pursed his lips. “Then you can tell me what happened to the human?”

My good humor faltered as I thought back to the pleading man. “He. . .he changed.”

“How?”

I shook my head. “I don’t know. He kept complaining about a burning pain and then the black patches showed up all over his body. His eyes went all dark and he started attacking me. That’s when Luja showed up and scared him away.”

“You didn’t use your sword?”

I shrank into his arms and blushed. “I kind of forgot. . .”

Will turned his steps toward the forest where a lush patch of grass grew beneath a large tree. He knelt and lay my back against the trunk. I squirmed beneath his worried stare. “I’m sorry. I should not have left you.”

I shook my head. “It’s not your fault. I’m the one who forgot that I don’t need to be a damsel in distress.” I wrapped one of his hands around mine and smiled at him. “Not when I have the gift you gave me by being your bride.”

A faint smile accented his lips. Will leaned forward and pressed a light kiss against my forehead. He drew back and cupped my cheek in one hand. “And never have I once regretted that day.”

A devilish thought slipped into my mind and I grinned up at him. “Speaking of days past, did you really save the city from an angry bird attack?”

He leaned back on his butt and bent one knee in front of him. “More or less.”

I cocked my head to one side and studied him. “So what made you be around when that happened?”

“I was merely exploring the world after awakening only a few centuries before the attack,” he explained with a slight shrug of his shoulders. “Fate guided me there out of mere curiosity. At that time, the elves were more open to visitors and I had traveled with a caravan of traders to their small capital. We had been camped out there for six months before the attack came about.”

“Then you really did battle with the king of the eagles?” I guessed.

He nodded. “More or less.”

I frowned and tugged on his sleeve.
