Chapter 10

“Anyone seen Ronan?” Faelan appeared, dressed in jeans for once.

Cody dropped the papers Sam had faxed and rubbed his eyes. “I thought you two were going back to Renee’s shop.” There had to be a clue somewhere to put them on the right trail.

“Ronan took off earlier,” Lach said, selecting another knife. Some of the others were getting ready to search for Renee. “He said something about you staying here to watch Bree.”

“Why’s he so bloody worried about my wife?” Faelan looked over Cody’s shoulder. “That’s the dead guy?”

Cody nodded.

“He’s just a kid. Damnation. If you need me to go to Scotland, I’ll go,” Faelan said.

Cody knew how much Faelan hated flying, but there was another reason he wanted Faelan to stay in Virginia, away from the danger following Shay. Faelan didn’t know he was going to be a father, but Cody intended to make sure Faelan was around to raise his child. Maybe he and Bree could go on their honeymoon as soon as Renee was found, and Bree could share her news with him under more pleasant circumstances.

“Stay here and help look for Renee. There’ll be more than enough warriors in Scotland to protect Shay. No one’s infiltrated the castle since it was built. She’ll be safe there. We’ve kept it hidden for this long.” Or had they? They still didn’t know who built the one in New York.

“I’ve got a bad feeling about Renee,” Faelan said.

“Me too.” Cody saw the lid was ajar on the box that held Edward’s talisman. Cody opened the box and frowned. “Did someone take Edward’s talisman?”

“I saw Shay there earlier,” Lach said.

She’d have to return the talisman. It was sacred, to be worn only by the warrior it was made for, not to mention it was dangerous.

“I’m going to try Ronan again,” Faelan said.

“Is Shay packing?” Lach asked.

“Aye. And she was going to take a nap before we go.”

“I still can’t believe she’s your mate and you never even bothered to tell us. Your own brothers,” Lach said.

Cody couldn’t believe he told the whole bloody lot of them.

Lach grinned. “Mom will be overjoyed. She loves Shay. And Nina and Matilda—” His grin faded. “You think the two of you could elope?”

“Who said anything about a wedding? I’ll be lucky if she even speaks to me after this.” Cody gave Lach a warning glance. “Keep your mouth shut. Shay already feels pressured enough.”

“I’m not the one who keeps blurting out secrets,” Lach said. “We need to check Nina’s house, make sure it’s locked.”

“I’ll check,” Cody said. He walked through the tunnel, one of the hardest things for him to hide from her. She always loved secret rooms and tunnels, but every time he was tempted to tell her, he remembered that sharing secrets could endanger her life. Cody checked the doors and windows and then noticed Shay’s car was missing. His throat went dry. He ran back through the tunnel and upstairs to Shay’s room. She wasn’t there, or in the bathroom.

“What’s going on?” Marcas asked from the doorway.
