EIGHTEEN

Fallon wanted to pull Larena into his arms. He saw the vulnerability in her smoky-blue gaze, and it tugged at his heart in ways he never expected to feel about a woman.

He had been worried about how the others would react to having a female Warrior with them, but the men had shown their acceptance. He wasn't sure what he would have done had they acted differently. Whatever was necessary most likely.

All that was left was Larena herself. Fallon knew she feared Deirdre. Not because Larena had ever met the drough, but because of the stories of Deirdre's treachery. But was it enough to keep Larena at the castle?

Fallon motioned for Larena to keep her seat. He wanted her to get to know the others so she would feel safe, but more than that, he didn't trust himself to be near her just yet.

The memories of their lovemaking were still vivid in his mind, and his body yearned to have her once more. However, he knew she needed time. How much, he didn't know.

In a way, Fallon wanted the MacClures to return. They had dared to take his lands while he had been battling evil. He needed to fight and who better than the clan that had taken his lands and castle?

Most of the cottages in the village had either been burned or ripped apart by the wyrran and Deirdre's Warriors. Lucan had told him he and the other Warriors had taken whatever they could from the village and filled the castle with it.

There were a few empty chambers in the castle, but Fallon had the unshakable feeling there wasn't going to be enough room for everyone. They could pack more people into the castle if Warriors were to share chambers.

However, there was the village. It wasn't as close to the castle as Fallon would have preferred, but it was near enough. They could rebuild the cottages and Warriors could live there if need be.
