Chapter 8

Shit. They could all hear every word. Damned werewolf hearing. Keira jumped to her feet and strode toward the door. Maybe she could have some privacy in the hallway. “Where the hell are you? I’ve been calling—”

“I’m all right. Don’t worry. But what about you? Why didn’t you follow me out of the castle?”

“The damned werewolf caught me and wouldn’t let me go. Did the dragon take you away with him? We found tracks but they ended abruptly.” Keira reached the hallway and stood near the far wall but still visible from the door. Sure enough, Lachlan came into view then stopped when he saw her.

“Yeah, he carried me off, but it’s all fine. Don’t worry. I’ve got it under control. But what about you? What did the werewolf want with you? Are you still with him?”

She felt suddenly reluctant to tell Gill about Lachlan thinking they were mates. What would Gill think about Lachlan trying to split them up? It might be better to keep it quiet until she figured out what she wanted to do about all of it.

As soon as she thought that, a frisson of fear rolled through her. Didn’t she already know what she wanted to do? There was no way she could stay with Lachlan–right?

She needed to stop these thoughts in their tracks. “Where are you? I’ll come to you.” Lachlan would pitch a fit, but she didn’t care.

“No, it’s okay. I’ve got the situation here under control. Are you still with the werewolf?”

“Yes.” Keira scrambled for a good reason. Why was this so hard? Talking to her sister was never hard. And why wouldn’t Gillian tell her what had happened with her and the dragon? “The Alpha knew how to reach Knightley, so I thought I’d better stick close. Plus, they’re fixing for a war.” She didn’t know why she’d thrown that in. It’s not like the wolves’ war mattered to the guild.

“And you’re helping them with it? Good for you. Why don’t you stay there a few more days and we can catch up then.”

“Gillian, what’s going on? This isn’t like you.”

“I’ll tell you everything in a few days. For now, don’t worry about me. I’m fine. Okay?”

Not okay. But Gill still hadn’t told her where she was, so there was little she could do about it. “You’re sure I can’t come to you?”

In the distance, Lachlan continued to stand, staring at her. There was no way he could hear her from that far away. Right?

“Stay where you are. It’s all good. But I’ve got to go now. I’ll call you in a few days. Love you.”

“Love you,” Keira said just before her sister hung up.

***

Lachlan could only make out bits and pieces of Keira’s conversation. If it hadn’t been for the ambient noise in the dining hall, he could have heard more. But he felt sure if he tried to get closer she’d move further away, so he stayed where he was and tried to piece together what she was saying combined with her body language.
