Chapter Thirteen

“In Norse mythology Loki is the son of Laufey and the Jötunn Fárbauti and is Odin’s blood brother. He is known as the God of Trickery and Mischief and The Father of Monsters.

He sired the vicious wolf Fenrir and the serpent Jörmungandr as well as Odin’s eight-legged horse Sleipnir. He’s also the father of the Goddess Hel who reigns over the realm of the dead.”

Crack! Erik yanked his fist back from Frode’s face as the man flew backward onto his arse on the floor of the barn. “You think I don’t love Iselin?” Erik said, his words low like a growl. “That I would turn my back on saving her?”

The early morning sun from the cracked door shone down on Frode lying flat on his back, legs spread, one hand to his eye. “You foked Hannah Sinclair.”

Erik was going to rip the man’s tongue from his mouth. “Shut your foking mouth, Frode Hansen, or I’ll slice off that offensive tongue and feed it to swine.”

Nial stepped before Erik as if to hold him back. “The accusation is true. He loves your sister, which makes his tongue unwise.”

Erik rubbed his bruised knuckles. It added to the still sore bite wound. He stepped around Nial, close enough that his shoulder knocked him with enough force to make him stagger back. “Hannah and I last night… What happened between us will not stop Iselin’s release,” Erik said, standing over Frode who pushed up to sitting.

“It has everything to do with it,” Frode said, bending his knees. “Perhaps as the leader of the Wolf Warriors, your father was in truth Loki, since you’re full of lies, and mischief taints your heart.” Frode glared up at him.

“You did name your horse Loki,” Sten said to Erik.

Frode continued. “You’ve failed our mission to bring an untouched Sinclair Horsemen sister to trade for Iselin. Untouched, Erik.”

The man was a fool. Loki? Frode talked like a pagan of old.

“She lied to him and said she was already ruined,” Sten said from somewhere behind.

Ruined was a horrid word. Hannah was certainly not ruined. In fact, she would probably have been jubilant if they hadn’t fought. And she hadn’t actually lied.

Erik met Frode’s healthy eye, since the other one was swelling closed quickly. “We will say naught of…what went on between me and Hannah. Sophie will not know, and I will still trade her for Iselin.”

“She will tell Sophie,” Nial said, his face red and pinched. “’Twas Hannah’s plan to destroy our mission in an attempt to go home. She will yell her ruination from the bloody rooftops.”

“Maybe she’s a mythical seductress or witch, and you fell right into her trap,” Sten said, shaking his head, and then leaped backward when Erik spun around toward him, his fist ready.

“Fighting among us will only weaken us,” Nial said, rubbing the back of his neck.

“Then you three need to hold fast to your wild tongues and have trust in your leader,” Erik said, his words like thunder cracking through the Jotunheimen mountain range.
