Chapter Fourteen

Drew glanced up at the sun trying to peek out through the clouds overhead, still unsure of everything that had transpired in front of him the night before. He wouldn’t have believed it if he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes. They all believed Lina to be a chosen one, something Brenna’s mother had heard about. The tale was that every fifty years or so, the fae would come against an evil so strong, they would choose a human to help them. This chosen one would be blessed with special gifts and would be asked to fight evil in the name of the Scots. It was difficult to accept—he had always believed the fae to exist only in stories and in Lachlan’s ramblings—but what other explanation could there be for Gregor’s miraculous healing and that golden aura that had formed around Lina?

He stood by the horses, having finished packing all the belongings up. The bairns were all deemed strong enough to travel. He’d grabbed Lina’s things because he knew she was exhausted, she hadn’t slept much since they’d left Cameron land. Now he waited for Lina to say her farewells, then they would return to Aedan’s castle.

She made her way over to her family, all on horseback and headed home. “Do not get down. You have the wee ones situated.” She headed toward Logan first, Gavin on his lap. “Thank you for trusting me.” Drew stood behind her, ready to say his own farewells.

Logan squeezed her hand. “I know not if Quade will believe me, but we have enough witnesses to convince him. Mayhap pen a note to our mother? You know how she shall worry. And Menzie? I’m counting on you to protect her, which will be a harder job than we thought.”

“I will, I promise.” She moved to Brenna, Gregor and Abby on her lap. Tears misted in her eyes, and Drew knew she was thinking of how close they had come to losing her sweet nephew.

“Aunt Wina, if you need a ‘tector, Dabin and I will help you. Tank you for my new puppy.” He leaned over to kiss the top of Abby’s head.

Lina grinned. “My thanks, but I have Drew to protect me now. And you take good care of Abby. Hang on to her so she doesn’t fall.” Brenna had created some contraption to hold the puppy on the side of the horse so she could be close to Gregor.

Brenna leaned down to kiss her cheek, Gregor giggling as he tipped to the side and Abby licked his hand. “You have a different path ahead of you. My mother told Jennie and me many tales of the fae and their chosen ones. Believe in yourself. You are special. You are a strong woman and I am proud of you and forever grateful for your help.”

Gwyneth rode behind Brenna and had Sorcha on her lap. “Fare thee well, sister. We trust your judgment, as should you. Do not doubt your path. ‘Tis as special as are you.
