By nightfall, they’d come to an agreement. Ross had to be found. And Silva had to know the truth. They would tell her together, and she could choose if she wanted to be a part of their search. If not, they would do everything possible to shield her from him once they located him.

The choice would be hers, and finally, the truth would be out.

Chapter 20

I’d shocked Marcus. Even though he’d eagerly matched and returned my kiss, he’d not quite known how to react to me after I pulled away. We chatted for a few short moments before he introduced me to the young boy they’d brought back, Jimmie, but Marcus fumbled over his words the entire time. Once our kiss ended, I could barely get him to look me in the eye.

I was almost certain Jimmie would mean trouble for Liv. He was handsome and charismatic, and I was quite sure she wouldn’t give him any option other than to fall in love with her. It was bound to mean chaos for all of us.

Shortly after I met Jimmie, the rest of the group became aware of Marcus and Brachan’s return, and before long, all three men were so bombarded with greetings and questions that I decided to slip away for the night.

The next day, I hoped Marcus would seek me out so he could catch me up on everything they’d learned and so we could talk about our kiss. Instead, the entire day passed without me even bumping into him.

When he wasn’t at dinner, I decided to go in search for him.

It came as no real surprise to me when I heard his voice upon entering the garden. Of course, he was with Freya.

“Marcus? Freya? Will I be intruding if I join you?”

Freya’s voice drifted toward me as I neared them. “O’course not, lass. Marcus was just about to bid me goodnight. I believe he needs to speak with ye anyway.”

As I stepped into their line of sight, Freya stood, her ghostly form rising effortlessly from the bench she floated above. She walked toward me, giving me a quick wink as she passed and rounded the corner to disappear to some other part of the garden.

“Should my ears have been burning?”

Marcus smiled before standing to come and meet me as I walked along one of the garden’s many pathways.

“Maybe just a little. I’m sorry I didn’t come to find you today. I had some things I needed to take care of that just wouldn’t keep. I can’t wait to visit with you alone, but Raudrich and I have something we need to discuss with you. Do you have a few minutes? He will probably already be waiting for us in the library if we head that way now.”

Immediately, unease began to course through me. Little alarm bells started going off in my mind, warning me that all I’d vowed to leave behind only the night before was already coming back to haunt me. I didn’t want any part of it.
