CHAPTER 5

CALLUM

Finding out about Angus’s betrayal was something else.

He hated knowing that one of his closest advisors was conspiring against him for a long time chafed at him.

He could only imagine what Culloden would do if he knew.

Culloden wasn’t exactly known for being diplomatic.

He couldn’t be trusted to ask prisoners anything because he was quick to draw his sword, not hearing what the person was trying to tell him.

Egan told Callum that more than once he had had to stop Culloden from killing a few prisoners for pissing him off.

Callum appreciated Culloden’s bloodthirsty ways, but there came a time for it, and Callum was a tiny bit grateful that Culloden wasn’t here.

If he were, Culloden would hunt Angus down, slaughter him without remorse and then kick himself for not finding out the information he needed.

Callum sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose, grateful that Islay had given him the medicants she had, or he would be fighting with a headache right now.

He read through each paper, noting that each letter was written in jumbled words. None of the sentences matched up and they made no sense whatsoever. But he did notice that the letters had only started after Callum signed the betrothal contract to Daracha.

He knew then that Talitha must have thrown a fit, and Angus could do nothing but listen to his daughter.

It still made no sense to Callum as to why Talitha longed to be the lady of his keep. With him as Laird or without. He couldn’t understand it.

Talitha knew nothing about running a keep. She wasn’t trained for such things as she wasn’t high enough as a noble’s daughter to be anything but a courtier in someone else’s keep.

She was beautiful to be certain, but that meant nothing. Callum had seen beautiful women all over Scotland.

Just being beautiful didn’t mean you had anything more to you than your looks.

Most Lairds chose daughters of the people they were allied with. Which is what happened in his case, but some didn’t care who the women were.

So, maybe Talitha had a chance then, but he hadn’t had his allies come to his keep, simply because they chose not to, so she wouldn’t have had the chance to meet any of the other Lairds.

The only way she would be noticed is because of her father.

But knowing that she only wanted to be the lady of Leydford Castle was something else.

He wished he understood why she was so desperate to be the lady. She was scared of him, had never even spoken to him.

Not once. But knowing that she wanted to either marry him or find someone to fill his position as Laird.

He really needed to find out why this was so important.

Why Talitha believed herself to be so important to take over the keep.

Why Angus thought he could have his daughter be more than what she was.

Callum read through each passage that was in front of him. They were replies from someone and letters that Angus hadn’t had the time to send out yet.
