Haydn spent the remainder of the day as he had these past three, at de Bellemare’s beck and call. By the evening meal he was ready to scream with frustration, having more than his fill of the older man’s plans and schemes.

Yet what bothered Haydn most was that a part of him was drawn to this savagery. He and de Bellemare were of the same kind. He possessed the same primitive instincts as his enemy, was capable of the same brutality.

Haydn shuddered as a wave of self-loathing engulfed him. He saw the possibility of his future. He saw that if he did not learn to harness his power, if he could not learn to control his lust, to suppress the savagery of his nature, he would become like his enemy. A creature with no conscience, a being who existed in a crimson haze of bloodlust.

Haydn’s thoughts were troubled as he climbed the stairs. He wanted to destroy his enemy and leave this castle as soon as possible, but it was proving far more difficult than he thought to challenge de Bellemare. The older man was clever; his guards were around him at all times. Haydn needed to find a vulnerability and exploit it or else he would never accomplish his task.

Bethan was awake when he entered their bedchamber. His eyes met hers and for a moment something passed between them. He was glad they had talked earlier in the chapel. It had cleared the air between them, but more importantly had united them in a shared purpose, a shared burden, a shared trust.

“I have something to show you,” she said. “’Tis a book Father William has given me.”

“It can wait.” Haydn closed the distance between them in three strides. He took her in his arms and clutched her tightly to his body, breathing in her warm, intoxicating scent. “I need you, Bethan of Lampeter. I need to bury myself deep inside you, where there is goodness and joy. Will you welcome me in your bed?”

Her eyes softened. “Always.”
