Chapter Ten

“Has he said anything?” Torr entered the lower tower room.

Douglas rose from his chair. “Nay.”

He stepped over the hole. Bending down, he lifted the grate from the opening. “Graham! Are ye ready to tell me who sent ye?”

Silence greeted him. He looked at Douglas. “Is he still alive?”

“Aye. Look.” The man grabbed the torch off the stone wall and stuck it into the blackness that was the pit. The flames reflected off Graham’s watery eyes as he squinted at the light.

He shook his head. “I understand loyalty, man, but ye may well die in there if ye don’t tell me which clan sent ye.”

Graham lowered his head and remained silent.

God’s blood, the man was stubborn. He motioned for Douglas to remove the torch and he replaced the grate. “Dump the water on him. I can’t be waiting for him to starve to death.”

“I doubt that will happen with Diana sneaking the man bread.”

He froze. “What?”

Douglas shrugged, but it was clear he couldn’t wait to tell what he’d discovered. “I saw her come down here with a loaf of bread two days ago. Braigh came up with half, but she came up with none.”

Anger and something else tightened his gut. The woman was a traitor, and he’d let her into his bed? He studied Douglas. The man was too happy to impart his news. Maybe he wanted her for himself and if he couldn’t have her, he wanted her in this very room? “Graham, is this true? Did a woman come down here and give you bread?”

There was no sound from the man below. He fisted his hands. He would find the truth of this. “Stay with the prisoner. I will send down water.”

Taking the steps two at a time, he made the Great Hall in seconds. His brother came in from the side entrance.

“Kerr! I need ye now!”

His brother raised a brow but met him at the high table where he took his chair.

“I was looking for ye. The men are waiting on ye for the hunt.”

He worked his jaw in an effort not to grind his teeth. The fire in his gut threatened to come up. “Tell Fergus to lead it today. I need ye to find Braigh and have a private conversation with him. He should be on the wall.”

Kerr sat opposite him, his elbows resting on the table. “This be something serious then. What would ye like me to talk to him about? Has he done something wrong?”

“Nay. Aye. I do not know yet.” He sat back and crossed his arms. He needed to control his emotions or he wouldn’t be able to think rationally. He took a deep breath and forced his voice to remain normal despite the need to growl. “I need ye to find out everything about Diana’s visit to Graham.”

Kerr’s brows lowered. “What? Why would she go to the pit? Who said she did? If he lies—”

“Douglas.”

Kerr shook his head. “And Braigh was guarding Graham at the time?”

He nodded, his jaw so tight he couldn’t respond any other way.
