Chapter Eleven

“NO MORE,” LINDSAY whispered through clenched teeth into the mirror as she continued to shave off the last of her white blond hair and confronted the new her. The girl that would no longer be defined by her looks or her past but by this.

The person who stared back.

At least for now.

That was the day she climbed high into the tree in the backyard of her foster home and began planning a new life. One chapter was over, and it was time to start another. A chapter where she accepted that she was completely on her own now and she ruled her own destiny.

Nobody else.

Not the kids who teased her and certainly not the bizarre almost surreal things that had begun happening. The daunting ability to see through other people’s eyes when they were going through something traumatic. Now would be the beginning of the end of all that. Now, starting today, she would embrace a new person. If this person didn’t make life more tolerable, then she would embrace another and another, staying one step ahead of her past and the curse that was hers.

As she sat near the top of the tree that day, she suddenly felt free in a whole new way.

Nothing could touch her here. She was part of something bigger and better, more magical than anything she had ever experienced. So it wasn’t really all that surprising when she looked down through the leaves twisting in the sunlight and saw a boy around her age staring back at her. She was about to call out, yelling over the wind that had kicked up, but jolted awake instead.

Confused, she blinked several times, trying to acclimate, only to find herself beneath furs on a cot and Conall sitting in a chair beside her. While it was clear he had set up camp to watch over her, he had dozed off. His chin rested on his chest, a dagger firmly in his grasp on his lap despite how soundly he slept.

She frowned and rubbed her forehead, confused as she glanced out the cottage window. It appeared to be pre-dawn and snowing quite heavily. When she shifted and felt the soreness mixed with pleasurable tenderness between her thighs, everything started coming back.

Conall and her.

What he had done to her...no, for her.

“Oh, hell,” she whispered as she peeked beneath the fur. She was fully dressed minus the boots. Her eyes went to him again, remembering all too well his sinfully hot body pressed against hers in this very cottage. She licked her lips as she recalled how thorough he had been.

How relentless.

How downright talented.

“I, oh no,” she whispered under her breath as she swung her legs over the side of the cot and kept staring at him. Per William’s request, she was supposed to be doing her best to get Robert the Bruce to fall for her not fall all over Conall Hamilton the minute they were alone.

“Make the Bruce fall in love with ye,” William had requested back in Strathearn.
