CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

“She’ll tell the others,” Galahad said. “This is terrible for you. For your honour.”

I kissed him. “I am respected for my skills as a hunter, tracker and warrior, not my skills as a faithful lover. I have no honour in that regards and Morgan won’t tell anyone. I have far too much evidence of her own indiscretions. She will however, tease us about it unmercifully.” I reached for his shirt. “Get dressed, I need your help finding Torvec.”

“Why has he run? He can’t know about us,” Galahad said.

“He’s full fey at the very least, who knows what he’s felt happening between us.”

“Unless it’s something else,” Galahad said slowly. “Perhaps he seduced you into bringing him with us, into you loving him. What if he was a plant?”

I stared at him in astonishment. “What?”

“Holt, I know it’s not something –”

“No, Galahad.”

“Holt, you have to –”

“No!” I barked. “If he felt what we’ve just done, then this is our fault. Torvec is not a traitor.” I yanked open the door and ran down the hall toward the stable.

I felt sick. How could I have done this? What the fuck had I done? I had the best chance of happiness in Torvec and I threw it away because of Galahad.

I made it to the stables and found Sparrow already saddled. Lance rode a small mare, she’d have come from Yvain’s stable and would be fast. “Where the hell have you been?” he asked me as I threw myself into Sparrow’s saddle.

“Does it matter?” I asked.

“Holt,” Galahad, dressed only in hose and boots, with his shirt in his hand, ran into the yard. “You’ll never catch up with him. This isn’t your fault.”

I felt the rage building inside me lash out. “No, it’s not my fault. It’s yours.”

I turned Sparrow and we were galloping out of the stable. Lance rode low over the mare’s back and she soon outstripped us. We rode north toward The City. The wind rushed past me and stole the moisture from my eyes. I tried to think about the consequences of Torvec leaving and I heard Galahad’s words all too clearly. Could he be a plant? How could The Lady know me well enough and how would she know where we stayed to ensure Torvec found me?

Lance galloped up a hill bordering his land and pulled his mare up. I slowed Sparrow. “What’s wrong?” I asked.

“He has too much of a lead and I can’t risk you close to The City,” Lance said pointing toward a small white blob moving quickly across the plain.

“I have to try,” I said.

“Wait, Holt, just wait,” Lance said, forcing the mare in front of Sparrow. “Think about this.”

“He’s my lover,” I shouted. “I’ve let him down.”

“He’s a stranger,” Lance said with some brutality. “We can’t catch him.”

“I’ve broken his heart,” I said with frustration.

“Tell me,” he said.

“We don’t have time,” I yelled.

“Holt, talk to me. What have you done?” He sounded so calm he stole my rage.

“Galahad... He... We,” I began. “Torvec is full fey, maybe more, I don’t know and he’d have felt something.
