Chapter Ten

“I canna believe ye found Santiago’s daughter.” Shaw sat back in his chair shaking his head. “And ye’re a bastard for what ye plan to do to her.”

Thor had to admit it had been easier to find Santiago’s child than he’d initially thought. In fact, he’d thought it would be a lost cause. But he was wrong. And Shaw was right—Thor was a bastard, a fact he’d reminded himself of a hundred times already. “Planned, man. Emphasis on the past. I dinna plan to seduce her any longer.” Thor downed the contents of his ale, hating the censure he was gaining from his two happily married comrades.

“But ye will sell her.” This time it was Lachlan who spoke. “For a bit of coin?”

“’Tis not like that,” Thor grumbled. “The man is looking for her, and he’s willing to pay a high price to whoever finds her.”

“But if he sees ye deliver her, he’ll never believe she’s the one,” Shaw said. “His hatred for ye runs too deep.”

The men didn’t know the half of it. All they knew was that years ago, Santiago had captured Thor and tortured him. He had never told anyone about his mother. About his father’s treachery, or why he’d been found alone and seeking vengeance as a lad. Or why their pirate king had tucked him into the fold of the brotherhood like everyone else.

Thor set his jaw and spoke calmly. “My hatred for him is a thousand times worse.”

Shaw frowned while Constantine chuckled. “Dinna let your hatred rule ye. When we allow our anger to breach our minds, mistakes happen.”

“Aye,” Con agreed.

“I’ll not be making any mistakes where that bastard is concerned.” He’d already carefully crafted exactly how his plan was going to work. “But I need your help.”

Constantine and Shaw leaned forward at the table, each of them eyeing him with their own speculative glances before making eye contact with each other, some unspoken message passing.

“How?” Shaw folded his hands in front of him, patiently waiting.

“I’ll need a new ship. I dinna want Santiago to see me coming.”

“Done. Ye can borrow the Leucosia.” Shaw flicked a glance at Constantine, mirth in the depths of his eyes that Thor was certain their English brethren did not pick up on. Thor held his tongue, convinced that Shaw being so willing to part with a beautiful ship was not just out of the goodness of his heart, but also part of some bigger scheme. “Con gifted me with it as a thanks for seeing him married to Gregg.”

“Nay, you cannot allow him to use the Leucosia.” Constantine’s expression was blank. “You’ve only just received the vessel. ’Twould be a shame to part with it so soon. I’ll give him use of one of my ships.”

“Nonsense,” Shaw argued, the merriment in his eyes increasing. “The Leucosia is perfect. I’d not yet found a purpose for her, and it seems only natural that she should be used to exact revenge on a mutual enemy.”

Constantine made a choking sound. “I’m afraid I must insist, MacDougall.
