Chapter 14

No good will come from Chrechte fighting Chrechte, but human nature must be appeased.

—ANCIENT SAYING ATTRIBUTED TO FIRST CELI DI

The battle was bloody, but Vegar and Caelis were amazing warriors, tossing the giant wolves away with one hand each and slashing at them with swords in the other. They drew blood but made no deep wounds. It was clear Caelis and Vegar were actually trying not to kill the wolves, but the MacLeods had no such compunction.

One managed a deep claw strike to Caelis’s chest as another three attacked Vegar at once, bowling him down under them.

Audrey screamed, the horror she felt testament to the mate bond already forming between her and the eagle shifter.

One of the wolves scratched at Vegar’s thigh, drawing blood.

Audrey broke away from their defensive triangle and ran toward the pile of wolves and warrior. She stabbed with her dagger at one of the wolves. He turned on her with a snarl and took a swipe at her, sending her stumbling back with blood soaking her dress from gashes in her shoulder and arm.

An inch over and the wolf would have cut her artery. Shona’s dearest friend would have bled out, Chrechte or not.

Fury-tinged horror washed through her, but unlike Audrey, Shona would not move from her position of protector to her children. She could not.

One swipe of any of the wolves’ lethal claws and her children would be dead.

That would happen over her own dead and bloodied body, and not one second before.

Audrey shifted into her wolf, a beautiful white creature about half the size of the ones trying to kill them.

Her dress fell away from her and despite the difference in their sizes, she attacked the wolf again, this time with teeth and claws.

Vegar erupted from the pile of wolves, a battle cry resounding in the air around them. One went flying. The other rolled in the opposite direction. His sword came down and straight into the heart of the wolf still fighting with Audrey. So much bigger, and obviously with greater experience, the now dead MacLeod wolf could have killed her in a moment, but hadn’t.

Shona could not make sense of it.

Despite the chaos of the battle around them, Vegar pushed Audrey gently away. “Return to your heart-sister. I thank you for your help.”

The uncouth man rose just slightly in Shona’s estimation in that moment.

Audrey the wolf obediently trotted back, the blood on her fur attesting to the fact that shifting had not immediately healed her wounds. That was a question Shona would have to save for another day. It was clear, however, that her injuries were not bleeding near as profusely.

Still in wolf form, Audrey again took up her position as protector to Shona’s children.

Vegar had returned to battle already, the glint of death in his eyes for those who might go near his mate again. The two wolves he had tossed away now fought for their lives, rather than trying to take his.

Caelis had been fighting with the other three, but his obvious desire not to kill them was doing him no favors.
