Chapter Twenty-One

Natalie

Are we going to war? I suppose we'll have to do that. Elliot won't give up easily, not when he has a hard-on for killing me. I never tattled on the bastard, though I probably should have. I just wanted to get away from him. Elliot wouldn't let me. He hunted me down and left me no choice but to hand him over to the authorities. I couldn't have done that without the help of Munro and Owen.

Is Owen safe now? God, I hope so.

"Who is that man who's talking?" I whisper to Munro.

"Logan. He's my cousin as well as a former MI6 agent and an army veteran."

"Are a lot of your cousins also veterans like you?"

"Magnus is too, but most aren't. They still have skills that could help us, though."

"Who is that man over there?"

Munro peers through the crowd, following the direction of my pointing finger. "Dinnae know. He's with Catriona, so he must be her husband, Alex Thorne. I don't know much about him since I wasn't around when he married Cat."

"You've missed out on a lot, haven't you?"

"Aye. I shouldn't have stayed away so long."

Logan surveys the crowd with the steely gaze and impenetrable composure of a former spy. Not that I've ever met another spy. But I imagine that's how they all must be. No one speaks while Logan simply stands there looking sexy and imposing at the same time. Yeah, Munro's cousin is hot. The MacTaggart clan seems to have an overabundance of attractive men and women. Maybe eating lots of haggis has that effect.

Oh, please. I'm getting way too sentimental about, well, everything.

My gaze wanders to Munro, and I get a strange pang in my chest. He brought me home with him to protect me, though he'd only known me for a few days. He risked his life for me. How far would Munro go to protect me? All the way. I know that with every fiber of my being.

"We need a game plan," Logan announces. "Serena and I have discussed the problem, and we want everyone to split off in groups. Each group will deal with one part of the plan. Then we will convene again in a few hours to bring it all together."

I lean toward Munro and whisper, "Who is Serena?"

"The bonnie woman sitting beside Logan. She's his wife. And the laddie beside Serena is her son, Chase, who is also Logan's teenage stepson."

"How do you know all that when you haven't seen your family in years?"

"Errol insisted on calling and emailing me after our expedition in the Grand Canyon. He was trying to make me 'assimilate' with the clan again."

"But he failed. You stayed locked up in your hermit cabin."

He flashes me a scowl, but it fades away swiftly. "I'm not a hermit. But actually, Errol's bloody annoying tactic worked. I became more interested in the family after I heard about what I'd missed by avoiding them."

I want to ask him why he didn't come home sooner if wanted to see his family again.
