It took hours to reach the campsite and though Arran had been hoping there would be some way for him to return home sooner than planned, he realized that wasnât a possibility.
He patted his mareâs neck. âThe first hint of light in the morning and weâre on our way home, Hope.â
The mare snorted as if agreeing.
The campsite was smaller than Arran expected, but the look of the warriors there warned they were far superior to a larger group. Every eye was aware, every weapon near, everyone poised to attack in an instant. These were well-trained warriors, ones who were highly efficient, ones who made no mistakes.
Night had brought the cold with it, though it didnât seem to bother the Northmen. He had grown accustomed to the cold himself, but unlike the warriors, he wore his wool cloak and was glad for it.
Arran knew who Wolf was without an introduction. He stood out from the rest of the men, tall, broad, a fine body born of endless practice and battles, and a demeanor that spoke of authority in every sense of the word. A dark beard added to his fine features and his stance let all know he feared nothing.
Arran greeted the man with a glare when he stopped in front of him.
âHave you come only to show your disdain for me?â Wolf asked and didnât give him a chance to respond. âFor if you have, you waste your time. I could care less how you feel.â
âThatâs obvious by the way youâve treated my family,â Arran said, his tone more than hostile.
âMy family was treated no differently,â Wolf snapped. âBut the past will serve neither one of us well. A far greater threat looms.â
âBrynjar,â Arran said, reminding himself why he was there.
âThe man does nothing without a reason.â
âAnd the reason must serve him in some way,â Arran said.
âWhich makes one wonder why he is here?â Wolf pointed to a campfire where they could sit.
No sooner as Arran sat, he spoke, âI assume you keep a watch on Brynjar.â
âI have two trackers following him. If he wasnât on foreign soil I would fear for my menâs safety, but Brynjar and his men donât know this land so they are at a disadvantage.â
âA place Brynjar doesnât like to be,â Arran said.
âWhich leads me to wonder his purpose for being here. If he plans no attack, no chaos, then why is he here?â Wolf shook his head as if annoyed he had no answer.
âHe has a shrewd mind and a thirst for chaos and destruction.â
âYet he arrives here with a small troop of men.â Again Wolf shook his head. âIt makes no sense.â
âWhere have you tracked him so far?â
âMoving in this direction,â Wolf said.
âCould he be here to settle something with you?â
âWe have disputes with each other as well as a dislike for each other. We both know it is inevitable that one day we will come to blows⦠and one of us will die.â
âCould he be here for that, to conquer you on foreign soil?â Arran asked.
