Chapter 4

“There is only the will of the clans. My feelings aren’t important.” ~Callon

I paced the front hall, sliding my hands through my hair. Things had really slowed down in terms of progress, and I was running out of patience. Between myself, Colt and Daniel, we were completely stretched keeping Cheyenne under guard. Colt was spending every spare moment with her, and Daniel and I were constantly doing sweeps to get rid of ‘strays’. I’d even had to ask for help from Colt’s cousin, Koda, though he’d not been able to stay for long due to problems of his own back home. I was also sure Marcus was suspicious as to why his spies couldn’t infiltrate this area, and sooner or later he would come to check things out himself. If he found out about Cheyenne’s existence, he’d either try to manipulate her for his own ends or kill her.

Neither of which were an option.

We’d already agreed the safest course would be to relocate the Wilsons to Ireland. At least in the O’Shea manor I had some element of control, unlike out here in the wilderness. However, Gene and Alexis had changed their minds again. First they had promised to let us move Cheyenne on her eighteenth birthday, but now they were adamant to stay put until after her graduation. I’d spent a good two hours with them earlier, trying to convince them the risk was too much, but it seemed years living in hiding had made them stubborn. They also refused to speak up about Cheyenne’s past. Of course, I had a pretty good idea about the truth, but I needed a proper confession to clear my final doubts.

Why did they have to keep being so evasive?

Hey Callon, you home? Daniel’s voice echoed in my head. He must have returned from his patrol. Any luck with the Wilsons?

I sighed and rubbed my forehead.

No, not really. Come inside and I’ll fill you in.

Sure thing, Daniel answered. I’m gonna wait for Colt first, he said he was on his way.

Alright.

I headed back to the sitting room. It was cold out, so it was probably a good idea to get a fire going. Particularly as I was expecting company later. As I arranged the logs and set them alight, I caught sight of my Consilador ring. The clover pattern stuck out in my mind, and I closed my eyes.

This was what had me convinced Cheyenne was someone important. That rainy night, when Daniel and I had snuck into her room, I’d studied her ring, and it had the very same pattern on it. As I’d guessed, it was a clan ring, and it specifically belonged to the Servak. This further strengthened my belief of her connection to Sahara, as she’d been Servak as well. Still, it wasn’t enough to prove her parentage. It was possible Cheyenne could have been a cousin, as Sahara had no siblings, but Cheyenne exhibited far too many similar traits. They had to be closer, like mother and daughter…

The fire crackled, jarring my thoughts.
