Fire Moon Dance

Chapter 13

Hillary didn’t remember the trip back to her townhome. She blanked out on how the tom gripped her elbow, dragged her inside, and forced her to sit on the sofa under her father’s glare.

“Did you believe I would send you here without keeping checks on you? Hmm? I knew about this ‘courtship’ thing the moment those damn flowers arrived. Then a damn call from Thurston,” Franklin Kearney snapped, towering over her curled up body.

“Couldn’t even trust me a little bit? Could you?”

The answer was a backhand across her cheek. The power behind it sent her flailing down the sofa.

Gasping in pain, she covered her cheek with a hand. Staring up at her father’s outraged face, she couldn’t believe he hit her in such a fashion.

“Little bitch! No better than your mother.”

“I didn’t do anything wrong!”

“Wrong?” He snatched hold of the gorgeous comb in her hair.

“Father!”

Dragging it from the chignon, he didn’t stop until it finally released. With it came a good chunk of hair, causing her to scream.

He tossed it in her face.

“What the hell is that?”

Eyes glazed in pain and tears, Hillary contemplated her father’s rage with disbelief. “A hair comb. It’s a simple hair accessory.”

“For fucking them. Gifts for a paid whore.”

Her jaw dropped, stunned he would call her such a horrible name.

“No, I never touched them.”

He backhanded her again, catching her on the cheekbone.

Pain radiated out across her face.

“Just what she said.” He paced. Long-legged strides ate up the tiny space she kept so tidy. He crumpled and stomped over the delicate petals carefully strewn for a second night by Raphael, who knew how much she loved it the first time. Now those soft petals were ground to nothing under the shiny heels of her father’s hundred-dollar loafers from London.

“Why did you send me then?”

“Perhaps, I thought you would grow up a little bit. Ha! What a laugh. Look at the mess you created, little bitch of mine.”

“What mess are you referring to? With the blessing of the Fire Moon Goddess, I will be the treasured mate of two powerful toms and guardians of this clan. They are respected kin members. One of them from an ancient line of the Fire Moon Clan. It’s what you wanted for me.”

He stopped and stared. He dropped down, scooped up some ground up petals, and tossed them in her face. “This? You think these mean anything to me. To them?”

She winced as they floated over her. “They mean something to me! They care for me! It’s why they chosen the path of courtship, to prove their love before the dance. They’ve done nothing to hurt me.”

“They will use you and drop you! What use will you be to me then? Nothing!”

“It’s not like that, Father! They are
