Chapter Eight

“What is it m’lady?” Liam asked.

“Her body. Ian was supposed to send his men to bring her body home but

they were the ones that took Camden. We have to get her body back to the

Sinclair land. We have too!” She said frantically.

“It may be too late for that m’lady,” Liam answered.

“No! Stephan you know where she was, correct?” She asked.

“Yes m’lady.”

“Then go. Bring her body to the Sinclair holding. Please, she is all our laird

has left,” Olivia begged.

“I won’t leave your side m’lady. Not with you going into battle,” Stephan

vowed.

“Stephan, don’t make me curse at you. Just obey my orders please. Tell

Broderick where you are going and take a few of his men with you. Now go

and not another word from you,” she said with power.

“Yes, m’lady,” Stephan answered sounding defeated.

Olivia smiled at Liam and he returned her smirk knowing that she was truly

in charge. The laird’s wife felt the rush of control flowing through her body

and it strengthened her being deep inside. Olivia knew she needed to lead

these men to victory and she had to save her husband.

Last night, as she dreamed of her future with Camden, she had a brief flash

of Brenton in her mind. The words he had spoken to her replayed in her

mind repeatedly. The baron told Olivia that her fire and spirit were supreme

to any other woman. Brenton also said that she was born to do great things.

Now, as Olivia rode into unfamiliar territory without knowing what lay ahead

of her, the proud woman knew this was what she had been born to do.

Olivia continued to pray to God above for wisdom and insight as they rode

higher into the steep terrain. The closer they got to the Sinclair border the

colder the air seemed to be. The countess wondered just how high Camden’s

land was and if they were getting close. The sky was beginning to darken

and Olivia noticed the clouds were heavy above them.

“Liam, are we getting close to the Sinclair border?” She asked.

“M’lady we have been on the Sinclair land for quite some time now. We

need to join with the Drummond and Macleod clans before we go into the

Sinclair Castle. We will have set camp soon for it looks to snow tonight,” the

first in command answered.

“Let Broderick and Laird Sutherland know to prepare a camp for the night.

Are we very close to the holding? I am getting impatient and I anxious to

find my husband,” she worried.

Keith answered her. “M’lady word has been sent to the other clans and we

will meet them in the morning. By noon, we will be killing MacKay men and

saving the Sinclairs,” he said with enthusiasm.

“How far is it from Camden’s land to where Malcolm is? I am sure Malcolm

is waiting for my husband’s guard to try to rescue him. The longer we wait, I

fear the worse off he will be,” Olivia asked with worry.

“It is another day’s ride m’lady. We will secure the Sinclair clan and then we

will leave as soon as possible to help our laird,” Calum replied.

The men quickly began to set up makeshift tents to protect them from the

coming snowfall.
