Chapter Eighteen

Sunrise was just peeking over the horizon as Hunter stretched his arms up and out. He had slept beside his wife for a few hours, then woke and went to inform Edward that he would take Patience’s watch. Edward had first denied that his help was needed, but Hunter could be persuasive and with a few well-chosen words, a grin, and a laugh he had Edward finally agreeing. Though, Hunter had noticed that the other warriors on watch had checked on him more than was necessary. Still, he had given his wife another good night’s rest.

Besides, it was time he got to know her warriors and for them to know him. They had to see for themselves that he presented no threat to Patience or to them and that he was pleased and honored to be part of the Macinnes clan. And that he would fight with his life to protect it just as they did.

Once the next warrior on duty arrived, Hunter entered the camp, not surprised to see everyone up and about, preparing for another day’s journey. He looked about for his wife and when he did not spot her, he went and asked his mum and Ewan if they had seen her. After the two of them had informed him that they had not, he went and asked Edward.

“I have not seen her, though I noticed her sleeping pallet was empty when I woke,” Edward said and scrunched his brow.

“What is wrong?” Hunter asked.

“Patience insists that all our whereabouts must be known at all times. It is very odd that she should go off without telling anyone, unless it was unavoidable.”

Hunter did not like what Edward implied. It would mean that Patience had to make a quick decision and had no time to inform anyone of what she was about to do.

“She could have been in the woods and saw something that she felt she had to pursue. Patience is no fool. She would leave tracks for us to follow.”

“And what if others came upon her without her notice and simply snatched her up?” Hunter asked annoyed that the man was not more worried about her.

“If it were not for the ghost warriors, I would find that an unlikely possibility and I still do since they have made no effort to truly hide the fact that they follow us.”

That reminder only worried Hunter more. What could have happened to her? Could she have simply had an accident and was unable to return? Had a band of renegades come across her? Hunter ran his fingers through his hair more frustrated and frightened than ever. She was his wife. It was his duty to protect her whether she wanted him to or not. And Patience was far from invincible, though she did not think so.

Edward suddenly smiled and pointed. “There she is.”

Hunter turned and saw her step out of the woods and head his way. He was never so relieved in his life and that startled him all the more.
