Chapter 14

Ian rode with his arms around Kyla keeping her close. His hound followed right alongside them.

They’d traveled for a while now, but Kyla refused to look at him or even speak to him after she’d poured out her heart to him in the pub and he hadn’t given her the response she’d wanted. But he couldn’t. Because though he had feelings for her, he didn’t want to say he loved her when he didn’t even know if he was capable of such an action. He didn’t want to make this harder on her than it already was. Besides, there was too much anger and resentment in his heart tied to his past to feel love even if it was there.

Her profession of love, though he was flattered by it, was just not what he wanted to hear at that moment. His head was so confused already by everything that was happening so fast, that he just couldn’t ponder something like this right now. Actually, it had almost angered him to hear her say that, because she was making this so much more difficult than it already was. He didn’t want to hand her over to the MacTavishes in the first place, but at least when she was mad at him and telling him that she really did want to marry one of them he didn’t feel nearly as guilty.

Now she said she’d changed her mind, and that about sent him spiraling out of control. If she had said this back at the MacKeefe camp then mayhap something could have been done about it. He wasn’t sure what, but at least they would have had a few days to come up with another plan.

Now, they were almost out of time, as the chieftain had told them they had to be there within two days or the MacTavishes were going to attack. Not at all the kind of thing someone trying to make an alliance said to the other side. And he knew they would do just that, so it was very important to get there in the allotted time. The MacKeefes would never survive another attack right now with so many of them wounded and Storm as well as Aidan and Onyx gone. Nay, they wouldn’t have a chance.

He would just have to think of something else on his own to keep this marriage from happening as well as keep a battle from breaking out between the clans. But first he had to find out if that bastard Tearlach had really come back from the grave. He didn’t know how this could be true, because after he’d killed him, he’d buried him in the earth himself.

He hadn’t told anyone in the clan what he’d done, and nor had he ever planned to. But now he knew he should have burned that bastard’s body just like the man had done to Daghda.

After he’d been force to watch his wife and unborn baby burn, Tearlach had tried to convince him it was for the best.
