CHAPTER SEVEN

Dominic’s mind reeled as he stood and left his tent. Left her. He needed to walk. He needed to think. He could not do so in her presence.

How could he have been so wrong about her?

His heart told him she was the one he’d been waiting for. The woman he’d always dreamed of finding. A perfect connection, a delicious oneness…

But her story was insane.

What was more insane was the fact that a part of him didn’t care. Part of him wanted her no matter what—which was frightening indeed. He was the laird of his clan. His people’s survival depended upon him, on his decisions, on his good judgement.

How could his desire for her, for any woman eclipse his responsibility to his clan?

Perhaps Declan was right. Perhaps she had bewitched him, stolen his sanity. She had touched him for certain, touched him deeply.

Because even as he was confronted with the undeniable evidence that she was unhinged, he wanted her. Trusted her. He suspected the unfamiliar feeling churning in his heart and soul—the hunger, the need, the blind yearning—might be love.

He hoped that did not indicate a lunacy of his own.

If he were sensible, he would listen to his brother. Send her back with the men to Dar and have them lock her away in the dungeon until he could discover the truth about her.

Indeed, the idea had merit.

Especially since she insisted they were headed for an ambush.

That thought sent a cold bolt through his gut. If they were walking into some violent clash of clans, he did not want her there. He could not guarantee her safety should a melee erupt.

Aye. Perhaps he should send her back to the castle.

Where she would be safe.

With this decision made, his soul ceased its churning, and he turned his mind to other things. Part of her story resonated within him. He’d never trusted MacPherson. Something about his beady eyes, his flickering attention, that half smile that never seemed sincere.

He’d been voluble about his disgruntlement when Dougal Dall, chief of the clan, had not included him in the initial meetings. There were rumors of his efforts to form a competing confederation amongst the clans who had been excluded from the alliance. That part of her story held water. Indeed, it validated the concerns that had been swirling in his mind about MacPherson. And her assertion that the bastard was collaborating with their enemy? That rang true as well.

And such familiarity of the political underpinnings of the clan was not common knowledge. He had no idea how she had come to have this information, but he could not deny that her warnings made sense.

“Dominic.” His brother’s voice behind him scuttled this thoughts.

He turned with a sigh. “Aye?”

“What are you thinking?”

He scrubbed his face with a palm. “I’m thinking you may have been right about her.”

To his credit, Declan did not smirk. “I’m sorry.” A simple statement, it should not have wounded him as it did.

“I do believe she’s telling the truth about MacPherson, though. I do believe danger awaits us at the meeting.
