I wanted to run away, but I knew Siobhan wouldn’t come with me. She believed in the safety of Castle Brannach. But I’d seen the look in Fintan’s eyes. As ridiculous as it was, he believed I was the descendent of the queen his family had usurped. I couldn’t help brooding on the Murtagh clan. They certainly seemed more about the ‘me’ than the ‘we’ and that was a terrible trait to have in leadership.

Sitting in this room was never going to work. I had to get some of the chaotic energy out of my system. I went outside to the training court, which I had discovered during the week. Apparently down here, not that many of the women trained, but then maybe they didn’t have to. It’s not like Hunters were storming the castle walls. The Ravensgaard warriors eyed me up dubiously as I stepped onto the cobblestones and started warming up with my scian. I was clumsy with the second one, the one I’d taken from Casey, but I had been trained to fight with both hands and I needed to now more than ever. I didn’t give a shit what these Ravensgaard thought of me as they watched my awkward warm up.

“We do whatever it takes to beat the enemy.” Even if it means looking a bit stupid while you train. But it didn’t take long before my moves began to smooth out and my blades flew in curving arcs like they meant business.

Then the Ravensgaard slowly began to circle, and I knew they were going to come at me. Test me. See if I really was a Ravensgaard warrior. Fortunately, I’d been trained by Siobhan’s dad because these guys sure as hell didn’t pull any punches as they came at me. I sparred and dodged and ducked and weaved, sometimes taking a blunt object to the side, another time landing punches in their faces. But good thing for us; shifters healed fast.

A couple of hours later, exhausted but calm, I had showered and changed and was back in our room when the maid summoned us downstairs.

Siobhan and I hadn’t talked since we’d been in the library with Fintan and Riordan. But I saw by the glow in her eyes, she was a lot more excited than I was to see them again.

When we entered the Great Hall, I’m wearing black skinny jeans and a blood red T-shirt. I probably could’ve dressed nicer but, to be honest, I don’t have anything nicer. Up in Dublin we hardly worried about such things. It was much more a matter of simply getting by. And it wasn’t like we were given much money. We were paid a monthly stipend by the clan as soldiers of the realm, but it was never quite enough for personal needs.

I thought, considering the nature of the conversation in the library, that we would only find Fintan, Riordan, and their father in the Great Hall.

But I was so wrong. It was crowded.

There were more Ravensgaard in the hall then I realized even lived up here.
