Rowan gazed across the desolate moors of Norland, where only shadows walked. He had a toy wolf in his restless hands. It was made of dark wood and had movable limbs, a tail, and a snarling mouth.

Rowan sat until darkness covered Norland, and then he watched nothing at all.

Time warped and wavered. Rowan glanced down at his hands—where a toy wolf once prowled now lay a sword. His eyes fixed on the horizon, he ran an oiled cloth down the cool metal until it shimmered. His hands were large, callused—no longer the soft hands of a boy but those of a man grown.

Behind him, a soft voice fluttered. “Rowan, my wolf...” Gentle fingers came to his shoulders and rubbed the tension away. His hands stilled, and his head rolled back in pleasure. He closed his eyes as his wife kissed his brow. Her long fingers entwined in his hair and tugged softly downward. Then she leaned forward until her lips lay against the rim of his ear and whispered, “If the child is a girl… well, I should like to name her Mary, after your mother.”

Then she lay beneath him, her dark hair smattered across the fine sheets, her breasts moving with each thrust. Her hands wrapped around his back, forcing him deeper, her slender hips meeting his movements in that dance as old as time.

His head lolled forward and nestled her breasts. The heat of her body merged with his own and stoked his inner fire. She moaned his name softly, huskily…

He raised his head to meet her gaze—but eyes of blue stared up at him and Blanchette Winslowe’s delicate, heart-shaped face.
