If it were not for the promise of a rendezvous with Ursula, Alasdair may have dreaded the necessary clan briefing, but keeping up with the latest developments would be critical to his success as he returned to Skye. The meeting with King James had been the reason for his journey from home, but he couldn’t discuss that with his good friend.

After they settled in George’s massive solar, with Alasdair’s chalice filled, his friend suggested they sit at the circular table in the middle of the high-ceilinged chamber.

Alasdair stretched out his legs and crossed them as George unrolled a large parchment in the center of the table and anchored each end with an empty goblet.

His host pointed to Urquhart Castle on the map and made an arc with his finger to Kyle of Lochalsh. “From Urquhart to Glengarry, you will be well-protected by Clan Cameron. But once you cross this range and move into the Glen Shiel, you must be on your guard.”

Alasdair rose and braced himself on the table, leaning over the map to get a better look, his eyes following the arc George had traced.

“I have at least six men I can spare who will travel with you from here to Dunvegan. They wear my coat of arms, which is neutral to even the MacDonalds. You must wear it as well, Crotach.”

Alasdair’s head whipped up. He’d never been asked to hide who he was.

“Crotach, I know it goes against everything you stand for, but ’twill be a guaranteed passage.”

Alasdair considered his friend’s offer. He was never quick to make a judgment and had learned the hard way that calculated movements, even on the battlefield, merited greater success than impatient action.

“You are right my friend of the good,” Alasdair finally said after the long contemplation. “I’ve proudly worn my family’s colors since I was a swaddled babe.” He turned to pace in front of the massive fireplace that burned as hotly has he felt. If it weren’t for Ursula and Ethan, Alasdair could travel without Gordon’s protection.
