Chapter Eighteen

Einarr

Shite, I fucking hate arrows.

“Einarr!” Thyra screams.

I never want to see her cry, but her eyes fill with tears as her hands hover over my wound.

I cup her face and press a hard, passionate kiss against her lips. When I break apart from her, I hold her face in my hands.

“I need you to do me a favor, Thyra. I need you to pull the arrow out of my shoulder.” I never want to let her go, but I know I must fight this attack. I also must make sure Thyra gets to safety. If I had not tackled her, this arrow would have been through her back. The thought makes the beast in me arise, thirsting for a kill.

“What? I can’t!” she yells.

“Einarr? We need you!” Grim yells as they barricade the door, trying to buy time until we get the women situated.

I grip her chin a bit harder. “Listen to me. Many people may die if you do not yank this arrow out of me. Yourself included. You have only half a moment before those doors give. Yank the bloody thing out, Thyra!”

She lets out a loud cry as her hand wraps around the small wood and pulls back. I barely grunt when my shoulder is finally free. Thyra tosses the arrow to the side and tries to put pressure on the bleeding wound with her hand.

“Thrya! Thyra!” her father yells, but he is caught in the onslaught of the crowd panicking. He cannot get through to her.

“Listen to me. You must go. You need to hide. Do you know anywhere you can go in this castle where the Jackals won’t find you?”

“How do you know it is them?” she gasps.

“It’s always them. And if they know a woman here is up for grabs, they will take her. I swear to the goddesses, after this, I’m marrying you.”

“Please, stay alive,” she cries, pulling her hand away from the wound. It isn’t that bad. I’ve had worse. I know I’ll survive.

“I will, I promise.” I give her one last kiss before standing up and bring her with me. “Go,” I order, but she doesn’t move.

The doors burst down with a heavy crack. In mere seconds, the ballroom gets infiltrated with Jackals. Foul men swinging their swords and bellowing. The guests scream and scramble in panic.

“Go, Thyra! Go now!” I unsheathe my sword just in time to block one Jackal’s swinging attack, and I stab him through the stomach, kicking him away.

“You need to go right now!” I shout, wielding my blade all around her.

“I love you,” she cries out, grabbing her beautiful purple gown with her bloodied hands, and starts to back away.

“And I love you, now go. Go, woman!” I repeat, with a bit of anger. I love how stubborn my woman is, but she is taking too long.

She finally turns away and starts running to the nearest corridor. Once I see where she goes, I do the one thing that hurts me most, I turn my back on her and walk into danger.
