Chapter Sixteen

With supper out of the way, Banyan decided some time away from his family was needed. Not from his uncle and Freyda, but he needed a little distance from his father. Being the son of a King should be somewhat daunting, but for Banyan, it was nothing more than exhausting. When he wasn’t taking care of Sigrid, Asmund was more aloof than Banyan would have believed. He didn’t remember much about his father from before he went to live with Gautum. The male hadn’t spent much time with Banyan, more often than not leaving him in the care of his mother.

Maybe after Banyan had been King for hundreds of years, he would become aloof as well. He couldn’t imagine sending an e-mail for something as important as the crowning of the new King. He didn’t care if it was the twenty-first century and e-mails had replaced written letters; there was still a time for doing things the right way. Banyan had written a letter to Rocky when he put the bar back in her name. He explained his reasons, and now that the war was over, the letter would be delivered. He fully expected her to call him and refuse, but he had a back-up plan.

In the short time Banyan had owned RC’s Tavern, Bridget had run the place by herself. The manager had good business sense, and he had no qualms with giving the place over to her as owner. If Rocky refused to retake ownership, Banyan was willing to sign the papers over to Bridget instead. It wouldn’t be the first time he had fronted the money for someone to open their own establishment, and he doubted it would be the last. Without having a mate or offspring to spend his money on, Banyan saw no problem with sharing the wealth with those he felt deserved a hand up.

After telling Gautum he was going for a drive, Banyan got in the rental car and took off. He had no destination in mind, but it didn’t surprise him when he ended up on a secluded road that led nowhere. Banyan parked and got out, not bothering to lock the vehicle. If anyone else had found this place, there would have been signs of tire tracks, which there had been none. The path he knew as well as the back of his hand was overgrown with spruce trees. He pushed his way between the branches, walking the half mile distance to where a clearing had once been. It, too, was overgrown. Juniper covered the rocks, and willow plants obscured the ground.

In a time long forgotten by his best friend, the side of the mountain had been one of the most magical places Banyan had ever seen. Not because of the way it was nestled between the tall trees or the lack of humans within a fifty-mile radius. It had been special because it was where he and Urijah camped when they wanted to get away from civilization. The two of them would take off on foot, packing enough food for a week.
