But dammit, he didn’t want to. “Come along, then,” he said to Nidaba. “I’m not leaving you down here alone with this maniac on the loose.”

“I won’t argue with you.” She preceded him and George and the lumbering, ever attentive dog through the house and up the stairs.

But she stopped at the master suite’s door and said, “I need to get some rest if I’m to be fully recovered any time soon. If there is anything I can do for Sheila, don’t hesitate to come for me. Otherwise, though, I . . . would prefer not to be disturbed tonight.” She didn’t wait for his argument, though she had to know it was coming. Instead she just went inside and closed the door on the dog that tried to follow.

Nathan grated his teeth and stalked along the hall to Sheila’s room.

Nidaba closed the bedroom door behind her, leaned back against it, and covered her face with her hands. She knew, deep down in her heart, what the truth was. She had always known. But Gods, the pain had been so much easier to bear when she’d had someone to hate. Someone to blame.

He’d scorned her, chosen another woman and his royal duty over her. She had no one to blame for that but herself—she knew that.

She was the one who’d convinced Natum what his duty was. But she couldn’t accept that, and so she had punished him by pretending to believe him capable of the most vile crime imaginable. She may even have fooled herself into thinking she truly did believe that of him.

But she knew now that she never had. She never had.

Natum had seemed truly shocked by her revelation, that her child, her Nicodimus, had been his own son. Perhaps he hadn’t even known that much for certain. And yet his soldiers had hunted her endlessly, tirelessly, for years on end. And when they had finally found her . . .

She didn’t want to go back to believing Eannatum’s love had been real. Not when it had hurt her so to trust him with her heart, only to have it broken time and time again!

She heaved a sigh, swiped angrily at her eyes. She was too tired to contemplate it right now. Her body, still weakened, needed sleep to heal. Nidaba couldn’t have fought it had she tried.
