CHAPTER 5
Eoghan stared at his father with a look of disbelief on his face. Twas bad enough he was betrothed where his heart had no currency. Was he to play the fool now as well and marry a faceless bride?
âWhat do you mean she wishes to be veiled throughout the ceremony and the feast afterwards?â
âAs I understand it, the lady wishes to wear a veil so you are persuaded by no other outside force, only the strength of yer word and yer commitment to make good yer oath and proceed with this match.â
âI will keep my word or yers as it were, father! Does the Dungannon question my honor?â
âTis done, Eoghan, calm yerself. She will wear the veil.â
âNay, Iâll not-â
The altercation between father and son continued with silent growls and even a bit of posturing. Werewolves tended to be quite keen on displays of power and the younger Eoghan MacContire was no exception.
What he did not know, was that Lyall sat in the corner with his head down as his brother and father growled across his fatherâs sitting room. A wicked grin spread across his pale face with both none the wiser.
His plans were going exceedingly well. His pact with the Dark Witch working as she said it would. What was it she told him after he spilled his seed inside of her foul body that cursed night? Ah yes, he recalled her raspy voice in his ear before she vanished from the empty corridor.
âNow to feed the spell with yer seed, I cast this night and ye shall watch it unfold as I tell it now. Strife will sow between first son and father, the veiled bride shall be wed, she must not be unmasked, and ye will rise from yer station to that which is yer heartâs desire. Heed me, the Wolf Bride must neâer take off her veil in his sights or all will be lost.â
It seemed as if Lyall would not have to lift a finger. His father already agreed the lady would be veiled and his brother, well, heâd have no say in the matter. Everything was going according to plan. He turned his dark head to see his father order both his sons out of the room. Soon, old man, it will be me in command and all will obey my word! Soon.
âTis done, be gone with ye both!â
At their fatherâs dismissal both brothers stalked off from the room. Eoghanâs hands were clenched into fists. He was anxious after all that had taken place.
âIâd like to dip my head in a vat of uisce beatha for all that man does not listen!â Eoghan pushed his golden locks out of his face and exhaled.
Lyall noted that his eyes were glowing an icy blue that was almost white in color. The same color they were when he was Wolf. He must have been angrier than he knew. He was careful no to look directly at Eoghan.
He didnât need to scuffle with his older sibling. Physical prowess was not the means by which heâd win his right to Alpha.
