Clan Mackintosh, Highlands, March 1698
“Ilyssa, I need more time.”
Ilyssa did her best to keep her temper in check. Her heart was pounding so
much, she could hear it echoing in her ears. Her breathing was wild, her
nostrils practically flaring in anger.
She glowered at her brother, Tad, the one pleading with her. His long dark
hair, tangling around his ears and the gray eyes, dark as a stormy cloud, hid
his thoughts very well.
Nay, it isnae something I can dae.
“Time? Time?!” she spluttered, losing her temper completely now.
“Patience then,” Tad said, waving a hand toward her. “Be patient and trust
me. I will get ye out of this.”
“Aye, aye, because that has gone well so far, hasnae it?” She turned and
marched away from him, up and down the study they found themselves in
that evening.
She and her brother were staying at Mackintosh castle, as they often did.
But where once they had played as children in the grounds, these days they
seemed to gather together only to discuss things that were infinitely more
serious. As she paced up and down restlessly, she looked toward the
Mackintosh family on the far side of the room.
Laird Alec sat behind a vast desk, his face grave and his hands steepled
together. His left hand bore his wedding ring, just about the only thing in
the room that glimmered in the candlelight between them all on this dark
night. Sat on the desk beside him was Evander, the broadest of all the
Mackintosh brothers, and the one who carried the most weapons at his hips.
He also bore numerous tattoos on his body, a black mark for each man that
he had killed in his life. He was their war leader, and one glance explained
why. Stood off to the side of the desk was Catreena, Ilyssa’s dearest friend.
Catreena was nearly as restless as Ilyssa, buffeting her white, blonde hair
every few minutes and fidgeting her hands together.
“There must be a way out of this,” Ilyssa muttered, somehow hoping that
someone in the room would find a way.
Alec and Evander exchanged uncertain looks. Catreena whimpered.
“I will find a way,” Tad said with sudden depth and gravity. “Ilyssa, trust
me. I willnae hand ye tae that man.”
She looked around for another face she knew should be here. There were
two of the Mackintosh brothers missing from this room, Dunn and Bran.
Dunn was on a scouting trip to a distant clan, but Bran…
“Where’s Bran?” Ilyssa asked, looking around haphazardly.
“I’m here.”
She turned at once.
Bran had just walked in through the door of the study. The sight of him
made Ilyssa’s breath hitch in her throat. He was the tallest of all of the
Mackintosh family now, his dark blond hair cropped short across his
temple, and the sharpness of his features suggesting he could be a brute of a
man, though Ilyssa knew the truth. There was no man in this world with a
heart as soft as Bran’s. Those blue eyes looked straight back at her,
gleaming almost silver in the candlelight.
