Dunvegan Castle, Isle of Skye, Scotland
Saturday, April 20th, 1743
As the sun set in the window behind him, Keiran MacLeod moved to the
door of his chamber, hesitating for a moment. This evening marked that it
had been a fortnight since he’d returned to Dunvegan Castle and his clan.
He drew a tight breath. And every day since, his marriage-minded sisters
and sisters-in-law had been parading at least one local lady before him with
the hopes that she would catch his eye.
Tonight, he was certain they would bring forth Arabella, Gwendolyn’s
sixteen-year-old sister, as a potential mate. At least that was what
Gwendolyn, his brother Alastair’s wife, had intimated early in the day.
Drawing a fortifying breath, he stepped from the chamber and was met by
his sister Rowena.
“There you are. I was just coming up to look for you,” Rowena said.
The fact that she had been leaning against the wall belied her statement.
She’d been waiting for him to emerge. “What took you so long?” Her dark
eyes narrowed.
It gave him a start every time how much Rowena looked like their
mother. Dark hair, dark eyes, but with a kindness that seemed to shine from
within. “I had a little trouble with my tartan.” It was a partial truth and as
good an excuse as any for why he had lingered in his chamber so long.
“Come.” Rowena looped her arm through his, trying to pull him
forward. “Arabella waits in the great hall for you.”
Keiran remained where he stood, resisting. Stolen by the fairies as a
child, he’d been magically aged from only a month old to three and twenty
by the fairy king who had no liking for infants. Oberon had aged him
maturity-wise as well, though at times he still felt childlike in that he
wanted to rage sometimes against all that had happened to him. He was a
fairy, yet he was human.
He belonged to two different families, two
different worlds. His human family wanted so much for him to be like
them, to pretend he’d never left them. But he had. He’d been a fairy for a
while. Could he ever fully leave that part of himself behind and be the
MacLeod they wanted?
Every day he tried to adjust to his new life among not only his kin, but
also humans and their strange ways, such as why all the women of the
castle seemed to want him to marry before he even figured out who he truly
was in this realm. “Why are all of you so eager to see me wed?”
Rowena’s features fell. “We simply want you to be happy.”
“Wouldn’t I be happier if I was allowed to choose a bride myself? And
in my own time?” he asked.
“It is just that since you’ve returned you have been so aloof, so sullen. I
know all of us and this castle are unfamiliar to you, but we . . .” Rowena’s
features pinched. “I want to see you settled or at least happy before Marcus
and I leave on the morrow.”
