Excerpt:
“He had two blades,” Keenan said.
“One was for you. You first so you couldn’t
save your brother. The second was for Lachlan.”
“And ye kent his plan.” Keenan’s calm voice
belied the tenseness she saw in his clenched jaw
line. He wasn’t as calm as he tried to present.
Maybe she was learning how to decipher some
emotions from his face, like normal people had to
do. She studied him as he continued. “So ye
sought the poisoned blades and used yerself as a
shield.”
“Not exactly.” Serena held up her fingers and
waved them. “I sought the blades, but only to
pick them from his pocket.”
“Ye were only able to pick one blade,” he said.
“Ye knew that ye couldn’t grab them both.” She
watched his jaw line begin to tick. Amazing what
one could discern from another without using
magic. He was angry, perhaps furious inside.
“I had to do something,” Serena said.
“I can protect my brother. I have since I could
walk,” Keenan replied flatly.
Serena looked up at him, her eyes narrowed.
“I didn’t grab the blade meant for Lachlan,” she
said and looked back at the cup in her hands.
Her hands shook slightly as she held it to her
parted lips and sipped the broth.
Serena nearly jumped when she felt his
thumb touch her cheek. “Ye protected me.” His
words sounded calm, intrigued, so she looked
back to him. But his eyes held fury, as if all of the
emotion had drained from his words into them.
“Doona do it again.”
