I’ll never second-guess what stares me in the face again.” Rionna frowned and slid her hand over his chest as she snuggled into his side. I allowed my heart to discount evidence that my mind knew was sound. “Your clan is rebuilt, your people thrive, you’ve made an alliance that will save many from Cameron’s ruthless ambition.” “Nothing I do will ever give me and my brothers back our father,” he said simply. One day she’ll pay for her sins, just as I’ll pay for mine.” “You don’t think you’ve made good on your mistakes?” Rionna asked.
’Tis a reminder of how I allowed a woman I cared for to destroy my clan.” “Where is she now?” “I don’t know. She laughed to my face and when I turned away, she drew a knife and plunged it into my back.” “The scar above your side,” Rionna whispered. This part of the story she hadn’t heard before. I was sure there had been some mistake.” Rionna winced and blew out her breath. I searched her out, determined to hear her explanation from her own lips. “I was presented solid evidence that my head knew had to be true but my heart told me she couldn’t have possibly betrayed me. “What happened then?” “I didn’t believe them,” he said in disgust. “The remaining members of our clan told me of Elsepeth’s involvement, but my shame doesn’t end there.” Rionna’s brows drew together.
