her throat and grabbed the basket of biscuits. “I think we need to take the rest of the food out to the others.”
    Camdyn took a step back and dropped his arms from around Saffron. “Are you all right?”
    Saffron licked her lips and nodded. Camdyn frowned and turned on his heel and left.
    “That’s a strange one,” Gwynn said.
    Dani shrugged. “Not so strange. Just … quiet and withdrawn. I think there’s more to him than anyone realizes.”
    Saffron merely watched his retreat without adding to the conversation, because she knew there was much more to Camdyn.

 
    CHAPTER
    FOUR
    Camdyn resumed his seat at the table, inwardly chiding himself for racing to Saffron. Just because he felt the fear in her magic.
    He wasn’t her protector, nor did she need one in the castle. Especially now that she could see again.
    So why had he found himself in the kitchen before he realized what he was doing? Camdyn dearly wished he knew the answer. Whatever it was about Saffron that pulled at him was a damned inconvenience. And he wanted it to stop.
    Immediately.
    He couldn’t concentrate on the tasks at hand with his need so close to the surface and surging to life whenever she was near.
    “What’s this about a vision?” Larena asked when Saffron, Dani, and Gwynn emerged from the kitchen.
    Saffron swallowed, nonplussed by the knowledge that Larena’s advanced hearing, as well as that of the rest of the Warriors in the castle, had enabled her to hear about the vision.
    “I saw Declan,” Saffron said as she took her seat. “He was looking for a woman, and it was important. He was … anxious to find her.”
    “That doesna bode well,” Galen said around a mouthful of food.
    Saffron dished some eggs onto her plate before passing it on. “As I’ve told you all before, what I see in my visions is always incomplete. I don’t know when it will occur or if it’s something that has already happened.”
    “But you do know he’s looking for someone,” Ian said.
    “It appears so,” she answered. She sighed and licked her lips. “The female he was questioning feared him. Immensely. She’s older, so the woman he searches for could be her daughter or niece.”
    Marcail leaned forward to look at Saffron. “You didn’t happen to get a name, did you?”
    “No. I just saw Declan, the woman, and someone holding her. Declan was furious and irritated.” Saffron paused, her brow furrowed. “Almost as if he needed to find this other woman soon.”
    “Let us know if you learn any more, Saffron,” Fallon said. “The more we know about Declan the better.”
    Camdyn watched her eyes harden and her lips flatten out of the corner of his eyes. He understood Saffron’s anger. He had his own for Deirdre. If anyone was justified in killing Declan it was Saffron, for the spells and torture he put her through for those years. And God only knew what else the demented man had done to her.
    Camdyn knew how vicious her nightmares were. The terror and dread that mingled with her magic when she was caught in a nightmare left Camdyn ill at ease. Agitated.
    At least now he no longer felt that thread of drough magic mingled with Saffron’s. He never thought anyone could rival Deirdre’s black magic, but Declan, it seemed, came mighty close.
    That Declan had been able to penetrate Saffron’s mind and mix with her magic had definitely made Camdyn wary. But despite all that Declan had done to her, Saffron was steadfast in her views and her magic.
    Declan might have taken her eyesight and her life for those years, but he hadn’t dampened her spirit or destroyed her magic.
    Although Camdyn would have liked to learn more about what Declan had done to Saffron, everyone’s attention was focused on getting to Laria and ending Deirdre. So his curiosity would have to wait. Which was probably for the best since he didn’t trust himself to get too close to her.
    Whenever he did, he wanted to hold her as he’d done in the kitchen. Granted, she’d been
