in his. "We will discuss names more if I survive your father when we reach Roth."

    "Don't worry, I won't let him hurt you. I killed Junior Johansson; I can handle my father," Tamzin smiled meekly as she wrapped her arm around Will's broad shoulders. He stared at her for a moment; tried to memorize how wavy her hair was and how dark her eyes were. Will leaned in and pressed a gentle kiss to her lips as he wound his fingers in her hair.

    "You're a brave girl for what you did. When you can't sleep and remember all the bad things that have happened to you over the past three months, remember that you killed him. By doing that, you've saved many more than you think," Will said as he kissed her cheek. "Stay in the wagon. We're going to leave shortly."

    "My father has no idea we're coming, does he?" Tamzin asked as she sat up and against the wall of the wagon. "My parents have no idea I'm swelling. I wanted to tell you before anyone else."

    "And our enemies knew before I did," Will said gruffly as he jumped out of the wagon and onto the ground. He wiped the sweat from his brow as he left Tamzin behind. He would never admit it to her, but Will was angry that he didn't know of her condition when he left. Tamzin hadn't maliciously kept it from him, but he should have known. He was the father, after all.

    Will kept his anger and thoughts to himself as he walked by the other wagons and his men. They regarded him with nods, but no one spoke as they packed what little was taken out. Will found Angus being tended to by Seraphina. Will still hadn't spoken to Garrett and this was the first time he saw Seraphina in their travels.

    "I have fed and brushed him, Your Grace," Seraphina said as she handed the brush to Will. "He is a suspicious horse."

    "He doesn't know you. Where is Garrett?" Will asked as he tossed the brush into the nearest wagon and turned his attention back to Seraphina.

    "He is speaking to some men," Seraphina said softly as she looked to her stomach. "I saw you with your wife last night. You love her very much, don't you?"

    "I do love her, which is why I want you hidden. It would upset her to see you and Garrett after what has just happened to her best friend," Will said with a slight sneer. "Garrett couldn't have waited until her body was cold?"

    "I didn't know he was married," Seraphina said, though Will knew it was a lie. She didn't look him in the eye when she made that statement, but Will didn't bother to call her out on it. "I am being kept in another wagon. I didn't have much room to move around, so I thought to do something before we started traveling."

    "We are going to start again soon, so I suggest you return to your wagon," Will said cordially as he put his foot in the stirrup and lifted himself onto Angus' back. "When we are in Roth Territory, I will inform Tamzin of your presence, but not who you are. If she invites you to join her for anything, Garrett was not your lover and is not the father of your unborn child. Do you understand me?"

    "Yes, Your Grace. Thank you for your hospitality, Your Highness," Seraphina said with tears in her eyes as she bowed to Will. Will said nothing as he took Angus' reins and pulled him away from Seraphina. The sun was rising just over the horizon as Will roused his men and led them up front down the path. As the sun continued to rise into the sky, the heat continued to rise as well. The air was thick with humidity and Will heard the groan of his men and himself as they wiped their foreheads clean of sweat and dirt.

    With one hand on the reins, Will loosened the ties of his jerkin and pushed them off his shoulders with a light tunic on underneath. The jerkin was still tucked into his breeches and hung off the back of him as the roads became clearer. They were close to Roth Territory.

    Though it was unbearably warm for Will and the other Northern men, the trees and grass were a lush green and a new smell invaded Will's senses. It was salty, but still pleasant. The air
