They were nearing the cabin and she knew instantly there were people inside.
So shocked at this, forgetting to hide her gift, she whispered, “Callum, there are people –”
“Quiet.”
“But –”
His arms grew so tight they almost, but not quite, hurt.
She thought it prudent to be quiet so she did.
He walked right in the porch door through to the cabin’s backdoor and straight into the cabin.
There were four people there. All tall. All looking a lot like Callum, three even had sky blue eyes but one had green. One was a woman.
They were all staring at Callum and Sonia with knowing, amused expressions on their faces.
Callum ignored them and tossed Sonia on the bed.
Sonia bounced then settled and looked up at Callum’s handsome but enraged face, not knowing what to do or if she’d live long enough to do it.
Callum’s voice was back to even and calm when he stated, “So yesterday was a lie.”
Knowing this voice heralded the scary roar if she said the wrong thing, Sonia decided not to speak at all.
And anyway, they had an audience.
Were they going to do this in front of an audience?
“Answer me,” Callum demanded.
Apparently they were going to do this in front of an audience.
“Um…” Sonia muttered.
“Answer me!”
There it was, the roar.
Okay, maybe he was a murdering, kidnapping madman and there was a better way to play it. She just didn’t know what that was and she was so angry, she didn’t care.
She threw off the blanket and got to her knees, shouting, “You kidnapped me!”
“I told you, Sonia –”
“I know what you told me!” she interrupted on a shriek. “That I’m your mate, your queen, yadda, yadda, yadda. Do I get a say in this?” she demanded.
“No you bloody well don’t!” he shouted back.
“Well, that’s unacceptable!” she yelled. “It’s even insane!”
“I take you down the mountain, I put you in your house, I take away your guard, you’ll be kidnapped and killed within days,” he clipped.
“Seriously,” she muttered scornfully.
“Seriously,” he shot back.
“I –” she started.
