She was addressed only once, and it was brief. His words brought nothing but a soft chuckle from pale jaws that rattled her bodice. One day? It was all in due time. Taurig wasted no time in presenting his offer. When he had first told her about it, the russet Queen was shocked. He was giving up Tortuga, handing it over to the pale bastard. She knew her brother would do anything to get his wife back so it should have been no surprise. But she wondered how Maija would take it? The russet woman forced herself not to look at her Queen, her father didn't need to know anything more than what Taurig told him. Relief shot through her when the ghost accepted it, with only one condition. She had no idea who this woman was that the two males spoke up, no idea what she looked like or what had happened, she made a mental not to ask Taurig about it later. Relief rolled off her brother in waves. It was only then that she would meet Maija's gaze for a second time, silently beckoning her to safety. There was no reason to linger. It was far more preferable to return home instead, she didn't want to spend anymore time in the presence of evil.
Every word that her father spoke was locked away, never to be forgotten. Briefly, she wondered who would take over Tortuga, and what would become of Glaciem and its pack. What would become of the rest of the packs now that her father had control over two packs? Tensions would run high, but the young Queen knew that they would be safe on their island, isolated from the pale King, minimizing the possibility of an ambush. They would finally sleep peacefully. |
