Rowenawasa good match for me.
She was strong, she didn’t bend. She had experience with the struggles of leadership and knew when to guide me to making a decision. She stood at my side, allowing me to take the lead, but giving me the support and knowledge I needed to stand up to Dallin.
Shewasa good match for me, and exactly who my clan needed.
If I could convince her to stay.
Ye have to.
Aye, I had to. Not just for me, but for my clan, my people.
They needed her too.
I planted my palms on the table and pushed myself to my feet. I needed to go to the mainland to face Callor. And I needed to be certain she would be waiting for me when I returned.
I had to convince her to stay. To be my Mate.
“Ready the ore,” I commanded my brother, my voice rough. “We’ll leave the day after tomorrow.”
‘Twould give me the time I needed to claim Rowena.
If she’d have me.
