Chapter 4 Reiver:Redemption
When they fall in love with a city,
it is for forever and it is like forever.
Toni Morrison.
It was a Friday evening as Annie and Hugh were driving down to Edinburgh to take Brother Andrew up on his offer of seeing the relics of Menai. It was the first time Annie had left the Highlands in over a year so they going to make the most of it, they had plans to visit Pete and Sarah while they were there, they hadn’t even met Finn yet and it was something that Annie was really looking forward to.
Camron was sat at his desk as Annie and Hugh entered the apartment building and he nodded his hello, smiling at them as he mind linked them both.
“Welcome back Mr and Mrs Crozier.”
“Good to see you Camron.” answered Hugh through the mind-link.
“The cleaners have serviced your apartment and the fridge is well stocked as you requested.”
“Thank you.” replied Annie, retu

My heart is, and always will be yours. Jane Austen. While Sarah was looking at books with Finn, Annie wandered around looking at the new releases. There were a few historical novels that looked interesting but then she spotted one that really caught her eye. She wandered over to the very busy display, it was much busier here than anywhere else in the store. Picking up a copy of the book she flipped it over to read the blurb on the back. She was surprised to see it was a book about the Templars when she was jostled from all sides as shoppers grabbed a copy for themselves. Frowning, Annie moved away from the crowd and flicked through the book, it seemed the book depicted the Templars as humans and the main protagonist, an expert on historical symbols, was on some sort of quest. Annie bought herself the book with a promise to herself that she would read it to see what all the fuss was about. Before Annie and Sarah had

Running away was easy, not knowing what to do next was the hard part. Glenda Millard. The mini bus was crowded and uncomfortable with six wolves and all their luggage all crammed in the back but Duncan was just glad that they weren’t in Brother Andrew’s car, this was luxury compared to that. They drove for three hours up the A9 until they reached Inverness. Brother Andrew pulled into a service station to let everyone out to stretch their legs. “Make sure you use the bathroom here, we won’t be able to stop until we reach our own territory in the Highlands.” announced Brother Andrew to the group. “Won’t be able to?” asked Duncan. “Why?” “We will be travelling through Reiver territory, while we have special permission to pass through, we don’t have permission to stop, the Reiver’s do not appreciate rogues on their pack lands.” “Oh.” was all Duncan could find to say. He knew all packs disliked rogues, his

The only way to find your voice is to use it. Jen Mueller. Brother Andrew set off early the following morning hoping to be back in Edinburgh by the middle of the afternoon. He had been to the pack house in Thurso and had a productive meeting with Alpha Solomon the previous night. The Alpha had liked the idea of their history being properly documented and he had also expressed an interest in meeting Annie too so when stopped in Inverness for coffee he decided to call her to see he could arrange a meeting. He pulled out her card and tapped her number into his phone, Annie answered on the second ring. “Hello?” “Mrs. Crozier, it’s Brother Andrew here, I wondered we could meet at the Chapel this afternoon? I have some good news.” “Yes of course, what time?” asked Annie, she was excited at the thought of getting her teeth into another project, especially one that hadn’t been written before. They agree

Life is filled with secrets. You can’t learn them all at once. Dan Brown. Over the next three weeks Annie and Hugh methodically worked their way around the room, reading and photographing. At the end of each day Annie would upload each photo and put all the documents in date order. Brother Andrew had arranged for internet connection in the vault and any other equipment they needed which speeded up the process no end. They had found quite a few family trees that were all mixed up but Annie estimated that 90% of it was there and readable. Once put together they gave an almost full picture of an ancient aristocratic French family which started with Menai’s children and ended with De Payens, the founder of the Templars. As they emerged from the vault one day Annie’s mobile rang, it was her colleague, the expert on Templar history so she pressed ‘accept’ and went outside to answer the call. “Miss Lovell, it’s Professor Ba

I am a warrior I am a champion I am a beast. ANON. Sarah and Pete pulled into the grounds of the Rosewell school to drop Finn at nursery for the day. As Pete climbed out of the car he saw Hugh and Annie in the distance walking across the grounds. “Hi, what you up to?” said Pete through the mind link, surprised to see them. Annie and Hugh looked around until they saw Pete and Sarah and headed in their direction. “This place is still being watched.” said Annie as they made their way across the car park. “I know, I feel it too, so does Pete by the looks of it.” observed Hugh as they saw Pete glancing around. Sarah walked around the car with Finn in her arms, he immediately held his arms out to Annie and she lifted him onto her hip while tickling him. “Hello little man, are you off to school?” she said to the smiling boy. “Yeah, how come you’re here so ear

What seems threatening is just the echo of the fear in my own heart. Haruki Murakami. Brother Andrew arrived at the apartment and as Hugh let him in to the lobby he saw how stressed and tired he looked. He led the monk up in the lift and they entered the apartment and through to the living room where Annie was already doing an internet search on white crosses on a black background. “I’ve just got back from the city to find out that two separate groups of people have been trying to either get into the vault or have been trying to dig beneath the altar.” he said exasperated. Annie and Hugh looked at him with alarm. “Luckily I had doubled the guard and the tour guides so there were plenty of people to stop them but I have no idea what in the name of the Goddess is going on. After the first break in I found the pin badge I told you about but I thought it could have come from anyone so I didn’t think too muc

There are no secrets that time does not reveal. Jean Racine. Monday morning dawned cold but bright and sunny and the Croziers were back at Rosslyn Chapel before the crowds arrived to continue to document and sort the archives. By the end of the day, Annie estimated they had only managed to do about a quarter of the scrolls and documents so far. “We are going to be at this for months.” sighed Annie looking at her mate. Hugh grinned at her. “Imagine how great this book is going to be though!” “Yeah, maybe I should do this for the Reivers too!” she laughed. “Oh no, I think we’ve got too many skeletons in the closet for Alpha Armstrong to agree to that.” laughed Hugh. “But you never know, he might let you.” “I doubt it, did you ask him about access to the Templar related documents?” “I’ve put in a request, still waiting to hear.” he answered. “Come on, let’s go and get some dinner,

Not to us Goddess. not to us, but to your name give the glory. Templar motto. The fifty mounted Templar warriors were soon joined by fifty of their warrior clansmen who had arrived in wolf form. The mounted Templars were stood in a row just behind the invisible line that was the boundary between the Reiver and human land. Half the Templar warriors were lined up to the right of them and the other half to the left. The Reivers flanked them on both sides and if the idea was to intimidate the Magdalene Knights, Duncan was pretty sure the sight of them would do just that. Each wolf waited in silence straining their ears, listening for the sound of the convoy. Fael was on edge and Burn was snorting and stamping his feet impatiently as the rain continued to steadily fall. Finally, they could hear the sound of car engines but not the gentle hum they were expecting, the engines were revving accom
