Chapter 51

Ayla’s PovI woke to voices. For a moment I didn't know where I was. There was a blanket over me, heavier than the one I'd fallen asleep under, and the wooden floor of the wagon was cold against my hip. The light had turned gray and low. Someone was talking, close by, in a quiet, easy voice. I knew it before I opened my eyes.⠀"The commander sent me," Haldor said. "He needs you at the narrows. They're short of hands for the wounded."⠀"He told me to stay here," the old warrior said.⠀"And now he's told me to fetch you."⠀"He said not to leave her side."⠀"I'm standing right here, old man. She's safe." I heard Haldor shift his weight. "Go, or I'll tell him you refused a direct order. I doubt he'd like that."⠀I lay still with my eyes shut. I could hear the old warrior breathing, slow and uncertain. I could picture his face, the stubborn set of his mouth, the way he looked at the ground when he didn't like what he was hearing.⠀"I'll be quick," the old warrior said at last.⠀"Ta

Chapter 52

Ayla’s Pov I stopped thinking for a while and fought back. I hit Haldor in the face with my free hand, as hard as I could. It wasn't much, but it caught him off guard. His head snapped sideways. I kicked at his knee and felt my boot connect, and he grunted and let go of my wrist for half a second. I tore free and tried to run. ⠀ He caught me by the cloak and dragged me back. ⠀ "You little bitch!" ⠀ "Help!" I screamed. "Somebody hel…" ⠀ His hand came over my mouth, and I bit it. He swore and jerked away, and I screamed again, louder, with everything I had. The sound seemed to go nowhere. It bounced off the rocks and the canvas and died. ⠀ "Nobody's coming," Haldor said. He was breathing hard now. He pushed me down against the wheel again, and this time he was strong enough that I couldn't get my arms up. "Stop. Stop fighting. You'll only hurt yourself." ⠀ I couldn't breathe properly. I couldn't think. All I knew was Haldor's weight on me, the cold snow soaking through my l

Chapter 53

Darius’s PovI didn’t remember crossing the distance between us. One moment, I was standing beside the wagon. The next, my fist slammed into Haldor’s chest, sending him stumbling backward into the side of the wagon. Before he could recover, I grabbed the front of his cloak and punched him in the face. He went down on one knee. I pulled him up and hit him again.⠀“Wait…” Haldor spat blood and raised an arm. “Wait, Commander, wait…”I ignored him. My fist struck his ribs, followed by a punch to the jaw. He staggered sideways across the wet snow and fell. I stood over him, breathing hard. Behind me, boots pounded against the ground as voices called out to one another. Ayla’s scream had drawn the entire camp.⠀"Get up," I said.⠀"You're mad," Haldor said. He scrambled back on his elbows, wiping his mouth. "You're out of your mind. Look at me. I only wanted to talk to her."⠀"With your hands on her throat?"⠀"She's mine!" He said it loudly enough for the crowd to hear. "She was promis

Chapter 54

Darius’s PovThe crowd opened. The man with the gray braid came through at a fast walk, with the sharp-faced commander behind him. He was broad and stern, and the warriors made room for him without being asked. He stopped at the edge of the ring and looked from Haldor's bloody face to me, and then at the overturned barrel and the broken pole.⠀"Somebody tell me," he said. "Now."⠀Nobody spoke at first. Then the young warrior with the split lip stepped forward.⠀"The commander found Haldor with the girl," he said. "He was holding her against the wagon. She was screaming. We heard it from the cook fires."⠀"That's not what happened," Haldor said.⠀"Her throat is marked," said the woman by the front. "I saw it and her cloak's torn."⠀The man with the gray braid looked at me. "Is that true, Commander?"⠀"I came around the wagon and saw it myself," I said. "I didn't hear anything but Ayla calling out. Then I saw his hands."⠀"She belonged to me," Haldor said hoarsely. "Everyone

Chapter 55

Darius’s Pov They made the ring on a flat patch of ground beside the wagons, packing the snow down with their boots. Men formed a wall around it, three deep. Someone brought two plain swords, heavy ones, the kind the Northerners carried. I took one and tested it. My shoulder pulled where the old cut had never fully healed. ⠀ I hadn't slept in two nights. I had ridden to the narrows and back. I had fought a dozen Eastern riders before breakfast. My arms felt weak, and my legs were stiff with cold. I knew it. Haldor knew it too. I could see it in the way he rolled his shoulders and stepped into the ring, loose and easy, like a man who had just woken from a good night's sleep. ⠀ I took off my cloak and gloves and stood across from him. ⠀ "Begin," said the man with the gray braid. ⠀ Haldor came at me at once. He was fast. I had known he would be strong, but I hadn't expected him to move so quickly for his size. His first cut came down from above. I got my blade up in tim

Chapter 56

Darius’s PovMagnar kept looking at me, and I couldn’t tell what he was thinking. After a moment, he gave me a small nod. I remembered that same look from the day I first took command in the valley. He didn’t say anything, but I understood. He still didn’t trust me completely, but at least he knew I wasn’t going to let Haldor hurt Ayla again.⠀I turned and saw Ayla. She sat on the crate with a blanket around her shoulders. The old warrior stood beside her. She had stopped crying, but her face remained pale, and a bruise had begun to form on her throat. She looked straight at me, her lips parted and her eyes wide. I had never spoken about her that way before, not even once. I’d always told her it was about the child and only practical. I could see the questions on her face. Until now, she’d believed me. After what I’d said in front of everyone, I wasn’t sure she believed me anymore. I didn't say anything, and I wasn't ready to.⠀"Take her to my tent," I told the old warrior. "Get her

Chapter 57

Ayla’s PovNobody said anything for a long time. Darius stood in the doorway of the tent, and I sat on the blankets with the cup in my hands. The lamp hissed on its hook.⠀"You should lie down," he said at last.⠀"I will," I said.⠀"The healer left something for the bruise. It's by your feet."⠀"Yeah, I know, I saw it."⠀"Okay." He looked at the old warrior. "Stay here tonight. I'll sleep outside."⠀"You don't have to do that," I said.⠀"I know." He didn't say anything else. He gave me one more look, short and hard to read, and then he stepped back out into the cold. The flap fell shut behind him.⠀I sat there thinking about what Darius had said. “Ayla is my woman.” He had said it in front of the whole camp, where everyone could hear him. I kept remembering those words. He had sounded so sure of himself, as if he didn’t even need to think before saying them. Then he told the old warrior he would sleep outside. He acted as if nothing had happened, but I couldn’t stop thinking a

Chapter 58

Ayla’s PovThe Eastern wolves came for the first time on the third day. It wasn't a real attack. I was walking beside the wagons in the early afternoon when a horn went off at the back of the line, one long blast, and then I heard shouting. Warriors ran past me toward the rear. A few seconds later, an arrow thudded into the side of a wagon not far from my head.⠀"Get down, miss!" the old warrior said, grabbing my arm.⠀"Where are they?" I asked.⠀"The ridge, behind us."⠀I crouched behind the wheel and watched. It was over almost as quickly as it had started. A handful of riders came down the slope, loosed a volley of arrows, and wheeled away before the Northern warriors could reach them. They hit two of our men. One of them fell off his horse. By the time the line had formed, the Eastern riders had vanished over the ridge.⠀"That's all?" I asked.⠀"That's all," the old warrior said. He let go of my arm. "They'll be back."⠀He was right. They came again that night, at the edge

Chapter 59

Ayla’s PovI tried to keep myself busy. There was plenty to do to assist the healers. They were short-handed, so I carried water and clean linen to the tent, where they worked on the wounded. I held a basin for a young warrior with an arrow in his shoulder. I tore strips of cloth until my fingers ached. When the healer told me to sit down, I sat for five minutes and then got up again. It was full dark by the time I finished. The camp had gone quiet. Cook fires burned low, and men sat around them in small groups, eating in silence. I took a bowl from the old warrior and held it without eating.⠀"He'll be back soon," the old warrior said.⠀"He said a few hours," I said.⠀"It's been two."⠀"I can count."⠀"Course you can, miss." He sat down next to me. "I'm only saying."⠀I put the bowl down. I walked to the edge of the wagons and looked out into the dark. There was nothing there but black ground and the faint line of the ridge against the stars. I listened for hooves. I heard wind
