At the naon perked up Good So ill have awith her

It’s probably the only one, so don’t get your hopes up

I still say we should find ways to see her again If you pushed aside your bitterness, you’d see what I see

What? And have another female use me and toss me away like Nerina did?

She fooled you, not me That’s why you should listen this time

Not wanting to deal with an arguing dragon, A

aron constructed a hed in relief when his beast’s roars weren’t et some bloody work done

Because noway Aaron was going to kiss Teagan O’Shea Females were off the table for the next few years His ti his clan safe

Or, as his current assign the Irish clan’s safety

As they finally walked away fro shape of an old castle careat hall In daylight, he could better see the stonesup the walls as well as the turrets “I wasn’t awareto be a clan-wide issue”

“It isn’t,” the teenager merely stated, a note of finality in his voice

The , but he was dedicated Aaron didn’t think he’d spill any more inforreat hall and down a set of stairs However, instead of turning down a corridor like his last visit, they went down a few hts of stairs

When they had to be fairly far underground, the male finally turned down a hallway and stopped at the door at the end He rapped five times and then left the way he came without another word

Not to mention that since female leaders were viewed as weaker, Killian was the public face of the clan To most of the world, Killian O’Shea was clan leader

Killian grunted “Come in quietly”

His curiosity piqued, Aaron complied However, the room was empty except for him, Killian, and a table with chairs There wasn’t even a picture on theon, but Killian’s glare silenced him

Taking a seat, Aaron hoped his assigner he could prevent hi as really on his mind and that wouldn’t do since Stonefire and Brathen their alliance with the Irish clan

He’d just have to focus on the end ga his on calmed the fuck down As if to make a point, his beast pounded on the mental walls, but they held

Aaron tapped his fingers against the table and waited for Teagan to arrive

Teagan O’Shea laid a hand on the ar next to her “Are you sure she’s not merely out for an adventure? Sadie has found herself in trouble before for sneaking away”

Eliza Kavanagh shook her head, her short, gray curls bouncing around her face “My Sadie isn’t one to be overly dra aith that male in a note, she’s done it”
