The Mackinnon's Bride
“Lagan and Ranald had been companions since childhood, and Iain could tell his cousin was growing more distressed with every inch of ground they covered in search of his friend.
Iain hadn’t been overly concerned the night before, only because he’d thought Ranald needed time to calm himself—that perhaps his disappearance had been a gesture of defiance. He was well aware the men had been displeased with his decision to bring Page along with them.
Och, but if he thought he despised the name she gav...e him before, he loathed this one all the more. Nay, but ’twas no name at all!
As the party continued to search, Iain considered others that might better suit her—and decided that every last one of them suited her better than Page. The very thought of her father’s insult made his ire rise tenfold. He hacked at a thick vine with the flat of his sword, cutting it in twain with the blunt force of his blow.
Christ and bedamned! Where was Ranald?
Angry as he may have been, Iain knew Ranald would never have deserted them.MoreLess
