Staring up at him in confusion, Tyale reached out and curled her hands about his cheeks. “What’s wrong?”

He released a pent-up breath, pressing his face against the palms of her hands. “Everythin’.”

She frowned. “I don’t understand.”

Rolling off of her, he lay back against the make-shift bed and stared up at the cave’s ceiling. “Ya dun belong tah me, Ty,” he whispered. “I have no right tah touch ya.”

She rose onto her left elbow and said, “You know that’s not true.”

He turned in her direction, the flickers of the fire nearby throwing shadows across his face. “Isn’t it?”

“It’s not. My blood runs through your veins. It’s been that way ever since I saved your life a long time ago. You’re an avid part of who I am. You know that as well as I do.”

“Ya were six-years-old. Ya had no idea what ya were doin’.”

“I knew enough to save your life!”

“‘At’s beside the point. I’ve no right tah lay hands on a woman ‘at will never belong tah me, much less the Princess.”

Her nostrils flared with anger. “Princess or not, I have the right to decide what’s best for me. I’ll be dammed if I’ll allow someone else to dictate my life for me.”

He snorted, smirking slightly. “Yoo’d love tah think ‘at, but the truth is, ya were born tah serve a purpose. One, unfortunately, ya have tah follow through on. What ya want dun matter. It never has. In the end, yoo’ll do what ya were meant tah do.”

She sniffed, blinking back a fresh wave of tears. “What if I don’t want to?”

His resolve broke and he reached out to pull her to him. “Yoo’ll have tah,” he whispered, burying his face within her auburn curls.
