“Not going to happen,” Kade said.
“What of the third?”
“You know the story, I see.”
“I know some of the story,” Kasper admitted. “However, none of it came from my brother.”
“I am not willing to put my people in danger. There will be a trial, and he will be sentenced.”
“I understand,” Kaspar said. “But I’ll not allow you to work within the laws your father made.”
“You knew my father?”
“Já.”
“My father did not... shall we say, handle things fairly. I am not him.”
“That’s good to hear,” Kaspar said. “Will you allow me to see my brother?”
“Could I stop you?” Kade challenged.
“No, but I’m giving you the courtesy of asking.”
“Aye, you can see him. But only with me.”
“I understand. I will have my secretary make the arrangements.”
“All right,” Kade said. “I’ll wait for the details.”
Kaspar hung up, tapping his phone with a finger. Ari had always been troubled, but if he did in fact hurt this Megan woman, physically or emotionally, Kaspar was going to have to do something about that. He fired off directions to Camilla and then went about investigating what was on the flash drive.
Kaspar sat in his chair on the plane and stared out the window as they took off. His visit with his brother had not gone as well as he’d hoped, but he’d agreed with Kade that Ari needed to be kept in Edinburgh until they could sort out the truth. Kaspar wasn’t convinced Ari was telling him the whole story, and he couldn’t believe he was heading Stateside again. More than anything, he couldn’t believe he was nervous. He didn’t get nervous, but something on that continent unsettled him.
His cell phone buzzed, and he answered it. “Hi, Gunnar.”
“What’s the matter?” Gunnar asked.
“Nothing, brother.”
“I can feel your distress.”
“I know.” He sighed. “I feel a little unsettled is all.”
“Your mate perhaps?”
Kaspar shook his head. “It can’t be. We have no people there.”
“What if she’s human?”
Kaspar swore.
Gunnar laughed. “Right, we don’t mate with humans. It’s why the Cauld Ane were banished, etcetera, etcetera.”
One of many reasons, Kaspar thought. “We’re taking off.”
“I’ll see you in a few days. Safe travels.”
“Thanks.” Kaspar hung up and turned back to the window, effectively shutting his brother’s words out. At least Portland was cold and wet. If he had to return to the States, he was glad it was in the winter. If he was right and his niece was there, then he could bring her home where she belonged, and Ari could finally get out of Scotland. The deal with Kade Gunnach didn’t leave much room for grace where his brother was concerned. Even Kaspar had to admit if one of the Cauld Ane did to him what Ari had done to them, Kaspar would have reacted the same way. He didn’t know what the hell his brother was thinking, dosing the entire royal family with Red Fang. He rubbed his chin in thought. Things were going to change.
