Seducing a Barbarian (Not-So-Savage Barbarians #3)

Twenty-One

FEIGRIND

I rode hard from sun up to sun down to get here as quickly as possible. Uttin was not far behind me. I wasn’t sure about the rest. I didn’t wait to see who would follow. I could only think of Simon. Feiskedr was insulted after the last blood duel when we wouldn’t give up Simon. I should have known he would come back. The Fer’na were not honorable. We should not have allowed them into the village in the first place.

I heard Simon’s challenge as I approached, and Feiskedr’s refusal, but I knew what I must do. Feiskedr had been a warrior almost longer than I had been alive, but it did not matter. I had to protect Simon.
