Jayden cast a lethal glare at Alasdair and fingered the hilt of his sword. “Explain tae me why you lied. You told me you dinna know the lass you claimed to find on the beach.” “I spoke the truth. When I came upon her, she was unconscious. I dinna have any idea who she was or how long she’d been there. At first I thought her dead, but when I realized she was still breathing, my only concern was tae get her out of the frigid water and tae find somewhere warm and dry, so I could tend her injuries. Who she was mattered naught.” Jayden’s posture stiffened and he took a menacing step forward. “She wasna unconscious for a whole sennight. When she awakened, you should have come for me, or brought her home? Mayhap, you were more interested in sating your needs.” The words of his childhood companion cut through him like a blade. “What are you suggesting?” Alastair clenched his teeth, fighting hard not to lose his temper. Jayden and his father were understandably shocked to learn that Edina was alive, but he never dreamed his friends would question his honor.
