It had taken almost twenty minutes to move the group out of the cave, and then another hour and a half to prepare and cook all the meat. Time that both Rangers knew they could ill afford, but time they both knew they had no choice but to spare. All the women looked as if they had not eaten in days, and all tore into the meat like halved starved animals. In spite of both La Roux’s and Callum’s hunger, they just could not find it within themselves to take any of the food. Depriving even one of them of just a mouthful would feel like they had assaulted the women themselves. Besides, all Rangers were well used to coping with discomforts like hunger. A few days without food was nothing to what either Callum or La Roux could endure. Callum’s gaze turned to the eight pregnant women sat at the center of the group. The others fussed around them and made sure they got more than their fair share of the food. He could tell the ragtag group was held together by both love and loyalty, which was something he understood well.
