Cian and Beck shared a look between them.
“One of us should go and one should stay here with Meg until we
determine if it’s safe,” Beck said.
“The women have gathered at the miller’s house,” Eiric offered.
“Bri’s mother is very distraught. The queen would be very welcome
there.”
“Assign a guard to the house,” Cian ordered.
“At least three,” Beck added.
Beck turned to her, but Meg knew her duty. “Don’t worry about it.
I’ll get dressed and go to Bri’s mother. Niall can take me. You and Ci
go and find out what’s going on.”
Beck sighed and leaned down for a kiss. “Stay safe, wife.”
Meg held Beck’s hand as she reached up to kiss Cian. It felt so
right when the three of them were physically connected. “You two do
the same. Come and get me when you’re done.”
Beck whistled, and Sweeney appeared from the fields where he
tended to run free during the day. As her husbands followed Eiric,
Meg raced into the cottage, promising Niall she would be swift.
Meg quickly changed into soft brown trousers and a linen shirt.
She shoved her boots on and laced up the black vest that completed
the outfit. She had a more formal dress, but she wanted to be prepared
to work if she had to.
Meg grabbed her satchel and draped it across her shoulder so it
hung over her torso and rested against the opposite hip. She made sure
she had the small medicinal kit Flanna had taught her to use. Just as
she was going back out the door, the vampire computer caught her
eye. She picked it up and slipped it into the satchel. It couldn’t hurt. If nothing else, it played movies from the Vampire plane. Perhaps a
movie would entertain the children.
“I’m ready, Niall,” she called out as she walked through the door.
