Midnight's Warrior by Donna Grant Page A

a time in order to kill Deirdre.”
    “Wait,” Ian interjected before she could continue. “Was this before or after Ramsey was taken?”
    Galen glanced at the table and released a sigh. “After. From what we’ve gathered they knew exactly what happened to Ramsey, and they intended to get him back from Deirdre.”
    “Does Ramsey’s name appear in any of the scanned pages?” Larena asked.
    Reaghan shook her head of curly auburn hair. “Unfortunately no. What’s mentioned over and over is the word mac. ”
    “Which means son,” Isla said.
    Galen nodded slowly. “There’s also mention in there that they no’ only knew their line had a god through it, but they knew exactly who the god would choose.”
    “Ramsey,” Marcail said.
    Lucan leaned forward and said, “You said these Druids were warrior Druids. That they were greatly feared. How did they lose against Deirdre?”
    Galen shrugged and spread his hands wide. “I’ve no idea. All it says is that they went out to fight. When those warriors didna return, more went. It continued that way until the group went from several hundred to a few dozen. When all that remained was a handful of the Druids, females, and children, Deirdre attacked and wiped them out.”
    “Does Ramsey know all of this?” Cara asked.
    Saffron shook her head, her gaze moving from Camdyn’s to Cara’s. “He doesn’t. When he woke Laria he said he wanted to know what happened to his people.”
    “That’s right. He did,” Camdyn said.
    Sonya tucked a strand of her curly red hair behind her ear. “I think we should continue to find out more. Ramsey deserves to know about his people and his family.”
    “I agree,” Gwynn said softly, her Texas accent thick. “But like Saffron, I’ve had a personal run-in with Declan. Can Ramsey really take him on by himself?”
    “I wouldna chance it,” Fallon answered. “Charon and Arran are there, and they’ll call me if there’s trouble. I can have all of them back here in a blink.”
    Dani cleared her throat to gain everyone’s attention. “That’s all well and good, Fallon, and we all love how you can teleport, but it takes time to make that call. If they’re fighting Declan they won’t have that time.”
    Lucan turned his head to look at Fallon who sat next to him. “When is the last time you spoke with Ramsey or the others?”
    “Arran called early this morn,” Fallon responded. “It appears Declan had somehow spoken in Tara’s mind, so Ramsey had Arran bring on the snow.”
    “I knew it was Arran who did the snow,” Ian said with a chuckle.
    Hayden rubbed his chin thoughtfully. “With the amount of snow coming down, no one is moving around up there. It was a wise choice, but then Ramsey always makes good decisions.”
    “That he does,” Logan agreed.
    Broc laid his hands flat on the table and asked, “So what now? We continue to wait?”
    “I’ve got a good lead on the hidden scroll we’re searching for,” Larena said. “While Galen and Reaghan continue their research, we’re still looking for this scroll.”
    Hayden rose and leaned his hands on the table. “As much as I love spending time with Isla, I doona feel right leaving Ramsey, Charon, and Arran to face whatever is coming at them alone. I’m going after them.”
    “As am I,” Logan said, after kissing Gwynn on the cheek.
    Ian gave a nod. “Include me in that.”
    “And me,” Quinn said.
    Fallon rubbed his eyes with his thumb and forefinger before he looked at each of the men and nodded. “I doona want Charon or Arran to know you’re there, but most especially Ramsey. You four will only be there as backup.”
    “Understood,” Hayden said.
    “But I think it’s an excellent idea,” Fallon said with a smile. “I’d like to be with you.”
    “But you’re needed here, my love,” Larena said as she smiled at him. “Who else would jump us from one location to another?”
    After a quick kiss to Larena, Fallon yelled out, “Be ready in half an
