All Chapters of My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian : Chapter 331 - Chapter 340

SeraI watched her cross the yard. She went fast, elbows tight, and Jace saw her coming and had time to get one word out before she was on him, and then I couldn't hear any of it, which was probably a mercy. Her hands moved. His didn't, mostly. At one point she hit him in the chest, then again, and again. He took her by the wrist and drew her a few steps off toward the front of the column where the horses screened them. He put himself between her and the rest of the yard and bent his head down to hers. Whatever he said, I didn't get it. I saw the shape of him saying it. I saw her stop trying to pull her wrist back.Fenris got up off his knee beside me, brushing the snow off it, watching the same thing I was watching."Told you she would hate you," I said.He grunted, but didn’t say anything else.He watched his sister a second longer, some weight moving behind his eyes that he didn't put words to, and then he set it down."Come," he said to me. Then without looking to the side, he c

JaceI can't tell her why they want me, because I half don't know it myself, and the half I do know isn't mine to hand out. That book was shown to me behind a closed door. A man doesn't get shown a thing like that and then go repeat it in a yard to settle his girlfriend, not if he wants to be shown anything ever again. So I want to be shown things. Being shown things is the whole game.So I do the only thing left, which is the cheap thing, and I hate that it's the cheap thing but I do it anyway. I get my hands up over her fists, both of them, and I hold on, and I lie by leaving things out."Hey. Hey baby. Look at me." She won't. "Mina. Look at me." She does, and her eyes are wet and furious and there's a red patch coming up on each cheek from the cold or the crying, I can't tell which, probably both. "I'm not going to be anywhere near the front of anything. You hear me? Your brother's got twenty men who've done this before and one southerner in a coat that doesn't fit. Where do you t

JaceI know what I saw across that fire. She was watching a thing happen that she could have easily stopped, and she was choosing to let it happen anyway , and she was making sure her hands stayed clean while she did it.That's her. If it is her, that's exactly her. She wouldn't push me onto the horse. She'd only decline to take me off it. She'd let her husband's war do the thing she wanted done and she'd stand there in the cold with nothing on her face and let me ride off toward the worst thing on the continent, and if I never came back she'd be able to say, truthfully, that she never touched me.The beauty of it, the part that would make me tip my hat if it were anybody but me on the horse, is I can't accuse her of anything. Accuse her of what? Standing quietly? Letting her husband run his own expedition? There's no crime in the room. There's only a man who talked his way onto a ride he'd have been smarter to talk his way out of, and a woman who watched him do it and kept her mouth s

SeraI bit back my first response, glancing around to make sure we weren't drawing any attention. The mounted men were all looking at Fenris, their faces pale in the torchlight. I turned back to Mina, speaking through gritted teeth."I swear to the gods, if he had told me early enough, I would have let you know. I just found out the same way you did. Now. Here. In the yard."Mina stared at me for a long moment, her eyes searching my face. I let her look. Let her see everything I wasn't saying. She didn't trust me anymore. I knew that for a fact.Why should she? Alas, she didn't know Jace any better than I did. I was doing her a favour by putting him on horseback with Fenris. She should be grateful."You're a piece of shit," she said at last.I was quiet. I looked away, watching the column. Not responding to Mina's insult. I deserved that much. We had recently just reconciled, and now we were at it again. I was purposely putting a wrench in our relationship all over again by letting Ja
