Wolf's Kissed

Part 35.

Fenrir's Pov.

Some Time Later, Wessex. 

The trip west was well I do not know there was tension on the boat, Ragnar shared that Athelstan is still alive and that King Horik made him believe that he was dead. For the rest I do not know why the tension between us is growing. 

Well I think I do know and that is because I have wed Lagertha and she gave birth to one of my sons while the other is growing in her belly. Maybe if she would have given Ragnar more sons, he never would have slept with Aslaug that never would have gotten her pregnant and then she maybe would have never left him. In general the tension in this camp is growing and growing, Ragnar is planning something and knowing Ragnar he will not speak of his plan with us.

Seeing King Horik move over to him soon Lagertha follow while I slowly walk over with my axe in hand. 

"Where is Torstein going?" King Horik asks as indeed Torstein is getting ready to leave as he mounts a horse. "I sent him to inform the king of our return. " Ragnar responds making me shake my head as warriors gather around the place. 

"Why?" 

"So he knows that we are here to talk... And not to fight. " Ragnar repsonds before taking another bite of his piece of meat.

"And you did that without consulting with me." King Horik states as he briefly looks in the direction of me and Lagertha, see! Doing things without consulting us! 

"I thought you would all agree." Ragnar counters making me shake my head, he knew they would never agree or at least King Horik would not. "Why should you think that?" King Horik states while tension, god's you have got to love it. 

"Because it is a sensible policy. Fine, I will...Unfortunately, it is too late to recall Torstein." Ragnar says as he turns in the direction of Torstein only to see him disappear into the trees, as he once again begins to eat. 

"You should have discussed it with us; King Horik is right." Lagertha speaks making a low growl leave my lips at his next words. "I will try to remember that the next time, Earl Ingstad."

"There is not going to be a next time, Ragnar, unless you agree you will never ever do anything again without consulting with me first. For you and I are not equals. So, what do you propose now?" King Horik says as he takes a seat opposite  from Ragnar on a piece of log while I tilt my head to the side as I continue to stare at my brother. 

"Wait." Ragnar simply speaks before Lagertha speaks. "For what?" 

"The unexpected." 

"Let me tell you what to expect, hmm? King Ecbert will send some envoy to trick us, or he will send some army to annihilate us." King Horik speaks with anger that is not misplaced before he stands up and slams his axe into the piece of walk, seeing him walk off with his son and some of his men I shake my head before walking off myself. 

"You do not wish to eat with your brothers, Wolf's Kissed." He yells after me making Hati turn around as he shows his teeth at Ragnar while snarls leave his lips. "Come on Hati, we should not waste or time when Earl Ragnar is dinning." I say as I stroke his fur before we start walking towards mine and Lagertha's tent. 

"Do not let him anger you ." Lagertha says as she walks in making me shake my head as a sigh leaves my lips. "He does not anger me, his actions anger me." I mumble as she walks in front of me with a raised brow and a smile on her lips. "That is the same thing." She states making me tilt my head to the side. "No you can love a person, but sometimes they do things that simply do not deserve your love. I am not angry at him, I am angry at how he has been letting this tension grown between us and now does things without speaking to either of us. " I speak before I place my hand on her stomach.
