Something Wild In Anchorage (Alaska Adventure Romance Book 5)
Page 8
Ulriq’s father was the leader of the tribe and he tried to remind the people each year of their connection to the island and the animals that shared the land. Many of the people cared less and less for their heritage and more for the fancy things the Russian traders gave to them. The growing resentment in the village against Ulriq’s father was becoming apparent, even to the boy, and he feared what he didn’t understand.
Soon, the sound came of their parents calling for them and they bowed their heads to hide the tears gathering in their eyes. Gently, Iliana reached out a dirty hand to trace the tear rolling down Ulriq’s cheek. Angrily, he pushed it away and turned his face from her.
“Don’t worry, Ulriq,” Iliana spoke from behind him. “Someday, we’ll grow up and get married and we won’t ever have to be apart. That I can promise you.”
Ulriq seized those words from the air and gathered them into his heart. He would cling to them like a lifeline in the coming days while she was far away in a distant land. The two of them were too young to realize all that stood between them and a promise. It was unheard of for a Russian princess to marry a commoner, even if he was the leader’s only son. A world of difference was an obstacle even beyond the reach of their love.
