Yes, Nathan knows that he would be assigned this duty for any coven member that was attacked like Dagger was, but he still doesn't like it. Well at least if he has to protect Dagger he might as well go hunting too. They all would need to be well fed for the move. The big question is why does the council want with Dagger anyway? "It seems the mistress had found a new bed mate to please her." Nathan didn't sound jealous, he was just simply stating a fact as he walked along towards the woods. He wonders if Aleera actually has feelings for the sireling or if she had just bedded him in order to satisfy her own needs.
