KILLIAN’S POV

Clarke waited until I was alone in my office, which took him three days to arrange. I’d been avoiding it. He knew.

“The Council wants you,” he said. He laid the folder on the desk and squared it with his thumb. “Not wants. Requires. Eleven Alphas, a neutral hall in Pinewood territory, and a vote on whether what Clarissa made counts as a weapon.”

“I read the letter.”

“Then you know they aren’t asking about her. They’re asking about us.” He kept his voice even, which was how I knew

    LILLIANA’S POVWe got married on the hill behind the pack house, in the first week of June, under the big oak that Killian had once told me was older than the pack.I’d said I wanted it small. That lasted about two days. By the end of the week, the dining hall had a list on the wall with three hundred names on it, and the kitchens had started a rumor that there’d be four kinds of cake. There were five. Camille had seen to it.“You’re not nervous,” Sarah said. She was kneeling on the floor of the hostel room with a mouthful of pins, taking up the hem of my dress. “You’ve never been nervous about anything. You fought a thing twice your size.”“It’s not the same.”“Why not?”“The big wolf wasn’t going to read vows in front of everybody I know.”“Fair.” She spat out a pin. “Hold still. I swear, if I stab you, Grace will make me write it down.”The dress was plain ivory, with long sleeves over the scar on my shoulder. I looked at myself in the mirror. A girl with her hair in a loose braid.

    KILLIAN’S POVI’d planned for everything except the hairpin.The treaty hall at Blood Fang was a long room with a stone floor and a table made from a single oak that had fallen in a storm before I was born. We set four chairs on one side and two on the other. Clarke had been up since four, checking the pens and the water glasses. Rhea’s people stood along the walls in dress gray, and Marcus kept the door. The windows threw long bright panels across the floor.The Alphas arrived in order. Dorn of Red Moon came first, a short, stubborn man who nodded at me like a man conceding a game of cards. Voss of Crescent Moon followed with two quiet advisors. Hale of Silver Sea came last, a tall woman with iron-colored hair who had lost her beta on the east field and had not forgotten it.Richard Brookes came in at noon.He had aged ten years since the autumn. The hair that had been dark was gray all through. He walked slowly, without the swagger I remembered, and he carried no weapon at all. Behi

    LILLIANA’S POVThe worst part of being a wolf in front of someone you like is that you have to shift back eventually.I stood on the east field with every eye on me, one very large paw on top of my own other paw, and thought about how I might spend the rest of my life as a dog. Then a blanket hit me in the face. Camille had thrown it from twenty feet away without turning her head. I wrapped it around myself behind the cart frame, with my face burning, and by the time I came out, Killian was no longer at the treeline. Clarke had met him on the road. The two of them had gone up toward the administrative wing with their heads together, and every wolf on the field was suddenly very interested in their own feet.“He’ll come,” Sarah said, gently.“I know.”“He didn’t stop to talk. Not because he didn’t want to.”“I know, Sarah.”“I’m only saying.”“I know you are.”I went back to the hostel and washed, and put on clean clothes, and read the notebook a fifth time. At six, I moved food around

    LILLIANA’S POVRhea picked the east field on purpose.She didn’t say so, and I didn’t ask. The grass had grown back green over the place where the cart burned, and somebody had filled in the worst of the holes. You could almost believe nothing had happened there. But when I stepped onto it at six on a cool April morning, in shorts and a wrap, with the dew soaking through my boots, my wolf went stiff along my spine, and I knew that Rhea had known she would.“Weeks of drills,” Rhea said. She stood in the middle of the field with her arms crossed in the early light. “Your legs work. Your lungs work. Your shoulder holds. Today we find out if you do.”Behind her, three people waited in a row. Camille was bouncing on her toes. Sarah was tying her hair back, calm and neat. Jordan was yawning with great dignity.“Three on one,” Rhea said. “Wolf form. Nobody’s trying to hurt anyone, but nobody’s pulling punches either. Win is simple. Pin Camille. She’s the smallest and the fastest, and she’ll

    LILLIANA’S POVNobody tells you that waking up is the easy part.I could talk by the end of the first day. By the third, I could sit up without somebody holding the back of my head. By the end of the first week, Odessa let me put my feet on the floor, and I stood next to the bed with both hands on the rail, trembling like a newborn deer, and Camille stood in the doorway with her arms crossed and said, “Wow. Four months of rest and look at you.”“You’re not helping.”“I’m cheering. This is my cheering voice.”“It sounds like an insult.”“It’s both.” She came over and slid an arm under mine. “Come on. Corridor. Ten steps, and then I’ll let you sit down and feel sorry for yourself.”It took twenty minutes. I swore the whole way, which Camille said was how she knew I was getting better. My legs felt like they’d been borrowed from someone smaller. At step seven the room tilted, and I stopped with my forehead against the wall and my heart going like a drum, and my wolf said, kindly, You’re

    LILLIANA’S POVThe first thing I felt was my wolf, stretching.It was a lazy, satisfied stretch, like a cat getting off a windowsill after a very long nap. There, she said, in the middle of my chest. Told you.The second thing was a voice reading aloud, slow and flat, with the wrong emphasis on every other word.“’And the horse looked at the man, and the man looked at the horse, and neither of them thought it was a good idea.’ Which, honestly, is the most sensible thing anyone has said in this whole book.”I knew that voice. I tried to open my eyes, and the lids were the heaviest thing I had ever lifted. There was light on the other side, thin and gold, coming from a slit in a blind. I blinked at it for what felt like several minutes. The ceiling swam into focus. White tiles. A water stain shaped a little like Texas.My mouth was so dry that my tongue felt like a piece of leather. I tried to swallow, and couldn’t. I turned my head, and it took more effort than anything I’d ever done i

    KILLIAN’S POVAnother day, another fucking country. I was beginning to get tired of all this travelling I was doing. I missed my pack, plus there was also the fact that I was starting to feel uneasy. Trouble was brewing back there and it disturbed me that I didn't know what it was and that I was no

    LILLIANA'S POVMy mouth was open in shock. That was a lot to process. My eyes darted to Camille; she almost died, and I almost didn't meet her. Such a thought was insane to comprehend. OK, now that's just crazy.” I said, “Did no one do anything to her? Like at all?” “Well, Sarah did try to report

    I could tell from the looks on their faces- disbelief on the twins’, anger on Adrian’s, that they were not expecting me to have finished cleaning up. They must have wanted to get me into trouble again.Everyone gathered at the dinner table, eating happily, did these people really never once conside

    The next day came and I delayed returning to the pack house till noon. On my way, I heard people discussing something about the Blood Fang pack.
