Chapter 66 — Ofiura's POV"His name was Harold, and he never once raised his hand to me."Mrs. Alder said it with her cup in both hands, her voice still rough and astonished, as if she were testing a floorboard she hadn't trusted in years. We sat in her immaculate kitchen, my mother on one side of her, me on the other, and the rain had thinned to a soft gray patter against the window."He didn't have to," she went on. "He only had to say a thing once. 'You'll keep this house quiet, Margaret.' 'You'll never speak of what you hear.' 'You'll obey me in all things.' And I did. I couldn't *not.* It was like being a puppet with all the strings attached to my own bones."My mother's hand tightened on her shoulder. "How did he do it?""A binding. An old one, from his mother's family." Margaret's mouth trembled. "The night we were wed, he tied a cord around my wrists and spoke the words. I thought it was a ceremony. I thought it was *love.* By morning I couldn't lift my voice above a whisper

Chapter 65 — Ofiura's POV"She never comes out, you know."My mother said it in a low voice, setting a plate of shortbread on the tiny table beside her kitchen window. It was a gray Sunday afternoon, rain ticking against the glass, and I was curled in the armchair with a blanket over my knees and my feet propped on a stool, enjoying the particular luxury of being fussed over by a woman who had waited decades to do it."Who?""Mrs. Alder. Across the hall." She nodded toward the door. "Seventy-four, maybe. Sweet as honey. She leaves a plate of something outside my door every Thursday, and she never says more than three words to me. I've lived here two months. I don't think I've heard her voice above a whisper.""Maybe she's shy.""Maybe." My mother sat down opposite me, wiping her hands on a dishtowel. "But shy people don't flinch when a door slams. And shy people don't hold their wrists like that.""Like what?""Like this." She crossed her own forearms against her chest, tucking her h

Chapter 64 — Ofiura's POV"'Future Alpha King.'" Tessa held up a tiny white onesie between two fingers, as though it might be contagious. "Absolutely not. The baby is going to be a *person*.""It's a very popular design," said the saleswoman faintly."It's a very terrible design.""It has a little crown.""That's what makes it terrible."I pressed my knuckles against my mouth to hide my laughter. We were standing in the middle of Little Acorn, the most expensive baby boutique in the eastern district, under a ceiling hung with pastel clouds and a mobile of tiny felt foxes, and my sister had been in the shop for forty minutes and had already rejected eleven items on principle."Put it back," I said."Gladly." Tessa dropped the onesie onto the rack, where it landed in a heap of soft, innocuous yellow. "I'm only trying to protect my niece or nephew from the Blackthorns of the world. Nobody puts a crown on a baby unless they're trying to prove something.""That's an oddly specific grievanc

Chapter 63 — Patricia's POV"Twelve feet. I said twelve.""The ceiling is eleven, darling.""Then we raise the ceiling."I looked at my companion, who stood in the center of the Blackthorn ballroom with a tape measure in one hand and a look of tragic nobility on his face, and I considered, briefly and without malice, the many ways a person might be removed from a room without anyone noticing."We could lower the sculpture," I said instead."It's a *wolf*, Patricia. It's supposed to loom.""It can loom at ten feet.""Ten feet is a *dog*."The caterer, a patient man named Albrecht who had survived three weddings and a funeral in this house, studied the ceiling with the expression of someone calculating the exact cost of an ice sculpture that would melt onto the guests' heads. I smiled at him over Damon's shoulder, the small, conspiratorial smile of one professional to another, and he released a breath so

Chapter 62 — Ofiura's POV"Standing," said Judith Marlowe, "is the most elastic word in pack law."She was a small, wiry woman in her sixties with cropped white hair, rimless glasses, and a handshake that had nearly cracked my knuckles. Her office occupied the third floor of a narrow brick building on the east side of the city, up a flight of stairs that smelled of old paper and cigar smoke, and every surface in it was buried in files. I had chosen her out of forty names on a list my mother's lawyer had given me, for one reason. Not one of the forty had ever represented a Blackthorn, a Thornwood, or Alpha Nikolai."Elastic," I repeated."It stretches to fit whoever's holding it." She tapped a battered copy of the Guardian Charter, bristling with colored tabs. "The Council likes to pretend it means one thing. Membership in a recognized pack. But I've read every case where Provision Nine was invoked, and it's meant at least four different things ove

Chapter 61 — Ofiura's POV"You didn't wake me."Nikolai looked up from the kitchen island, a mug of coffee halfway to his mouth, and I watched him recognize the particular note in my voice. It was seven in the morning. I stood in the doorway of his enormous, immaculate kitchen wearing one of his shirts and a pair of thick wool socks, with my hair knotted on top of my head and the faint, queasy beginnings of a pregnant woman's relationship with breakfast."Dante came at half past midnight," I said. "I heard the front door. I heard you two talking downstairs for two hours. And you let me sleep.""You were exhausted.""I'd rather be woken.""I know." He set the mug down carefully. "I'm sorry. I thought you needed the rest more than the news.""That's exactly the kind of thing you're not allowed to decide for me." I crossed to the island and climbed onto a stool, because my feet already hurt, and folded my arms on the cool
