Chapter 75 — Ofiura's POV

"Don't answer it."

Tessa said it from the other end of my mother's sofa, with a throw pillow clutched to her chest like a shield and a look on her face I had only seen once before, the day she found out what the tuition had cost. On the coffee table between us, my phone buzzed against the wood, its screen lit with a single name.

*Nikolai.*

It was the seventh call that day. I watched it ring out, and then I turned it face-down, and the small silence that followed was s

    "State your full name for the record, please.""Ofiura Voss.""Louder.""*Ofiura Voss.*""No, no, no." Judith Marlowe lifted her glasses to her forehead with a weary hand. "You sound like a woman apologizing for a parking ticket. This is a *tribunal,* Miss Voss. Say it like you own the room.""I don't own the room.""Then say it like you're *renting* it at a very good price and intend to stay."Tessa, perched on a kitchen chair at the far end of my mother's table with a ladle in one hand as a gavel and a dish towel draped over her shoulders as judicial robes, made a noise like a cat being stepped on."That," she said, "was *brilliant.*""Thank you, Your Honor.""I'm not Your Honor. I'm Alpha Thornwood." She lowered her voice to a lofty rumble. "*Miss Voss. Is it not true that you have no pack, no seat, and no standing whatsoever?*""It is not true.""*Is it not true that you are an unmarried woman of dubious reputation?*""That's a leading question," I said."*Objection!*" Mrs. Alder,

    Chapter 79 — Damon's POV "Gold," I said happily. "Look at that. It's actually gold." The envelope lay in the center of the breakfast table on its own silver tray, cream and heavy, its flap stamped with a small, glittering foil seal that caught the morning light like a coin at the bottom of a fountain. Corinne had carried it in with both hands, as though it might go off. I had been waiting for it for three days, and I had told no fewer than eleven people, including the florist, the ice sculptor, and a deeply bored man at the Granville Club, precisely when it would arrive. "I'd thought you wanted it framed," said Patricia, from across the table. "I do. First I want to *read* it." I rubbed my hands. "Properly. Aloud. With ceremony." "To whom?" "To the three of you." I looked around the room. My mother sat at the head of the table in her morning gray, with her tea untouched and her spine like a ruler. Patricia sat opposite, with the baby in a high chair beside her, gumming a rusk. Co

    Chapter 78 — Damon's POV"A certificate," I said. "On parchment. With a gold seal."The laboratory technician looked at me over the rim of her spectacles with the expression of a woman who had been asked many unreasonable things in her career and was cataloguing mine among the more colorful. She was small and brisk and utterly unimpressed by the Blackthorn name, which I found, frankly, a little insulting."We provide a standard report, Mr. Blackthorn.""I don't want a standard report.""It's a printed document with a reference number and a signature.""It's a *page.*" I leaned across the counter. "I'm not buying a page. I'm commissioning a legal declaration of paternity, to be signed and witnessed, to be framed. It will be displayed at a formal ceremony before every Alpha in the district. I'd expect it to look, I don't know, *dignified.*""We can offer a notarized copy.""With a gold seal.""We have an embosser.""Is it gold?"She sighed, very slightly, and reached beneath the counte

    Chapter 77 — Ofiura's POV"Young man, are you the one who's been *standing* outside that poor girl's door?"The voice rang down the third-floor corridor of Larkspur Court like a struck bell, rich and carrying and absolutely unmistakable, and the man in the gray uniform behind me stopped so abruptly that his portfolio slid out from under his arm.I stopped, too. It was Thursday, a little before noon. I had come to my mother's building for the first time in four days, because Thursday was pie day, and because I had decided somewhere around three that morning, lying awake on my narrow bed with the warden's shoes creaking in the stairwell, that I would not let a man with a clipboard cancel one of the few good things in my life.Warden Crane had come with me, of course. He had followed me down the three flights of my own building, and into the back of Maren's car, and up two flights of Larkspur Court's stairs, with the strict, gliding, pitiless courtesy of a man in a very good suit follow

    Chapter 76 — Nikolai's POV"You shouldn't read it.""Give it to me.""Nikolai." Dante held the single sheet of Council letterhead against his chest, as though he could shield me from it with his body. It was past midnight, three days after the corridor, and we stood in the dark of my study with only the desk lamp burning. "Let me tell you the contents. You don't need the page.""I do need the page.""It won't help.""It isn't meant to help." I held out my hand. "It's meant to be true."He gave it to me.It was a warden's daily log, the first of seven I would receive that week, copied to the ruling Alpha under Section Five. The typeface was neat. The tone was clinical and courteous. *Subject resides at third floor, Wren Street, apartment 3C. Subject refused cooperation at 09:04 and reiterated refusal at 13:30. Subject received visitors: mother, sister, legal counsel. Subject left the building once, at 16:15, in the company of a private guard, and did not inform the warden. Noted.*I r

I watched it ring out, and then I turned it face-down, and the small silence that followed was so heavy that my mother, standing in the kitchen doorway with a dish towel in her hands, set down the cup she'd been drying."You don't have to decide anything tonight," she said gently."I know.""You've barely eaten.""I know that, too." I pressed my hands against my eyes. "I'm sorry. I'm being a terrible guest.""You're being a daughter." She crossed the room and sat beside me, and I leaned into her without thinking, the way I had at six years old, with a scraped knee and a lie I had not yet c
