The whole of Bloodpine's challenge grounds turned to Cole Shade, and I turned with them, and I did not know what he would do.
I want to be honest about that. I did not know.
Cole had been raised in the old law as deeply as any wolf on that field, and ruled Silvercrest by it, and thrown me away on a ceremony floor because a code told him a rejected mate was a weakness a strong Alpha shed.

Rejected by my Mate, Chosen by his Enemy The Tara-Lee-Isolde Bond
HaydeeI understood what Isolde had built the moment the fight began, and it was worse than a doubled strength.The co-Luna bond between her and Tara-Lee was not a true thing, not a bond of love like the one a child had sparked on my palm. It was a made thing, a marriage of pure ambition, sworn cold in a dark room by two women who did not even like each other.But it did not need love to work.It needed only to be a channel, and it was a very good channel.Through it, everything Tara-Lee had flowed into Isolde, and Tara-Lee had one thing no one else in the north had. She had Selene's blood, the old stolen measure she had palmed and hidden and hoarded, and the traces of Moonborn power still living in it.The bond let Isolde draw on it. It fed her.Every time she moved I saw the silver-wrong sheen of stolen Moonborn strength under her skin, my daughter's blood turned into a weapon and poured into an enemy's arm

HaydeeThe whole of Bloodpine's challenge grounds turned to Cole Shade, and I turned with them, and I did not know what he would do.I want to be honest about that. I did not know.Cole had been raised in the old law as deeply as any wolf on that field, and ruled Silvercrest by it, and thrown me away on a ceremony floor because a code told him a rejected mate was a weakness a strong Alpha shed.If any wolf had reason to affirm the tradition Isolde hid behind, it was him. That was why she chose him. She thought she had found the one witness who could not say no.Cole stepped forward onto the grounds."I am named witness, and I will answer as one. The High Luna asked whether Bloodpine tradition is as Isolde Roux has stated it."He looked around the silent field, at the elders, at his own Silvercrest wolves watching their Alpha with dawning alarm."It is. She has stated the law correctly. A woman may not
Rejected by my Mate, Chosen by his Enemy Isolde's Challenge
HaydeeBloodpine had a law for everything, and every law had been written by men who wanted to keep a thing they already held.I learned it the morning the challenge was called, on the cold challenge grounds at the heart of the split pack, while a herald read the terms of how a sister would try to take her brother's command. Isolde had thrown the challenge down herself, in open hall, by every right of blood she had.And now, when the day came to answer for it, Bloodpine law did the thing it had been built to do.It would not let her fight."A woman may not duel for Alpha command," the herald read, flat, as though the words were weather. "Save that she be first recognised as Luna-regent by the standing Alpha, which recognition has not been given. The challenger, being unrecognised, may not take the grounds in her own body. She must name a champion to stand for her, and the challenge is decided between the champion and the A

HaydeeHe begged me to leave. I opened the door instead.I want to be honest about what that was, because it was not bravery, or not only bravery.Every person in that corridor told me it was madness. Cole put his body between me and the door. Lucien said, coldly and correctly, that if Hunter marked me by force under that corruption it could kill me.They were right.And I drew the silver bolt anyway, and stepped into the cell, and shut the door behind me, and stood in a small silver room with the man I loved while a poison in his blood screamed at him to take me.I had never seen Hunter like that, and I pray I never will again.He was pressed into the far corner, as far from me as the walls allowed, and barely him.The poison had climbed all the way up. His eyes had gone gold and wrong, fixed on my throat, on the place a claim-mark goes, and his whole big frame shook with the effort of not crossing th
Rejected by my Mate, Chosen by his Enemy The Poisoned Choice
HaydeeLucien had the answer by morning, and I hated all of it.The black in our marks was Moonborn work, fed by Moonborn blood, and there was only one loose source of it in the whole north.Selene's.The old blood, drawn in the days when my daughter was still a weapon, the blood I thought had all been accounted for. Lucien traced the working to a single stolen vial, and I remembered, cold to my bones, the thing I had seen in a Bloodpine hall and told no one, Tara-Lee kneeling to Isolde with her hand curled secretly around something in her sleeve."They kept a measure of Selene's blood," Lucien said grimly. "And they have used it to poison the bond the child made. This is Tara-Lee's hand and Isolde's design, and it is not a random cruelty. It is an argument."Because that was the terrible cleverness of it, and Isolde was nothing if not clever.She could not beat me on the field yet. So she would beat me on th

HaydeeThe mark did not finish forming. That was the one mercy, and no one but Hunter and I understood it.To everyone else in that yard, and by nightfall to everyone in my court, the story was simple and done. The High Luna and the Alpha of Nightfall had a chosen-bond mark on their matching palms.She had chosen him.The question that had hung over the whole north for a season, which man the queen would take, had answered itself in silver on two hands, and half my court was relieved and half was furious and all of them thought it was finished.It was not finished. I could see the mark, and it was wrong. It sat on my palm bright but thin, unrooted, a seal pressed into wax that had not yet set, the outline of a bond with nothing filled in behind it.A chosen bond completes when two people reach for it together and mean it. This one had not completed. It had been started by a third pair of hands, a child's, and it hun
