SILVERBORN: THE ALPHA'S REJECTED MATE Chapter Seventy - Nadia
They told me about Callum on the sixth day and they told me badly, which I have decided I prefer.Marcus Bell did it. He came through the door himself rather than sending the warrior on the rota, and he stood just inside it with his hands at his sides and said, "Callum Vane died on the eastern flank on the night of the moon. He went forward with a Draven boy when the line bent. I'm told it made a difference. I don't know if that helps.""Does it usually?""No," said Marcus. "But people keep saying it, so I said it."Then he stood there for a while, which I had not expected."He was on your door for eleven weeks," he said eventually. "He requested the rotation. Did you know that?""No.""He came to me in the first fortnight and asked to be put on it permanently, and I said no, because that is not how a rota works and because I was not certain of his reasons." Marcus's face did not change at all. "He said you'd told him about a girl in Sterling he was too nervous to write to, on a perim

My father offered me Sterling on the eleventh day, and I turned it down in my own kitchen over a cold cup of tea, and I have not regretted it for a single hour since.I want to record the offer accurately, because it was not a gesture and he did not make it easy."Not the succession," he said. "You know perfectly well the succession isn't mine to hand anybody, and Corrin has spent nine years earning it and would be a perfectly adequate Alpha. I'm offering you the archive.""You're offering me a records room.""I am offering you Sterling's entire information function, reorganised from nothing, with a seat in my briefings and a budget, and I would appoint you tomorrow." He put his cup down. "Isabel. In four months you have done the single most consequential piece of work anybody in this territory has done in a century, and you did it as a private individual with a folder, and I have spent a fortnight being told by my own Beta that if I do not give you an office somebody else will.""Bla
SILVERBORN: THE ALPHA'S REJECTED MATE Chapter Sixty-Eight - Selene
They tried her on the ninth day after the field, in the hall with the round table built without a head, and they did it properly, which surprised a great many people and did not surprise me at all.Reyes insisted on it. That is the part nobody expected. The Alpha of Draven, who had lost thirty-one over sixty-one years to the names in that ledger and six more on a Tuesday night, stood up at the opening of the session and said that if this Council intended to execute an eighty-two-year-old woman it would do so having first given her a hearing of record, with an advocate, in front of witnesses, and that any pack unwilling to sit through that could leave the hall and he would remember which.Nobody left."My people want her dead within the hour," he said, sitting back down. "I am aware of what my people want. My people have wanted things before." He looked around the table. "We have just discovered that this entire territory has spent a hundred and twenty-nine years doing exactly what was

My mother came to Blackthorn on the fourth day after the field, and I let her in, and the whole of the argument I had spent four months rehearsing lasted about eleven seconds."You should not be here," I said."No," said Luna Voss. "Almost certainly not. Where would you like to do this?"That was all. No defence, no preamble, no carriage. She had come in a plain coat with a bag over her shoulder and she stood in the yard of a pack that was not hers and asked me where I would like to do it, and I discovered that I had built an entire speech for a woman who no longer existed.We did it in the east field, which is the largest open ground Blackthorn has and which Damien had cleared of every living soul for a mile in four directions after Leo made him.Because Leo was against it. I want that recorded properly, since a great deal of what happened afterward has been laid at his door by people who were not in the room."Two of the line in one place," he had said, the night before, in the flat
SILVERBORN: THE ALPHA'S REJECTED MATE Chapter Sixty-Six - Council
They counted the dead at first light, because that is the only thing anybody has ever been able to do at first light, and the number was fourteen.Four from Sterling. Six from Draven, who had taken the eastern flank. Three from Blackthorn. One from Ashwood, a woman of thirty-one named Idris Hale who had been standing on the western arc and who had gone forward, alone and without instruction, when the line there began to bend, and who had held the bend long enough for it not to become a break.Nobody who was on that field has been able to explain why the number was not considerably higher.They had counted thirty-one of the grey line coming out of the treeline in the first minute. By the time the last of them went back into it there were eleven, and the eleven did not run; they withdrew in the same unhurried formation they had arrived in, stepping over the wounded on the way out exactly as they had on the way in, and the man at the centre of them walked out last and did not look back a
SILVERBORN: THE ALPHA'S REJECTED MATE Chapter Sixty-Five - Council
Nobody convened it.That is the first thing that has to be said about the night of the full moon, and it is the thing every account written since has got wrong, because every account has been written by people who need there to have been a decision. There was no session. There was no summons. No Council vote was taken, then or since. Not one of the four Alphas of the Northern Territory sent a single letter to any of the others in the twenty-one days between Draven's withdrawal and that night.What happened instead was that Blackthorn announced, publicly and without conditions, that it would be on the treaty grounds at dusk on the twenty-first day, in full strength, and that any pack that wished to be there would find the ground open.It should be understood how irregular that was. The treaty grounds are used once a year. For a hundred and six years no pack has set foot on them outside the Unity Ceremony without the consent of the other three, and the convention has held so completely
