I am down that corridor with a knife in my hand and no boots on, and my mate three paces behind me, and what is in the doorway of the room they gave Eira is not what I have braced for at any point in my life.
It is six men in crown grey, standing in the corridor with their hands where I can see them.
It is a litter, of the padded kind, with a folded blanket on it.
It is a healer, a woman of about fifty with a bag, who is holding a lamp for the

The Alpha's Rejected Luna and Her Secret Heir Chapter 103, Epilogue
Rowan · Two years on The dog is called Beetle, and she never did learn to sit. She is five now, and she is enormous, and she has one ear that goes up and one that does not, and when you say sit, she lies down, which my grandmother says is the dog making a point. I got her the spring I was six. Papa said she was a mistake inside four days and has fed her off his own plate every night since, in front of the whole hall, because in this house you cannot even be soft about a dog quietly. I am nine. I should say who I am, because my mother says an account is no good if the reader has to guess. I am Rowan Thorne. My father is the Alpha of Thornridge and my mother is the Luna, and neither of them is what anybody in the south expects, and I am the heir, which is written in the pack book on a page my grandmother was rude about the ink on, and which I have read, because it is kept on a table in the hall and not in a box. My hands are cold. They have been cold since I was four, and they

Aria"Nine of them," says Sigrun, on the fourth morning, with a list."Nine what?""Nine who want to go back to the ground they came off. They know there is nothing there. Ingrid would like to stand on it anyway.""Then they go, and they go with money and a wagon and somebody who can read.""That was my view. I wanted it to be yours as well, once, and then I am going to stop asking you." Sigrun makes a mark. "Forty-one want to stay together and never see a stranger again as long as they live. Sela is building it and has already had an argument with two masons and won. Sixty-odd want to be somewhere with people in it. Olveig wants a tavern.""Olveig should have a tavern.""Olveig should have a tavern a very long way from anything I am responsible for," says the Warden of the Silver, and puts the list away, and does not consult me about anything ever again, which is exactly what I asked for and took about a fortnight to

KaelThe great hall of the Citadel holds four hundred sitting and they put eight hundred in it, and there are another two thousand in the yard and the streets outside with the doors open so the sound can get out, and my mate walks the whole length of that floor and stops in front of the Council table with her hands empty and open at her sides, and I watch eight hundred people notice that she has brought nothing in with her.The Alpha King is standing. He does not sit down for the entire proceeding, and nobody asks him to."Warden of the Silver," says the Steward. "You have leave to be heard.""I am not going to be heard," Aria says.The whole hall goes quiet in a way I have never heard a room do."I have got an account of ninety years of the crown's business in my head, and everybody in this building knows it, and every single person who has spoken to me in the last two days has assumed that I came here to read it out,

AriaI do not go back to bed, and nobody expects me to.I sit on the floor of a stone gallery with my back against a pillar and my hands in my lap until the sky over the river goes the color of a fish, and Kael sits down four feet away and does not say one word for two hours, which is the single greatest act of love in this entire account.At about the sixth hour I get up and go and see Seraphina Silverpine.They have her in the west tower, in three rooms with a fire and a woman who sits with her, and it is not a cell, and it is not anything else either. She has been there since the autumn. She has a book she is not reading, a window she cannot open, and a wrist that healed crooked because I broke it in a wood.She stands up when I come in, and she does not say anything for a while, and neither do I, and we look at each other the way two women look at each other when one of them has taken a child out of a house."You a

KaelI am down that corridor with a knife in my hand and no boots on, and my mate three paces behind me, and what is in the doorway of the room they gave Eira is not what I have braced for at any point in my life.It is six men in crown grey, standing in the corridor with their hands where I can see them.It is a litter, of the padded kind, with a folded blanket on it.It is a healer, a woman of about fifty with a bag, who is holding a lamp for the man reading, and who looks at my knife and then at my bare feet and says, "Oh," in the voice of somebody who has just understood that she is in the wrong story.And it is a boy with a piece of paper.I have spent five weeks in an account full of nineteen-year-olds, and here is one more, standing in a corridor at two in the morning with a writ in his hand and his ears red, doing his job."Alpha Thorne," he says. He has a good voice, and he uses it. "I am to say that no one i

Aria"Then say it in front of them," I tell him. "All of it. Here, now, out loud, and let three hundred women decide what they think of it, because you have just spent ten minutes learning that saying things out loud is cheaper than not.""Yes," says Theron. "That is fair, and I am going to do exactly that, and then I am going to ask you for a quarter of an hour on your own, and you are going to want to give it to me, and you should think about why."So he stands on the tailboard of a wagon in a muddy field four miles from his own gate and gives it to us.It was the best offer any crown in this kingdom has ever made anybody.One. The north road provision is ended in law, not by a King's word but by an Act, entered, published, read out in every holding, with the whole of what it was written into the entry so that no schedule anywhere can ever quietly resume it.Two.
