The Curse of the Beta Chapter 102: The Priest's Last Mass
They put Callum in the byre with a chain on the door and two men on it and the whole of the pack went up to the green because there was a ship at the harbour mouth and a thing on the deck of it and no time left to stand on a shingle arguing about a bottle.The priest asked to be taken to the chapel.Clara said no and Callum said no and the whole of the Council said no, and the priest said, "I have been the priest of this village for forty years and I have not said a mass since the schoolhouse burned. Let me say one. Let me say it in the chapel with the door open and the whole of the pack outside it and then I will go wherever the Council sends me."Clara looked at him for a long moment."Two men on the door," she said. "And the chain stays on your wrist."The priest went up to the chapel with two men and the chain on his wrist and the whole of the pack came up the hill behind him and stood in the yard and on the green and in the road, and the chapel door was open and the candles were
The Curse of the Beta Chapter 101: The Girl Who Won't Forget
The shingle went cold and the whole of the pack turned round and looked at the cliff.Callum was standing at the top of the shore with his good coat and his grey hair and the chain of office round his neck and two of his guards behind him.He came down the shingle slowly with his hands at his sides and his face doing nothing at all."The child is mistaken," he said.Clara stood up."The child has not been mistaken once since the spring," she said. "She saw a wolf in the schoolyard and drew a picture of it and the picture had a mark on its shoulder and the mark was the mark of the curse. She saw a man with a chain of keys and she told us and the man with the chain of keys was the Gamma. She dreamed of a wolf in a cage on a Council ship and the wolf in the cage was the Alpha's wolf. She has been right every time and she is right now."Callum stopped three paces off."I have been the speaker of the Council for eleven years," he said. "I have been on this cliff for two days. I have read t
The Curse of the Beta Chapter 100: The Rogue's Price
We came up out of the shaft with the whole of the pack behind us and the moon going down and the horn sounding over the water.I came up on four feet.It was the strangest thing in the world and the most ordinary. I had been a wolf before and I had been a man for the whole of the spring and the summer, and coming up that shaft on four feet with the whole of the pack behind me and Clara's hand on my shoulder was like coming home to a house I had forgotten I owned. The stone was under my claws and the salt was in my nose and the whole of the shore was sharp and clear.Rook was on the shelf with his coat off and his pale grey eyes on the water."Three ships," he said. "They came in on the tide and they have not sent a boat and they are sitting at the harbour mouth with their sails down. There is a thing on the deck of the first one that is not a man and it has been standing at the rail since midnight."Clara said, "Vaughan.""Vaughan." Rook looked at me and then at the stone wolf and the
The Curse of the Beta Chapter 99: The Bond That Healed Me
We went down to the shore.The boat was at the pier with a man in it in a dark coat and a paper in his hand, and the whole of the pack was on the shingle and the three Alphas were on the pier and Clara was at the head of the shore with the stone wolf beside her and Nina behind her.The man in the boat came up onto the pier."I am looking for the Alpha of Cragmoor," he said."I am the Alpha of Cragmoor," Clara said.The man looked at her and then at his paper and then at her again."The paper is made out to the Alpha of Cragmoor and it is a debt," he said. "It is forty years old and it has been owing since the year of the great storm and it is a debt on the pack and the island and the water round it. It was taken out by the old Alpha in the year before he died and it has been in the bank at Leith for forty years and it has come due this year and the bank has sent me to collect it.""Who holds the debt?""The paper does not say. The paper says the debt is owed to the bearer and the bear

I did not go after him straight away.I stood on the pier with the whole of the pack on the shore and the Council on the shingle and Thomas beside me, and I watched Marcus go up the hill with his two men behind him and his copper red hair loose and his shoulders bent."Elias," Clara said."Not yet.""Elias, he is not well.""He is not well and he has asked me for a promise and I have given it and I am going to go up that hill and talk to him before I do anything else." I looked at her. "Go to the schoolhouse that is not there anymore and get Nina and get the book and get the stone wolf and get the whole of it down to the cave under the island. The stone wolf has to be woken before noon and the fragment has to go into it and Nina has to make her choice. I will meet you at the shore before the tide turns."Clara looked at me."And Marcus?""I will bring him down."I went up the hill.The chapel was lit and the door was open and the two men were standing outside with their lanterns. They
The Curse of the Beta Chapter 97: The Smuggler's Deal
We went back to the shore in the boat with the whole of Vaughan's crew standing at the rail and not one of them lifting a hand.Thomas rowed. Nobody spoke. The harbour came up out of the dark and the whole of the pack was on the pier with lanterns and the three Alphas were on the shingle with their hands untied and their faces grey.We got onto the pier and Clara went up the shore and Thomas caught her arm."Not yet," he said.She turned round."The boat is at the stern of the ship," Thomas said. "I put it there myself this afternoon before the Council came up the cliff. It has a sail and a false name on it and a barrel of water and a bag of bread and a chart of the coast from here to Oban. I can have you on it in an hour and out past the point before the moon sets."Clara said, "I am not leaving.""I know you are not leaving." Thomas let go of her arm. "I am telling you the boat is there. That is all I am telling you. There is a boat at the stern of that ship with a sail and a false
