ELENA"I went looking for her," I whispered. "I came out. I didn't listen.""You're her daughter," Krystal said softly. "Of course you didn't listen.""What happened then? Where did you find me?""In the street," he said. "Near the village gate. You were lying on the ground. There was a knife in your side. I could smell the moonshade on it from ten steps away."The gate. Something about the gate made my head throb. A shape in the smoke. A face I couldn

Chapter 64ELENAHe was quiet for a long time. Then I heard his footsteps going down the hall. Slow. Heavy.The moment he was gone, the headache began to fade.I lay there in the dark with tears running into my hair and didn't understand anything."You're thinking about him," Lucien said.I blinked. We were back in the paddock. Clover had stopped walking. Lucien was looking up at me with his head tilted."Sorry," I said. "I was somewhere else.""With the alpha."I didn't answer.He helped me down from the saddle. His hands were steady on my waist, and when my feet touched the ground, he didn't let go right away. Then he did, and stepped back, and walked with me to the fence. We leaned on the top rail side by side and looked out at the pine forest and the gray mountain behind it."Can I tell you something?" Lucien said. "Not as the Council's envoy. Just as me."I nodded.

Chapter 63ELENA "Heels down," Lucien said. "Sit back. Let her move under you. Don't fight her."I was sitting on top of a tall brown mare in the paddock behind the stables, holding the reins so tight my knuckles were white. The horse was gentle. Her name was Clover. She was the oldest, slowest horse in the whole pack. But from up here, the ground looked very far away."I'm going to fall," I said."You're not going to fall." Lucien walked beside us with one hand resting on Clover's neck. "And if you do, I'll catch you."He said it like it was simple. Like there was no question about it at all.I let out a breath and loosened my grip on the reins, just a little. Clover kept walking in her slow, steady circle around the paddock. After a while, my shoulders came down from my ears. After a little longer, I stopped feeling like I was about to slide off."There," Lucien said, smiling up at me. "You see? You're a natu

Chapter 62KADEI stood there, breathing hard, blood running from my lip. Brand lay in the dirt, groaning, his face swollen."Take him to the cells," I said.Nobody moved."I said take him to the cells!"Pell and Tobias looked at each other. Then, slowly, they bent and hauled Brand up by his arms. He hung between them, spitting blood."This is wrong," someone said from the crowd.I turned around. It was Holt. The old warrior who had fought beside my father. His face was hard."This is wrong, Alpha," he said again. "Brand is loyal. He's always been loyal. He's a hothead and a fool, but he's no traitor. You have no proof.""I have enough.""You have a feeling." Holt shook his head. "Your father never threw a wolf in a cell on a feeling.""My father isn't here.""No," Holt said quietly. "He isn't."He turned and walked away. Three warriors followed him. Then five. Then more. Walking off toward the barracks with their backs to me, one after another.I stood in the middle of the yard and w

Chapter 61KADESilas came back down the ladder with Pell and two scouts behind him. He was talking before his boots hit the dirt."We'll start with the riverbank," he said. "If he went out this way, the mud should—"He stopped.I was still kneeling by the iron ring with the lamp in my hand. I didn't say anything. I just held the light close to the stone and moved aside so he could see.He bent down. He looked at the tiny scratched letters for a long time.NOT GARRETT.Pell let out a low whistle behind us. "Moon above. Did the omega do that?""Yes," I said.Silas didn't speak. His face was very still in the lamplight. He reached out and touched the letters with one finger, slowly, like he was reading them with his skin.Then he stood up and let out a long breath."Well," he said quietly. "That changes things.""It changes everything." I got up. My knees cracked. "Garrett didn't do this. Krystal is telling us. Garrett didn't do any of it.""Or," Silas said carefully, "Garrett didn't do

Chapter 60SILAS"She saw my face.""And then she bonded to the alpha," Morwen said, "and everything changed."She set her spoon down. She came and sat across the table from me, and she folded her long pale hands together."Do you know what happens," she said softly, "when a mate bond is torn?"I shook my head."The bond is made by the moon. It ties two souls together. Knots them, like rope." She lifted her hands and twisted her fingers together. "When the bond is torn, the knot is ripped apart. And for one moment, just one, the soul is open. Bare. Like a door with no lock." She pulled her fingers apart slowly. "Anyone standing close enough in that moment can reach inside and take it."The fire crackled in the stove. In the cage, I heard Krystal's chain clink as he shifted."Take it?" I said."Claim it. Bind it. Own it." Her eyes went black for a moment, then gray again. "The girl will drink her little mix under the blood moon. She'll say the old words. The bond will tear. And when it

Chapter 59SILASI left the pack house an hour before dawn.Nobody saw me go. Nobody ever does. I have been slipping in and out of that house since I was a boy, and in twenty-eight years, not one wolf has ever asked me where I was going.Why would they? I'm Silas. Good, loyal Silas. The beta who smiles at everyone. The brother who stands at the alpha's right hand.It's almost too easy.I rode west, then south, along the old road that nobody uses anymore. Past the edge of our territory. Past the last farms. Down into the low, wet country where the river spreads out and loses itself in the marshes.The Hollow Fen.The mist came up to meet me as soon as the ground went soft. Thick and white and cold, curling around my horse's legs. The trees out here were black and twisted, half drowned in dark water. Nothing sang. Nothing moved. The only sound was the slow suck and splash of hooves in the mud.My horse didn't like it. He n
