We put Barış in the root cellar under the kitchen.

It had a door that barred from the outside and no window and a stone floor, and the warriors brought him down and set him on a stool in the dark with a lamp on the floor beside him.

I went down alone.

He was sitting with his bound arm in his lap and his singed hair sticking up and his face black with smoke, and he looked up when the door opened and did not look surprised.

"You came yourself," he said.

"I came myself because you are my Beta and

  • The Wolf She Silenced   Chapter 150: The Cairn at Midnight

    The Council chair was taken at the next full moon and I sat in it and the coast was quiet for the first time in a hundred years.But that is not the end of the story.The end of the story is a cairn at midnight.We came back to the mountain after the Council and the pack was waiting on the north ridge with their lanterns and their fires and their howls. And I stood in the pass with Cemal beside me and the whole mountain around me and my boots were full of the coast road and my coat still smelled of the lighthouse.Barış came up to me first with his bound arm and his auburn hair loose."Luna," he said. "The pack wants to know if you are staying.""I am staying." I looked at the pass. "The Council sits four times a year and the rest of the year I am on this mountain.""And who holds the mountain when you are on the coast?""You do." I looked at him. "You are the Beta and you have been the Beta since the pass. And you walked to Çamlıca and brought back an army and you stood in the ring a

  • The Wolf She Silenced   Chapter 149: A Pack of Our Own

    The pack house was full by the end of the week.Not the old pack house with its one long room and its narrow stairs and its doors that did not shut. A new pack house. We built it in the pass with the stone from the old cairn and the timber the hunters cut and the clay the rogues dug out of the bank above the stream.It took nine days and it took every wolf on the mountain.And when it was done it was not a pack house. It was six houses around a fire, and each house had a door that shut and a window that opened and a hearth in the middle.I stood at the edge of the pass on the last day and looked at it."It is not a pack house," Cemal said beside me."It is not a pack house." I looked at the six houses and the fire. "It is a pack."He looked at me."You are going to be on the coast four times a year," he said."I am going to be on the coast four times a year." I looked at the houses. "And the rest of the year I am going to be here.""And who holds the mountain when you are on the coast

  • The Wolf She Silenced   Chapter 148: The Wolf Who Was Never Silent

    Tomas of the northern islands came up the north ridge at dawn with a white flag in his hand and a seal on his chest.He stopped in front of the cairn and looked at the pass.The pass was full. The long tables were still up and the fires were still burning and the whole mountain was around him."Luna of Kırkkaya," he said. "I am Tomas. I am the keeper of the lighthouse and I have been sent by the Council.""You are the Tomas who rode with us," I said."I am the Tomas who rode with you." He looked at the cairn. "And the Tomas who stood on the steps of the lighthouse was an impostor and the Council has found him in the tower and he is in irons on the coast."The pass stirred."Then the Council is whole," I said."The Council is whole." He looked at me. "And the Council has a question for the Luna.""Say it.""The Council of Alphas has sat on the coast for a hundred years and it has been sitting with a rogue in its highest chair." Tomas struck his staff on the stone. "The Council has judg

  • The Wolf She Silenced   Chapter 147: Maren Stands Beside Me

    The healer's rite was spoken on the north cairn at dusk with the whole pack around the stones.Maren's grave was on the ridge above the pines, marked with a flat stone and a sprig of yarrow, and the whole pack had carried her up there in the spring and put her in the ground with her basket beside her.I stood on the cairn with the founding book in my hands and the words of the rite in my mouth.They were old. They were older than the founding laws and older than the cairns. They said that a healer who paid a debt for the pack was a healer who stood beside the Luna forever, and that the Luna would speak her name on the cairn at every full moon until the Luna herself was carried up the ridge.I spoke them.And then I spoke her name."Maren," I said. "Healer of Kırkkaya. She kept the page for six years and the vial for six years and she lied to the elders and she lied to me. And when the silver harpoon came out of the dark at the edge of the pines she put herself between it and the Luna.

  • The Wolf She Silenced   Chapter 146: The Pack Breathes Again

    Selin came up the north ridge at dawn with her bag over her shoulder and her copper hair loose.She stopped in front of me at the foot of the cairn."I have thought about it," she said."And?""And I have been walking the coast road for a day and a night. And every time I stopped to rest I heard the cairns burning on the mountain." She looked at the ridge. "And I knew I was walking the wrong way."I looked at her for a long moment."Then welcome to Kırkkaya," I said.She nodded slowly."Where do I sleep?" she said."There is a room in the pack house at the end of the corridor." I looked at the ridge. "It is small and the window does not shut and the last wolf who slept in it was the Beta who sold the border. But it is a room."She looked at me."Then I will take it," she said.She went down the ridge with Deniz and did not look back.And then the work began.The smokehouse was rebuilt in eleven days.The hunters cut the timber and the rogues raised the frame and the pack filled the ga

  • The Wolf She Silenced   Chapter 145: Selin's Farewell

    Selin came down the steps of the lighthouse at dawn with her copper hair loose and a bag over her shoulder.I was standing at the foot of the steps with Cemal beside me and the whole coast still on the road."Envoy," I said."Not envoy." She stopped in front of me. "The Alpha of Çamlıca has withdrawn my title. He sent a rider up the coast road last night. He says the envoy of Çamlıca is the daughter of a traitor and the daughter of a traitor cannot speak for a pack."I looked at her."Your Alpha is a fool," I said."My Alpha is a frightened wolf who has been sitting in a chair for twenty years and does not want the Council to look at him." She looked at the road. "And I am not going back to Çamlıca.""Then where are you going?"She looked at the pines."I do not know," she said. "I have been the envoy of Çamlıca since I was six years old. I have been Fearchar's daughter since I was born. I have never been anything else." She looked at me. "And now I am not anything."I looked at her f
