CHAPTER 41 — Tywin SpeaksI stood at the gate before the sun was fully up, waiting for Tywin to return.I had been standing there for nearly an hour but I did not care. Three days felt like three weeks and every time I walked past his empty post, every time I looked for him in the dining hall and did not see him, every time I remembered that he was out there alone because of me, my chest tightened a little more.The gate creaked open and a group of guards trudged through, their shoulders heavy, their boots caked with mud. And at the back of the group, limping slightly, his face pale and streaked with dirt, was Tywin.I walked toward him before I could stop myself.He looked up when he saw me, and for a moment he almost smiled. But the smile did not reach his eyes. He was too tired for that."Solyn," he said. His voice was hoarse and rough."Tywin." I stopped in front of him and looked at his face, at the bruise forming on his jaw, at the cut on his hand that had not been bandaged. "Yo

CHAPTER 42 — The NotebookI laid on my bed with the notebook open on my lap, the pen moving across the page faster than my thoughts could keep up. The words came out in a rush, messy and uneven, the way they always did when I stopped pretending and just let myself write.I am tired of being her. I am tired of smiling wearing her clothes like a costume that is starting to fit too well. I do not know where she ends and I begin anymore.I paused, reading back what I had written. My handwriting was sharp, almost angry, the letters pressing hard into the page.I was never the problem. I was never the jealous one. I was never the liar. They made me into something I was not and I let them because fighting back never worked. But I was never the problem.I wrote it again as if writing it once was not enough to make it true.I was never the problem.A third time.I was never the problem.I set the pen down and stared at the page. The words stared back at me, dark and certain, the kind of certai

CHAPTER 43 — AlmostI could not sleep, I tossed and turned in bed, staring at the ceiling until the patterns on the stone started to blur. My throat felt dry and my jug was empty, the sheets cold on the side where no one slept. I groaned and threw the blanket off, grabbed the empty glass from my nightstand, and padded barefoot to the kitchen.The house was silent at two in the morning. I walked without thinking, my feet knowing the way, and my mind too tired to form complete thoughts.The kitchen was dark when I pushed the door open. I did not bother with the lights. I found the jug of water by memory, filled my glass, and drank until my throat stopped burning.Then I sat down at the small table near the window and stared out at the dark courtyard.I did not know how long I sat there. I was just sitting, my hands wrapped around the empty glass, my head too full of thoughts I could not sort through.The door creaked and I turned.Damos stood in the doorway, his hand still on the handle

CHAPTER 44 — Her WolfI was sitting through another endless council session when I felt sudden heat behind my eyes.A warmth that spread from the back of my skull to my eyes, slow and creeping, like blood returning to a limb that had fallen asleep. I blinked, but the warmth did not fade. My hands curled into fists under the table.Elder Maris was speaking about border allocations, his voice droning on the way it always did, but I was not listening anymore. I could feel something pressing against the inside of my eyes, a pressure that made me want to squeeze them shut and rub them with the heels of my hands.I looked up.Nathaniel was staring at me from across the table.His eyes were fixed on my face, sharp and unblinking, the way he looked at something he had been waiting to see for a long time. He did not blink, he did not look away. He just watched.The heat behind my eyes grew warmer.I reached up and pulled the pin from my hair, pretending to adjust it, pretending to be casual. I
