Chapter 112

~Takoda~Not a single wolf in the chamber moved.Analiese stood exactly one step beyond the historic Dawson line. The carved stone vine disappeared entirely beneath the heavy rubber toe of her boot. She hadn't noticed the transgression, her focus pinned entirely on the dais.I had noticed. So had every single Territory Alpha seated within the tiered benches of the Council Hall.The pressure of the silence shifted. It no longer belonged to the formal procedures of the Hearing; it belonged to the volatile suffocating weight of waiting. They were waiting for the response of the Crown. They were waiting for me.Inside my chest, my wolf pressed heavily against the steel restraints I had spent ten agonizing winters learning to master. It wasn't thrashing because she had publicly challenged my authority before forty sovereign rulers; it was coiling tightly because she had looked at my face the exact way she used to. She looked at me as if she still expected to find Takoda Blackwell. She expe

I didn't move a single muscle, anchoring my weight firmly to the raised stone dais. I remained exactly where the Crown required my boots to stand because I knew, with absolute, terrifying certainty, that if my feet took a single step after her, I would never stop walking.The massive cedar doors groaned open at the rear of the Council Hall, letting in a sudden rush of cold mountain air.

~Analiese~The massive cedar doors of the Council Hall groaned closed behind my back. The explosive, iron thud rolled through the subterranean passages of the mountain, sending a vibration rattling through the soles of my shoes before it completely dissolved into the granite walls.Nobody spoke.Rowan adjusted the leather strap of his rifle, maintaining his station directly parallel to my shoulder.
