Chapter Two — What the Silver Showed

The Mark at my neck was still burning when I got my door open, and every wolf in the Blood Moon Pack knows that is not how it goes.A severed Mate Bond leaves the Mark gray and numb before morning. Like an old scar finally deciding to stop arguing with you.Mine felt like somebody had held a coal to the junction of my neck and shoulder and then walked off and forgotten it there.I ran the tap until the water hurt and pressed a wet cloth to my throat. The burn drank the cold and gave nothing back.It isn't dead, Nyx said, restless somewhere behind my eyes. Stop washing it like a dish."It's shock," I told the empty kitchen. "Shock, and cold, and a long walk home."She didn't dignify that.The smoke alarm in the hallway had been chirping for a dead battery since Tuesday and I still hadn't dragged a chair over to reach it. Chirp. Nine seconds. Chirp.Then someone knocked, twice, soft."It's me," Wren said through the door. "Don't leave me out here smelling like everybody else's bad night.

Chapter Three — Two

"You're pregnant," Wren said.The floor of her workroom tipped four degrees to the left and stayed there. The Mark at my neck came up hot all at once, one long pulse under my collar, like something turning over in its sleep."Say it again.""Aria—""Please say it again.""You're pregnant." She set the paper strip down on the tray. "And before you ask, no, I'm not guessing, and yes, you should sit further back on that table."The room smelled the way her room always smells, antiseptic laid over dried yarrow. I sat on the end of the table with the paper crackling under me and did not move at all.I had bought the test myself, at the human pharmacy off the highway, two towns over where nobody knows my Scent. There was a coupon on the box flap for a different brand — two dollars off, expires in March — and I stood in that aisle and read the coupon four times because it was easier than reading the box.The strip's edge had bitten a white line into my fingertip on the walk over. I was still

Chapter Four — What Was in the Coffee Jar

Damien's POV"She walked to Hollis's alone at dusk again," Cole said. "That's three times since the Circle, Alpha. Ames has it logged."I had my hand flat on the desk over a drawer I have not opened in nine days, and I left it there."Anything else in the log?""Bellamy's mouth. He's been saying unclean in the common hall where the Elders can hear him, which means he wants them to.""And?""And there's a Silver Ridge wolf at the crossroads." Cole put the page down where I could reach it. "Three sightings in six days. He isn't hiding, he doesn't come near her cabin, and Ames says he sits on Hollis's porch rail and doesn't look at anything at all."There is red wax under my thumbnail that I have not been able to get out.It has been there since the eleventh. I stood on the center stone for eleven minutes with my fists closed and a broken seal in one of them, and the edge of it went through the skin at the base of my thumb, and I ended a woman's life in front of three hundred wolves while

Chapter Five — The Ninth

The Mark at my neck prickled before I saw anyone, the way skin knows a hand is coming. Somewhere behind me a boot turned on gravel, once, and then took great care not to do it again.Don't run, Nyx said. Count them.I counted. One at the culvert, checking a fence line that hasn't needed checking since spring. One in the trees above the switchback. One at the crossroads ahead, on a tailgate, arms crossed.Three ahead, one behind, Nyx said, almost pleased to have something to do. That's a net, Aria. Not a patrol.I stopped in the middle of the road."Delta Ames," I called. "Your fence is fine."He came out of the ditch grass slowly, the way you approach a horse. I'd have known his Scent with my eyes shut — wet wool and engine grease."Three weeks you've had two men on this road," I said. "Since Tuesday there are four.""Four," Ames agreed."So somebody moved the roster.""Somebody moved the roster.""Whose orders?""Whose do you think.""I'd like you to say it out loud."He looked down t

Chapter Six — The Third Button

"Come in."His voice came through two inches of oak and the Mark at my neck jumped like a struck nerve.Beta Cole opened the door for me and did not follow me through it. He wouldn't look at me either, which told me most of what I needed to know about how this had been described to him.The Alpha's office is the oldest room in the Pack House. Stone floor, no rug. The cold came up through my shoes inside of ten seconds.Damien stood at the far window with his back to me. His Scent reached me before he turned — wet pine and hot iron, the same as it has been since I was seventeen years old and had no idea what it meant.Breathe out slow, Nyx said. Say nothing about them. Not one word, Aria, not if he takes the room apart."Alpha.""Sit.""I'll stand."He turned around. Three weeks had not been kind to him, which I noted the way you note weather."Sit down, Aria."I sat. My hands went automatically to my cuff, where the button had come loose that morning, and I spent a stupid amount of the

Chapter Seven — An Hour Is a Grown Wolf

"You don't get to ask me that in this room."Damien's hand was still up between us. It did not come any closer and it did not go down."Cole."The door opened an inch behind me. "Alpha.""Go downstairs. Take the corridor with you."There was a pause of exactly the length it takes a Beta to decide he has heard correctly. Then the latch went, and the boards took his weight away down the passage, and we were alone in the oldest room in the Pack House with a torn page from a grocer's ledger between us."Aria.""Ask me a different one.""There isn't a different one.""Then we're going to be here a while."Careful, Nyx said. She was very low and very still, the way she goes when something has come near. He isn't angry. Look at his hands.She was right. That is what I could not make sense of. I have seen this man take a challenge in the north yard and be bored by it. He was standing four feet from me with the color gone out of his face."Say what you know," I said. "All of it. Then I'll decid

Chapter Eight — The House He Made Ready

They put me in a truck at four in the morning and drove me four miles up a track I did not know existed."You're not asking where we're going," Damien said."You'd have told me by now if you meant to."Nobody had slept. Cole drove. There were two more sets of headlights behind us and one in front, and the whole arrangement was the exact shape of a thing that has already gone wrong once.He's taking us somewhere, Nyx said. Count the turns.I counted the turns.The house sat in a clearing with the trees cut back forty feet on every side, which is not how anybody builds a house. It is how you build a place you intend to see people coming toward.Damien opened the door himself and stood back to let me go in first, and that was the first thing that was wrong.The second thing was that there was no key."Where's the lock?""On the inside," he said.I went in.One room and a back room. A stove laid with kindling and never lit. A lamp with the reservoir full to the neck. Shelves — proper shelv

Chapter Nine — The Road on Thursday

"There's a road out on Thursday," Kai Ashford said. "I'd take it, if I were you."He was leaning on the cinderblock wall beside the ice machine, out behind the pharmacy off the highway, two towns from anyone who knows my Scent. That was the part that got me first. Not the offer. The address.The Mark at my neck had gone faintly, steadily hot, the way it does near anything my body has decided is wrong. I put my back against the wall three feet from him, because standing in the open was worse."How long have you been following me out here?""Long enough to know you like this pharmacy. The girl at the register is nineteen and looks at her phone."He's too calm, Nyx said. Ask what he gets."A truck leaves the mill road at four on Thursday morning," he went on. "North through my territory to the coast, where a man I trust has a house nobody has needed for two years. You'd be over the county line before the Blood Moon Pack finished breakfast.""And the price.""There isn't one.""There's alw

Chapter Ten — Past the Snow Line

At twenty to two in the morning I looked down the road and the lantern at the culvert was dark.Ames does not go off at twenty to two. He sits with that lantern until six and he told me so himself once, complaining about it.He had put it out and gone home four hours early, and he had not sent word, and he had not knocked, because he is ordered to watch and log and not to touch.That was the whole warning. It was enough.Now, Nyx said. Back door. Don't run until the trees.I was out with the bag in ninety seconds.I left the kitchen light on — let them find a lit kitchen and two clean dishes in the rack — and I took the wool coat off the hook and left the blue one hanging where it was, because the blue one is bright and the wool one is not, and because I had thirty seconds and that was the shape my thinking had that night.The last thing I did in that house cost me nine of those seconds.I put my hand into the seam of the blue coat's pocket and got out the little dried head of the flow
