Chapter 21

Elara’s povI watch something in him brace, then falter, uncertain, and I let the silence stretch before I finish."Damon Kade, you're stripped of all title, all land, all claim to the Obsidian pack or any pack under this crown's protection. You're exiled from every territory allied with the northern throne, effective immediately. You will build nothing here again. You will belong nowhere your name still means something."His face goes white, whiter than when the guards found him."Elara." My name comes out broken. "Please, just let me explain, let me make this right somehow, I'll do anything—""You had five years to make it right." I keep my voice level, steady, the same stillness Lucien drilled into me over weeks of dawn runs and split knuckles. "You chose a stone for your son instead of your daughter. You chose silk that belonged to someone else instead of me. You chose your own name over every consequence that came with it, right up until it cost my father his blood on his own bir

I wake the morning of the ceremony to sunlight pouring through the windows and Wren already bouncing on the edge of my bed, practically vibrating with excitement she's been saving up for weeks."You have to get up.

The coronation falls on the first clear morning of spring, and I wake before dawn the way I used to when Damon's household still ran on my schedule alone, except this time nobody needs me to be awake yet. I lie there a while just breathing, Lucien's arm heavy across my waist, and let myself feel the strange calm of a day I've been building toward without fully realizing it.Wren bursts in an hour later anyway, too excited to let either of us sleep in."It's today," she announces, as if we could have possibly forgotten. "You're actually going to be Wolf King.""Wolf Queen, technically," Griffin corrects from the doorway, already dressed, "though I've told her a dozen times the title doesn't actually change.""It's tradition," my father says, appearing behind him, leaning less on his cane these days than he did months ago. "The North has only ever called its ruler Wolf King, regardless of who sits the throne. Elara can change that herself, once it's hers to change.""I like Wolf King fi
