All Chapters of The Wolf She Silenced: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

We left the pack house before the torches reached the wall.The pack went down the back path into the pines with the old women and the young ones and the wounded and the hunters in front with their lanterns turned low. Barış stayed with twelve warriors and a light in the window. Maren went with the pack and Nadia went with the pack and Selin went with the pack.And Cemal went with me.We came into the rogue camp in the deep valley before dawn. The pines were thick and the ground was dry and the camp was quiet and the rogues were waiting with their fires low and their dogs quiet.Sonia came out of the biggest tent with her grey hair loose."Luna," she said. "You brought the whole pack.""I brought the whole pack." I looked at the fires. "Fearchar is on the mountain. He has forty wolves and eight Alphas and he is coming up the north ridge with torches."Sonia looked at the pines."Then we put out the fires," she said.We put out the fires. The pack went into the tents and the rogues wen

I read the decree twice.The wolf who brought it stood at the edge of the pines with his seal on his chest and his hands folded, and he did not look like a wolf who expected to be thanked."Say it again," I said."The Council has found the Council lord Fearchar innocent of the charges brought against him." The envoy's voice was flat. "The Council has dissolved the borders of Kırkkaya and opened its lands to any wolf who claims it. The Council has suspended the Luna's title until she proves her bond before the Council at the full moon."The camp was silent."On what evidence?" I said."The Council heard the testimony of the Beta of Kırkkaya and the warden and the elder who held the lamp. The Council weighed the page from the great house and the page from the ledger." The envoy looked at me. "The Council found the pages to be copies and the testimony to be the words of wolves who had broken their own oaths."I stood in the camp with the decree in my hand."The Beta confessed," I said. "

Barış's twelve were gone before dawn and they took the last of the fish.I stood at the eastern tents with the cold coming off the pines and looked at the empty pallets and the ropes they had cut and the bowls they had left behind."Twelve," Deniz said behind me. "And six of the old women. And the boy with the dog.""Twenty wolves," I said."Twenty wolves and the last of the fish and half the bread." Deniz looked at the tents. "Luna. There are forty wolves left in this camp and most of them are too old or too young to walk to the coast road."I turned and walked back through the camp.The pack was at the fires and the fires were low and the bowls were empty. The warriors were on the edge of the camp with their spears and the hunters were at the pines with their lanterns and the rogues were at their tents with their dogs.And Barış was standing in the middle of the camp with his bound arm and his auburn hair loose, and there were six warriors behind him."Barış," I said."Luna." He did

They put her in the healer's tent on the pallet she had slept on for six years, and I sat beside her all night.The pack came and went. The old women came and touched her hand and went out again. The warriors came and stood in the flap of the tent and did not say anything. Barış came once with his bound arm and his auburn hair loose and stood in the corner for a long time and then went out.Cemal stayed.He sat on the crate by the wall with his black hair loose and his hands on his knees and did not say anything. He did not try to hold me. He did not try to tell me it would be all right. He sat on the crate and he stayed.And I sat beside Maren and put my hand on my chest and tried to find my wolf.She was not there.I had felt her every day for a month. She had been in the hollow place behind my ribs and then she had not been in a hollow place at all because there was no room for one. She had filled me. She had spoken to me in the dark and in the yard and on the ridge. She had told m

The wolf on the north ridge was Fearchar.I knew it before the hunters told me. I knew it from the lamp on the cairn and the silver harpoon and the way the tracks went up the ridge alone."He is waiting for you," Cemal said beside me. "He has been waiting since the moss."I stood at the northern edge of the pines with the whole pack behind me and the lamp on the cairn above us."Then let him wait," I said. "I have a Beta to catch."We went back down to the camp and I found Barış at the eastern edge of the pines with his horse saddled and his coat on and his bound arm in a sling."Barış," I said.He did not turn around."You read the letter," he said."I read the letter." I stopped behind him. "You are going to Çamlıca to offer the surrender of the pack.""I am going to Çamlıca to offer the surrender of the pack.""You are going to Çamlıca to offer a surrender I did not give you." I looked at his back. "I am the Luna. I do not surrender the pack. And if I did surrender the pack, I woul
