The Pack's Emissary
In killing her, Meguitte had prevented another coup.
But that was also a lie. Meguitte had killed her because she had wanted Bianca dead.
Wanting her dead, and seeing her corpse defiled by Leighton were two different things, however. Magic had always involved the use of the dead – bones, blood, hair, skin, and even organs all had magical use. But to take from someone you knew… That was crossing a line, wasn’t it?
Had Leighton known her, though? She asked herself. Or had he just seen a body and taken it? And did his use of that particular body, and the glance he had sent her way when explaining its presence to Sigrid, mean that he knew that Meguitte had killed her?
