Chapter 15: A Look at Their Faces

The eldest scrolled down past the sick message to the line under it.

It was a text from Dane's phone to Brianna's mother, sent at 3:05.

"'It's done,'" the eldest read aloud. "'She won't be in the way now.'"

Nobody on the mountain made a sound.

Brianna stood with her thumb still half raised.

I watched her decide that smooth had stopped working.

"Fine," she said. "Yes. I wrote it."

The pack drew in one breath.

"I didn't know the oath mattered," Brianna said. "Not then. I only knew Dane had a place at that table, and she sat in the chair next to it. Somebody had to move her."

"Move her," the eldest repeated.

"Since March I've done her errands. I picked up her prescriptions and drove her to class, and I sat in her chair at the table because she kept leaving it empty." Brianna's voice rose. "She let me. Every time I said I'd get it, she said thank you. She handed me her whole life."

"I thanked you because you were being kind," I said.

"And I was kind to everyone. That's the point of me."

The miller held out his hand.

"The ring," he said.

"Vernon gave it to me."

"It's the Luna's ring, and you haven't earned it," the miller said. "Give it here."

For a moment I thought she would swallow it.

She pulled it off and dropped it into his palm, and her bare finger shook.

The eldest gave two wolves a nod.
