Chapter 20: Heir

Every head in the hall turned.

Freya stood frozen at the edge of the circle, one hand still reaching past Espen's arm for the doors.

"She's lying," she said.

Her voice was high and thin.

"She knocked the cup out of his hand. Everybody saw. She was standing right there. She could've put anything on it."

"I didn't touch the cup," I said. "I touched his wrist."

"You're a liar! You've wanted me gone since the day you came here!"

She whirled to the Alphas on the step, to the elder, to the crowd.

"I've done everything she asked, and now she wants me gone so her pups can have Kingsfall!"

"Pups," said one of the young Kingsfall wolves in the crowd, doubtfully. "I thought she was barren."

Somebody shushed him.

Solveig came down off the step.

She walked across the hall in her good cardigan, with my moonstone still closed in one hand, and the crowd split for her.

She stopped in front of her granddaughter.

Freya was a head taller than her.

"Give me your arm," Solveig said.

"Grandma..."

"Your arm, child."

Freya didn't move.

Solveig took her by the wrist anyway, with a grip, and turned it over, and shook the loose blue sleeve.
