Chapter 22: The Alpha's Study
"Put her down for what?" Judd said. "She was asleep in her own bed."
"For the attack on the heir." My mother's voice shook. "Her key in the armory. Her empty post that night. He's already saying she sold you."
"Ket's been in that cell a month."
"Then she has three weeks left," I said.
The Gathering was set for the November full moon.
Twenty-three days.
My mother stood up.
She looked at the receipt in my hand, and at me, and she didn't try to touch me.
"I have to get back before he wakes up," she said. "If he finds my bed empty, he'll know."
"Then go."
She went to the door.
She stopped with her hand on the knob.
"You need to go to Ozias," she said, without turning around. "Not the hall. Him. He's hard, Liesel, but he isn't stupid, and he loves his son more than his own life."
"He threw me off his mountain."
"He did," my mother said. "And he's had your cutters in his desk for a month, and he still hasn't let Wendell burn them."
