Chapter 17: The Dowager's Hand
Lucan stopped three feet from his mother's chair.
He did not touch her.
He stood over her with his hands open, and the whole hall waited to see what a wolfless Alpha would do.
"Who gave her the recipe?" he said.
"Sit down, Lucan," Ilse said again. "You are frightening people."
"Who gave it to her?"
Delphine was still screaming in the doorway, pinned between two hunters.
One of them shifted his grip, and something fell out of the cuff of her grey sleeve.
A square of paper, folded small, soft with handling.
The old herbalist picked it up with two fingers.
She unfolded it under the lamp and read it with her lips moving.
"Ten weeks," she said. "A pinch each morning, in the chamomile, never in the honey. The Luna must not taste it twice."
She turned the page toward the elders.
"I have known this hand for forty years," she said. "It signed every hearth ledger this pack keeps."
