Chapter 21: The Copper Ridge Vote
The packs opened in front of him.
He was bigger than I remembered from the shore, or maybe I'd forgotten.
His black coat was full of snow, and his eyes were gold, and he didn't look at anyone but me.
He came across the white stones at a walk.
Aksel, still on his back in the snow, made a small sound and didn't move.
The black wolf stepped over him.
He came to me and put his nose against my bleeding shoulder, very gently.
Then he leaned his whole weight into my legs, and I nearly went over.
Tilde was crying.
She was laughing too, and she kept saying a word I won't repeat.
I put my hand in the thick fur of his neck.
Under it, through the mark, I felt him.
No locked door now.
Just him, enormous and warm, like a fire in the next room.
The black wolf turned his head and looked across the ring at my father.
He showed his teeth.
My father took one step back, and then another, until he was standing behind the Copper Ridge elders.
Magnus shifted back in the snow at my feet.
