Chapter 17: Yield

The elder's stick came up across my chest before I had taken three steps.

"No wolf outside the ring may touch either," she said, but her voice was not hard.

"I won't touch him."

"Then what will you do?"

"What I was made for."

I dropped to my knees on the frost at the rope's edge.

I put both hands flat on the ground, an arm's length from the ring.

I had never tried it from a distance.

My mother taught me to take a fever out of a child by laying a palm on the forehead.

I held it there until the fever burned out through my own body.

The bond had no forehead to hold.

It had only the gold thread, and I took hold of that.

Torquil lay on his side in the ring with Maddock standing over him, panting, the russet wolf's muzzle red to the eyes.

Maddock's lips pulled back, and I knew what came next.

"Torquil," I said.

Not loudly.

I said it as I had said it in the clinic that first night.
