Chapter 22: The Elders Fall

Sabine's POV

I came to the Circle of Stone at noon with four thousand wolves at my back.

They filled the road for a mile.

Silverfang came in its black coats, and Blackmoor in grey, and the packs of the Eastern side behind them, who had heard the howl and driven all night.

At the head of the road the Iron Fang walked beside me in a straight line, eleven strong.

Verena walked among them, with her jacket buttoned right, carrying the ledger.

The elders sat on their benches in the ring.

Hester Quill sat at the centre, and two wardens brought Mathis from the hall and stood him on the flagstones before her.

His eyes found mine across the ring.

I felt his hand close over my heart through the mark.

"Alpha Draycott stands charged," Hester began, "with coercing a pledged ward of this Council."

"The ward is here," I said.

I walked into the ring.

"I will answer for him, and then I will answer for you."

"You have no standing."

"I have the Silverfang pack. I have the Ardrey name. And I have the people you did not expect me to bring."

I raised my hand.

Two Blackmoor wolves led a bound man into the ring, and he was the Beta, in a torn shirt, with his head down.

Behind him came Garrow Lazenby in his cast.

"Tell them," I said.

The Beta lifted his head.

"I sold the funeral route to Kettlewell," he said. "He told me the Council had approved it. Quill's own man brought me the paper."
