Chapter 39: The Answer She Withholds
Lirien's hand was still stretched toward Kael when he walked past it, close enough that his sleeve brushed her knuckles, and set the first page of the commission ledger on Eln's bench. He did not look at Sera. He had been told not to, and he was keeping to it.
Her fingers closed on nothing. She held them there a moment, then let the hand drop to her side. She had come to the bench with a page of her own, written in her careful hand, and she had not been asked for it.
'Alpha,' she said. 'Before the panel takes that, the pack deserves to hear what it means. A challenge filed against a candidate who has spent the night breaking into its archive is not a private quarrel. It is an attack on the pack itself.'
Eln did not look up from the ledger. 'You filed the challenge, girl. You do not get to argue it for the bench.'
'I am not arguing it. I am offering the Alpha his statement.' Lirien slid her page across the bench toward Kael. 'It is already written. He only has to read it.'
Sera sat in the witness place with her hands folded. She watched Lirien's fingers stay on the corner of the page a beat too long, the way a dealer keeps a thumb on the deck.
The amber halo around Lirien's head had not gone out since she entered the grove. Sera had stopped noticing it years ago in the first life, when it was the only thing that ever told her the truth. Now it moved with Lirien's breathing, and under her smooth voice came the second track, thinner and faster, running a half-step ahead of her mouth.
