Chapter 25: The Third Word
The old woman came at dusk, because Halvard sent the Beta to fetch her.
She stood in the cabin doorway, shaking snowmelt off her black shawl, and looked at the open book on the table.
"So you found it," she said.
"You knew."
"I was nine years old the spring my grandmother told me. I have carried it for seventy-one winters."
She sat down heavily in the chair by the stove.
The dog put her chin on the old woman's boot.
"The Luna's name has been lost," she said.
"Her husband was the Alpha of this pack, and he took a lover for love, not for a seat."
"He was ashamed, and he was no worse a man than most."
"That is what they all say," I said.
"Hush."
I hushed.
"She called the Rite on him at the first frost. The lake took his wolf. She lived, because the Warden of that year was quick."
The old woman looked at the stove door.
"At the Thaw she stood at the water in her black dress."
"Her husband knelt on the shore."
