Chapter 4: She Can't Leave Me

On the fourth day, my fever climbed to a hundred and three.

I lay with the seal tag under my pillow and read the two letters again.

B.K.

Bram had signed for the milk draw an hour before he walked in and called it one feed.

He had stood there and pretended to be surprised.

The healer needed a kin-sign on the fever-root tonic. She called Bram's link.

It rang. It rang again. It rang until it cut off.

Thirty minutes later, Pru's post lit up the pack-links.

Bram stood at the tall windows of the Alpha suite with Hugo asleep against his chest.

The caption read: First time putting my boy to sleep. All thumbs, but so sweet.

I stared at that picture until the edges ran together.

Beside me, Lark's sire line was still blank on her record. I had checked it twice.

That afternoon, Bram finally came.

He brought the pack lawyer, and the lawyer set a folder on my ledge while the room swam.

Page one was a silence oath.

Page two was a whelp-claim agreement.

Page three was a mate-severing draft.

Lark would carry my name and her father would stay unnamed. I was forbidden, under pack law, from ever disturbing the normal family life of Alpha Bram Kestrel, Prudence Wexley and Hugo.

Normal family life.

They had the roses, the suite and the naming feast. They were the family.

Lark and I were what had to disappear quietly, with no crying and no trace.

Bram slid a bank card across the sheets. "Ten million in gold-weight. A den in Silvermoor. I'll pay for her schooling."
