Chapter 18: The Hearing

The Great Hall gallery was full by a quarter to ten.

Residents. Cadets in uniform. Half the hockey team. Nurses with their coffee.

Every one of them had read the account.

The gallery is a long stone balcony with old pack banners hanging off the rail.

The board sat at a table across one end, five chairs, the Royal Physician in the middle.

Cash sat in the front row in his Guard dress jacket, his arm along the back of his girlfriend's chair.

She wasn't smiling as hard as he was.

"Tenley," Cash said as I passed. "Brought the notebook? We'd love a reading."

His lieutenants laughed.

The Varros came in behind me.

All seven, in a line.

Hadrian in his captain's uniform. Titus in a tie that looked like it hurt him. Nero with his curls combed for once.

The twins in cadet dress. The cook in a clean white shirt. The quiet one with his sketchbook.

They filled the second row from end to end.

Behind them, the Commander sat down slowly with Mom on his arm.

He'd stopped the tonic five days ago. He was still gray, and his wolf hadn't come back.
