Chapter 24: Black Pine

The Black Pine hall smelled of cedar smoke and old wood.

I walked in at noon with Rhys at my side and the packs parting on both sides of the floor.

The high chair at the head of the hall was empty.

The grey-cropped elder stood beside it with the folded white cloth over her arm.

"Willa Ransome," she said. "Daughter of Lorna, of the white line, born to the seat."

"I'm here."

She unfolded the cloth.

It was a white cape, old and soft, with a border of black pine boughs stitched along the hem.

"It was your grandmother's," she said. "It has waited for thirty years."

I bent my head, and she settled it on my shoulders.

It weighed almost nothing.

"Do you take the seat?"

"I take it," I said. "On three conditions."

A murmur ran through the hall.

"First, no white wolf is ever again called feral by this council. Every one is raised, taught and fed, as the old law says. The elders will say it aloud now."

The elders said it, one by one.

"Second, every pack member who was hurt for Conrad's convenience gets a hearing, and the pack building fund pays what it owes."

"Agreed," the grey-cropped elder said.
