Chapter 21: Twenty-Five Years
Jasper's POV
Judith Brennick stood in the middle of the ring with five packs looking at her, and she told it in a voice so small I had to lean in.
"Her father is dead," she said. "I loved him before I married you."
Stanton's face did not move.
She looked at the ground.
"I let you believe she was yours. Every day after, I watched you love her for it."
"Twenty-five years."
"Yes."
"I stood in front of the pack and gave her my name."
"Yes."
"You watched me do it."
"I did."
He made a sound I had never heard a man make.
It was low, and it came from somewhere deep in his chest, and then his knees went.
The Alpha of Brennick Ridge, fifty-five years old and broad in the shoulder, went down on the grass of the Council ring and put both fists against the ground.
Nobody laughed.
Nobody said a word.
Five packs watched a man find out what he had traded his daughter for.
"I gave her away," he said into the grass. "I gave her away for nothing. For a girl that wasn't even mine."
"Father," Faye said from the chain.
He did not lift his head.
"Don't call me that."
The eldest elder struck her cane on the stone, twice.
"The Council has heard enough," she said. "Faye Netherton, you have confessed in front of this ring to the killing of a Council clerk, to false testimony, and to the forging of Alpha blood. You are stripped of your office, and you are held for sentence tonight."
Two enforcers took Faye under the arms.
She did not struggle.
She stared across the grass at Judith as she was dragged away, and Judith did not look at her.
