Chapter 22: Peyton Goelet
Peyton took the oath with her chin up.
She stood alone at the stone podium, and her lawyer had moved his chair a foot away from hers.
"Ms. Goelet," the chair said. "Did you apply the admin seal to the Quinlan match?"
"I protected a confidential record. That is my job."
"Did you pay a registry clerk eight thousand dollars?"
"I helped a woman with a sick son."
"Did you instruct her to call you when Cara Quinlan died?"
"I care about this pack's patients."
"And she called you at four fourteen, two minutes after Cara died?"
Peyton's mouth tightened.
"I am a very conscientious person," she said.
A laugh went through the galleries, short and disbelieving.
The chair let it pass.
"Did you open an account in the name of a Luna this pack does not have, and move four hundred thousand dollars through it to your mother?"
"The pack's money is safe."
"Answer the question."
"It was for the future," Peyton said. "For the line."
The hall went quiet.
"Explain," the chair said.
Peyton turned, and for the first time that day, she looked at Slade.
Her face was bare.
I had seen it once before, in the finance office, for one moment, with the stranger's flat eyes.
This time it stayed.
"I took that photograph in front of her and saw the word Haught on the letter," she said. "I saw the match line. I sat there, and I thought: a sister with an Alpha's blood. A donor with an Alpha's kidney. Surgery, and a recovery, and months of him at her bedside."
