Chapter 20: The Hex
I pinched his big toe hard.
Nothing.
I ran my thumbnail up the sole of his left foot. Last week that would have made him kick me off the bed.
His foot lay there.
"Your knee," I said. "Bend your knee."
His jaw clenched.
Nothing moved.
I pulled the quilt all the way off.
The left leg was still clean. Not one black line on it.
But it was cold. Cold all the way up to the hip.
The right leg was worse. The black threads were still there, and they looked darker. Thicker.
"This isn't the poison," I said. "The left one's clean. There's nothing in it to do this."
"Then what is it?"
"I don't know."
He lay back and stared at the ceiling.
"I can't feel him," he said quietly.
"Feel who?"
"My wolf. Since the blade, he's been pacing in there. Every night I can feel him pacing." He swallowed. "He's gone quiet, Rae."
I sat on the edge of the bed and made myself think.
Cold legs. A quiet wolf. Overnight.
