Chapter 23: A Second Oath
"Why did you let me carry that story alone for twenty years?" I said.
Rita did not look away.
"Orson told me he would put you out of the pack if I spoke."
"You could have told me after I grew up."
"I should have."
The rain had stopped over the switching shed.
Valerio waited by the car while the tribunal guards took Damon away.
I stood with Rita beside the tracks until my wolf stopped pressing against my bones.
"What did you see?" I asked.
"Your mother refused the oath. Orson held her hand against the office desk. I reached her after he'd used the blade."
"Was Damon there?"
"He watched from the doorway."
I thought of the easy way he had taken my hand at the altar.
I pulled the blue scarf tighter around Rita's shoulders.
