Chapter 20: The Tack Room
The pack came over the hay bales.
Three of them had Cleve by the arms before he could get off his knees.
Somebody kicked him.
A woman I'd known my whole life screamed at him that he'd killed her Alpha.
"Hold," I tried to say, and it came out of a wolf's mouth as a growl.
I breathed up and came back into my skin on the clay, shaking and naked, with my arm burning to the bone.
Myra was there with my clothes before I'd finished. She threw her pit shirt around me and wrapped my arm in her bandanna.
The blood came through it at once. Silver wounds don't close.
"Hold!" I said, and this time it was the voice.
Every wolf in the infield froze.
The ones holding Cleve didn't let go, but they stopped dragging him.
He knelt in the clay between them with his mouth bleeding and his eyes on his father.
Lon stood over the silver caps in the dirt.
He was crying, real tears, shining in the lantern light.
"I raised him," he said to the whole ring. "God help me, I raised him. I gave him everything. And he's been carrying the same silver that tore my brother's throat out."
