Chapter 15: The Price

Winifred's first order was read off the hall porch at seven in the morning.

A gray coat with a paper stood under the notice board and read it out to the green.

The alpha house was closed to its former Alpha.

His meals were his own to find.

No wolf was to carry his word, take his orders, or share his roof.

And a rogue on pack land without the Alpha's protection was a stranger, to be taken to the line by sundown.

"That's me," I said.

I stood on the grass at the foot of the steps with Emmett on one side and Jarrett on the other.

"That's you," Jarrett said, and his voice went flat and dangerous.

"It's only until noon."

The ring was gone from his hand, and the pale stripe where it had been looked bare in the cold light.

He stood easily anyway, with nothing left to hide behind.

Winifred came out onto the porch with her cane and a single sheet of paper.

She wore her best cardigan, buttoned to the throat.

"Jarrett," she said, loud enough for the whole green. "I have a paper."
