Chapter 20: The Challenge
The ring was a circle of old stones on the ridge above the lodge, and it was white with frost at dawn.
Three packs stood around it in the cold.
I stood on the north side with Ronan at my shoulder and my hands pushed into my sleeves, as far from Cedric as the law allowed.
Stay back, Ashgrove's Alpha had said.
No hand on him.
He stood in the center in his jeans, barefoot on the frost.
He looked at me across the ring.
I nodded once.
He stripped off the rest and shifted in one long ripple, and a huge black wolf stood where the man had been, with gold eyes and steam rolling off his back.
Across the stones, Philippa's wolf came out of her like a blade out of a sheath.
She was pale and sleek, the color of cream, and half his size.
She was also fast.
She went for his legs before the keeper had finished lowering the flag.
He turned, too slow, and her teeth tore a strip out of his shoulder.
Blood hit the frost.
"Cedric," I said under my breath.
He swung his head and caught her in the flank with his own jaws, and she twisted out of them and was gone again, around the edge of the ring.
She was circling him.

She had fought for this seat in her head every night for a year.
She hit him again, and again, low and quick, each time leaving a red line.
The gold in his eyes began to dim.
I felt it before I saw it.
The pull in my chest, which had been full and hot all morning, thinned out to a thread.
Wyndham's Alpha muttered something to his second.
