Chapter 24: The Apothecary

I didn't stop walking.

I didn't let my eyes stay on it.

The oldest Alpha was two steps behind me, and he watched everything.

I didn't say a word until the door of the King's chambers was shut behind us.

Then I said it.

"The vial's from the Crowther shop."

Auden turned around so fast he knocked a vase off the table.

"You saw it?"

"The mark's on the glass. The mortar and the moon."

"Then we take it to the Council. Right now."

"And say what? That a shop in town sold a vial?"

I sat down on the end of the bed.

"Half the lake buys from that shop. The oldest Alpha stood for its license. He'll say I bought it there myself."

"So what do we do?"

"We go and ask the woman who sold it."

The left twin was leaning on the doorframe, eating an apple. Auden had put him on me at breakfast.

"I'm her minder," he said. "It's very official. Where she goes, I go."

"Then you're coming to town."

My father drove us.

He just came up the west stair in his tweed jacket, with the car keys already in his hand.
