A clatter in the common room jolted me awake, and the beautiful dream dissipated like fog. I was suddenly alert from the noise. In the common room sounded careful, harried whispers. My wolf leaped to attention, and I sat up in bed, listening carefully. Then more whispers.

Someone was here.

My wolf would know if it was another pack member. These voices were unfamiliar.

Slowly, I climbed off the mattress and to my feet. My instincts prickled, and my wolf’s hackles raised —she was right at the surface. If I needed to, I’d shift, and handle the intruders in my wolf shape. When I had told Lonzo I wasn’t afraid to defend myself, I’d meant it.

I pulled the curtain aside just enough to peek through. Two young women were struggling with a heavy platter of breakfast, and one had spilled some of the tea on the rugs and was frantically wiping it up while the other set the table.

I exhaled. Maybe I was growing more paranoid than I realized. I straightened up, then stepped through the curtain. “Good morning, ladies,” I said.

The girls jumped, and then started to stammer through greetings and apologies, but I just smiled and waved them off. “Thank you. You’re dismissed.”

They scurried out of the room, like pups with their tails between their legs. I poured myself a mug of strong black tea from the pot. The sun was just beginning to appear beyond the horizon, turning the sky shades of pink and gold.

Kodan stepped out of the room, her bare feet quiet on the floor. Her red hair was loose to her shoulders, which I realized I’d never seen before. She greeted me with a nod. “Servants woke you?” she asked.

“I didn’t sleep well.” I poured Kodan a mug of tea and offered it. “What about you?”

To my shock, Kodan actually blushed. “Just fine.” She took a sip of tea and stared resolutely out of the windows at the sunrise. “What’s the plan for today? I spoke to Parlan earlier. He can show us to the training facility.”

“I need to speak to the King again, first,” I said. I grimaced down at my dirty clothes. “After I clean up.”

“What are you trying to gain from him?” Kodan asked. “What other information do you need?”

I glanced sidelong at her. “What can you get me?”

She grinned. “I’m not sure. But Kannis is quite good at uncovering information when need be.”

“I knew there was a reason you chose the escorts,” I said. “It’d be good to have our ears alert, I suppose.”

Kodan nodded in agreement. Then she sat down on the furs by the table and uncovered the breakfast spread. “Oh, thank the gods,” she muttered at the sight of braised meat alongside the vegetables and bread. “I was worried I was going to be expected to survive on celery stalks.”

I cleaned up and changed into a simple but elegant jacket and trouser set, then wound my hair into a fine plait. Elegant, but functional. When I returned to the room, the other girls were up, sharing breakfast with Kodan.
