The mountain wants me dead before I am halfway up it, and that is the only mercy I have been shown all night, because a man fighting the cold has no breath left over to spend on fear.
Cassian's directions are scored into me like brands. The goat track over the western ridge, the third cleft, the dead pine split by lightning, the chimney of fractured rock where the path gives out, and you stop walking and start climbing.
Nine winters he spent learning

AriaHe offers me my mother back over a meal I will not eat, and that is the moment I understand how truly dangerous he is, because for one whole breath, Goddess forgive me, I want to say yes.We sit across from one another in a chamber off the gallery of cages, the two of us alone, at a low table of black stone set with food I will not touch, dark bread and dried fruit and meat, and a brazier that throws a heat I can see but cannot feel. The Pale eats nothing. He folds his spare white hands on the stone and he watches me with that tired, gentle, unbearable face, and out beyond the door my mother stands in her niche of ice and hums her four notes over and over, around and around, the only living thing she has been able to do in twenty years of dark, and I would burn this whole mountain down to its roots to make it five.He knows that. Of course, he knows that. He has had three centuries to learn that the road into a creature

KaelThe mountain wants me dead before I am halfway up it, and that is the only mercy I have been shown all night, because a man fighting the cold has no breath left over to spend on fear.Cassian's directions are scored into me like brands. The goat track over the western ridge, the third cleft, the dead pine split by lightning, the chimney of fractured rock where the path gives out, and you stop walking and start climbing.Nine winters he spent learning this country alone under the King's seal, and he poured all of it into me in the bloody snow before he turned south with my screaming son, fast and low and exact, gripping the back of my neck so I would hold it. I have run it through my head so many times in the dark hours that it has stopped being words at all and become a thing my hands and feet simply do without me.I do not let myself think about Rowan. If I think about Rowan, about the weight of him reaching back over Cassian's shou

AriaThe first thing I learn inside the Frostfang is that he is not going to lock me up, and that is worse than any cage.There is no door barred behind me, no chain, no guard set at my back. The mist simply closes where the gates were, soft as a curtain drawn, and then I am standing in a hall carved out of the inside of a mountain, and the Pale is gone ahead of me into the dark like a man who has no reason on earth to look over his shoulder. He does not need to. Where would I go? He has my mother somewhere in this black stone, and he has the whole frozen north between me and my son, and he has three hundred years of being right about people like me.So I walk. I make myself walk, one foot and then the other, because a wolf who stands still and shakes is a wolf who has already lost, and I did not survive five years at the King's heel by losing where anyone could see.The hall goes down. That is the thing that gets into my chest firs

Kael The weight lifts off me the instant she says it, and I would give anything, my pack, my name, the breath in my body, to have it crush me back down instead, because a free man can watch and a pinned one cannot, and I do not want to be free for this."No." I get my feet under me. "Aria. No. We did not come here for you to walk into a cage. Take me, take me instead, you old horror, you want a silver, his blood runs in my son, take me and let her go.""You have no silver in you, Alpha, only courage, and I have all the courage I need caged already."The Pale does not even look at me. He is looking at her, only at her, the way a man looks at water after a long thirst."Your son carries a spark of it, yes. But a spark must be raised to a flame in fifteen years, and I am too old to wait. She is the deep blood, grown and whole and standing. She is the one I have crossed three centuries for."Now, at last, his white

AriaHe is waiting for us at the mouth of his hall, and he has come alone, and that is the most frightening thing about him.Three hundred years, and the Pale is not a monster out of a fireside story. He is a tall, spare, ancient wolf in the shape of a man, white-haired, white-eyed, and his face when he turns it on me is gentle and unbearably tired, the face of someone who has wanted one thing for a very long time and has finally, patiently, gotten it within reach. The hollowed silvers stand in ranks behind him, dozens of them, my mother somewhere among them, and they do not move, because he does not need them to.He does not look three hundred years old. There is frost in the white of his hair and frost behind the white of his eyes, and when he moves, which is rarely, it is with the terrible economy of something that learned a long time ago exactly how little motion the world requires of it.The hollowed silvers behind him breathe in tim

KaelI am the reason she is unguarded. I am the open door. The one mark in all the world that could have shut the Pale out of her, and I never set it, first out of fear five years ago and then out of honor these last weeks, and the two halves of that meet in me tonight like a blade folded over and hammered flat.We make a cold camp in a cleft above the cages, no fire, Rowan asleep between two warriors with Cassian standing over him like a drawn sword. Aria finds me at the lip of the rock where I have gone to fail to think, and she stands beside me close, not touching, the way she does, and for a long while neither of us says the thing."Don't," she says at last, when she feels me about to."You heard him. One mark and he can't touch you. I could close the door tonight. I could make you safe by morning.""And it would be the same thing you did in the clearing." Her voice is quiet and certain, and it stops me cold."You, decid
