“It’s too late.” Thane looked to the smashed altar. The pieces had blown outward – something inside having ripped its way out from within. Massive claw marks raked across the stone. “Whatever evil was here, Anara’s freed it,” he said quietly. “I’ve no doubt we’ll soon be seeing its foul presence in our lands.”
Freyja nodded. “Which is precisely why I will ascend the Throne of Bones in your father’s stead.”
“What?” Thane turned to his mother, shocked. “But I’m ready! I bested Fang, I can—”
The Den Mother loomed over her son like a mountain peak. “Do you think you could best me?”
His mouth opened, but he caught himself.
“As I thought,” Freyja said. “The Greymane pack is in danger, and as the strongest Greymane, I will be the one to lead from atop the Throne of Bones.”
“But?” Thane asked.
“I am but one wolf,” Freyja said, tearing off a piece of her cloak and using it to cover the still-bleeding wounds on her son’s neck. “You will take my place someday, but you stand here now a mere Prince of Blades. You are not an alpha among wolves. Not yet.”
Thane nodded. “I understand, Den Mother.”
“If the king is truly behind this,” Freyja continued, “we cannot afford to have an inexperienced leader. You may yet sit on the throne, but until then you will watch and learn.” She leaned close to him. “You are heir to the Throne of Bones, Thane. Will you prove yourself to be the Winter Wolf your brother could not?”
