I had been Rogue Queen for exactly six days. Six days of bliss. Six days of Mama River making me lift bigger logs. Six days of Giselle learning how to wash dishes without breaking them. Six days of Theo teaching me how to read the old runes that glowed when I touched them. Six days of no Jaxon at my border, because he was actually doing what I told him to do - dismantling his father's pack from the inside. Elder Mira sent a letter every day. Silverpine Omega attic is now a library. - J. He made the cooks serve seconds. - J. He punched Cole for calling an Omega fat. - J. I kept the letters in my pink journal, the one Jaxon returned. On the seventh day, the bliss ended. A white raven landed on our Curved Moon banner at dawn. White ravens only come from the Grand Council in the Capital.
