Wolf Blood (26 page)

I can sense Morcant holding his breath. I feel all the skeins of my life and of my visions weaving themselves into shape around me. I am like a spider caught in my own web. So many of my dreams have been about Caratacus, the wolf and Mona. I never thought I saw my own future, but it seems that it has been haunting me for my whole life.

There is only one answer I can give. I take a deep breath. I know that I am making a vow. The Wild Weird are watching me as if my answer matters. The assembled men are waiting for my response and Morcant is willing me to answer. It still comes out as little more than a whisper. ‘Yes, I will come with you to Mona.’

Ger hugs me as a father and Morcant kisses me as much more than a comrade. I don’t ever want him to stop. I thank the gods for their blessings.

I am Trista. I am a seeress and my visions are true.
