Chapter 26

• “The poison that was injected into Bruce's body was contagious for werewolves. We didn’t know it but three days after we sent you and Bran on the island, we were all summoned to an emergency council, every single werewolves from the south, here in the manor and all the werewolves that had approached Bruce, whether in the bathing ritual or at the memorial were already ill. The first one, Ingar, died in the council, we didn’t know what happened and when Jocelyn fell ill, she knew what it was. She died two days later, it was horrible. Jocelyn was the fiercest she-wolf I’ve ever encountered and yet, she died in a few days.
