Chapter 241 Ava: Sister Miriam's Words

"What does that—"

"Never you mind, child." Sister Miriam glances toward Selene again, giving a faint shake of her head. "I will return with your wolf, and set some inquisitive minds in motion here in the city." Her words are slow as she gains control of her emotions once again. "This is a matter that affects me, after all."

"Thank you." I do my best to infuse my words with as much gratitude as I can.

Sister Miriam flaps her hand in my direction, an elegant wave of dismissal toward my appreciation. "Like I said, child, this matter affects more than just you. Layla and her lot will find out what information they can from the city council.

While I can assure you Dakota Sanctuary is not at war with your lot, that doesn't mean certain factions within are not meddling in the affairs of your packs." Her smile is tight. "As you've already experienced."

Answering is moot; she already knows what we've been through at the hands of vampires.

"Return to the Fae Ward, child. It is safer for you there. I will contact you when we have some news."

"Thank you," I say again, like a broken record.

The dhampir glances at the portal. "Have you heard from the Fae named Steve?"

The question catches me off guard. "No, I haven't. I've been in the Fae Ward this whole time."

Sister Miriam's gaze locks onto mine, and I can't shake the feeling that she's questioning my intelligence. Her eyes narrow slightly, and I resist the urge to squirm under her scrutiny.

"That's exactly why I asked, child."
