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 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."
