“Axel said the Priestess will make sure Roman can’t come back,” Bell said quietly. She kept her eyes focused on the small teddy bear in her hands.
After Galen and Caleb had returned to the room, they sat together for an hour. Four friends chatting and laughing.
It was wonderful.
Just a few short minutes ago, the boys had left to pick up the lunch they had all finally agreed on.
As soon as Galen had left the room, Ashleigh had felt the shift in Bell just as before.
Rather than try to break the ice, she remained quiet, allowing Bell to decide where their conversation would go this time.
She chose to talk about what had happened; Ashleigh tried her best to remain neutral in her response.
“Yes,” she nodded. “She said that she would seal the territory to him.”
“Do you think she can?” Bell asked.
Ashleigh nodded.
“I believe that the Priestesses hold power we can’t begin to imagine,” Ashleigh said. “What I saw her do, was insane.”
