‘No,’ Ashleigh said firmly after Lily had explained her plan.
‘Ashleigh,’ Lily sighed.
‘No,’ Ashleigh repeated.
‘Ashleigh, you know it is the right plan,’ Lily replied.
‘It’s a dangerous plan!’ Ashleigh growled.
“Is everything all right?” Fiona asked, seeing the tense look on Ashleigh’s face.
Ashleigh took a deep breath.
“Sorry,” she began. “Lily said she had an idea about how we might be able to save the Summer wolves.”
Fiona immediately perked up.
“What is it?” she asked.
“It doesn’t matter,” Ashleigh replied. “It’s not safe.”
“More not safe than waiting to be overrun by hybrids and fae?” Fiona asked.
Ashleigh clenched her jaw and lowered her gaze.
‘Tell her,’ Lily whispered. ‘You agreed to allow her to remain the acting Luna during this war. And you did that because you know she is better equipped to make the right decisions when it comes to protecting Summer.”
Ashleigh took a deep breath, feeling a trace of bitterness at Lily’s words.
