Bab 59: Reunion...

Miriam (Nanny)

"Although the council is not complete as the other Priestesses are on a mission outside the pack, we, here are the seven cardinals needed in decision making and also with the authority of the High Priestess." Priestess Tania continued.

Mother Liora nodded and finally stepped forward. Her expression was calm but her eyes were filled with something I couldn't quite place.

"First of all, Miriam. I am more disappointed in you than anyone in this hall. Not only did you deceive me, I feel responsible for aiding your escapades but why should we punish you when the man who put you in this situation is allowed to roam free? He knew who you were and still, he had the guts to defile you?"
