Bab 113: Chapter 113

The awkwardness hadn't left the room yet, and Kelly had been gone for ten minutes.

The fact that her mother and Greta were getting along with her wolf family let her hope for a moment that they could all be in her life, that she wouldn't have to choose. 

Hilda's proclamation changed that stopped thread of hope in its tracks.

She looked up at the queen through her lashes to find Hilda incredibly focused on stripping the leaves off of the stocks of rosemary to set them to dry. 

Isla didn't think her mother had ever used her hands a day in her life, not like this.
