Chapter 44

• The next three weeks passed by in a relative blur. Rylee and I could talk to each other in a civil manner although she didn’t come back to our room and we didn’t talk about anything that really mattered, unless it was lair business.
• The other three girls had been reunited with their families and Nadia had accepted our offer to stay in the guest house and work with Tessa. She had expanded her network and she took in women from other lairs that were being abused or needed a place to stay until they could get back on their feet.
• I mostly ignored the Elders and I had Hannah talk to them when we needed to make claims on behalf of these women that we took in. Rylee had seemed to settle her differences with Tessa and she was very involved in the happenings at the guest house.
