Chapter 135

• "Jenna," Aislinn said uncertainly and honestly. "Last night was desperation and a wild guess. I suppose I can try to do it again. But I'm not positive I can."
• Jenna assumed that Aislinn was messing with her. She wasn't inclined to trust Aislinn in anything. "So what do I have to do? I mean I stopped the attack. There's no way the Council will let me keep the alpha position in the Tairneach." Her voice lowered. "I suppose my father didn't want that anyway." Jenna's voice cracked and there were tears again. "I have something I need to ask him. Can't you just pity me and take me to talk to him? Or maybe one of the other druids can do it if you won't."
• Aislinn stared at her. Jenna's tone was making it hard for Aislinn to feel bad for her. The woman's actions had nearly taken her mate away. "I told you that I'll try," she said in a calm voice that a person would use with a whining child. "I don't know what the others are capable of. If I can't manage we can look into whether or not the others can. But Jenna I'm curious why you think you can ask for anything in your position. How many people did you intend to kill in your little quest for godhood?"
