All Chapters of The Blessed Priestess (Book One): Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

As we now walked into the woods to a nice opening just inside close to the school which from Reese’s house in more of the area considered the town it was only ten minutes away. Reese hurriedly texted I assumed Alex and I allowed my thoughts to wonder what Sophia meant by I had her support. Were they trying to make me the next High Priestesses? I didn’t think that was the way the moon goddess would go and in many ways hoped she wouldn’t. I felt dread inside me thinking of the idea of being in that house again and even more so in the room where Melina had lived all of what I remembered. It felt gross and disgusting and although I’m sure whoever the replacement was I would find my way there at some point at least I w The rest of the way was silent and we made our way to the woods into a clearing with a large bonfire already lit even with the daylight still shining down. It was set up very nicely with large wood logs for everyone to sit around with plenty of other areas for socialization

I was in the vehicle and realized that Erin was not getting in. I guess I wasn’t surprised but the guilt was settling in nicely. I wondered if I had egged Erin on and part of me felt like I had which made it worse. I knew for sure my feelings for Rogan were different but the feelings with Erin had I created them and made him feel that way? I was becoming terrified of my powers because I now knew I could manipulate more than I ever thought possible I created a rift between three solid friends in a blink of an eye all because they were jealous of me. The part that was bugging me the most is realizing that if the roles were reversed I would have been jealous of myself too so why was I treating them so badly? I felt like I needed to get a better handle on this and promised myself a quick stop at Sarah’s tomorrow to discuss it because I wasn’t sure how even Laura would handle what I’d done in anger. It was a quick drive back to the house but I looked up to see some windy roads and we were

I walked outside hoping that Sarah would be able to convince the Alpha to figure out who my family was so we could have a few more answers about where all my powers were coming from. Even Sarah, I now realized wasn’t sure of the extent of how far my powers could grow. I had seemed to be already passing what she could do as a red wolf and even though Sarah didn’t say it I could feel that she was a bit uneasy about it. I hoped it was uneasy as she wasn’t sure how to help not that she too was afraid of me. I waited at the porch until Erin came around still his brooding self and when he took a look at me he just stopped. I stood up and began walking waving at Sarah through the window who was shaking her head. Sarah hadn’t asked about why my guard was so angry with me but I think it was obvious in some ways and she knew it wasn’t really anything she needed to pry into. After all, it was quite possible everything would change after tonight. Sarah didn’t have any answers for me on what t

I opened the box and was astonished by what I saw now an ankle-length dress that was black with hand-sewn white silver-looking leaf prints and wouldn’t you know the slighted hint of a drak red trimming on the tips of the leaves. The boddess was tight and looked almost like a corset on top with silver laces on the back. The straps themselves were a satin black. It was truly stunning and I immediately felt uneasy and unsure if I was deserving of such a dress. I looked over at Reese and Laura with both of them in as much awe as I. “It’s breathtaking”, Reese stated in just as much astonishment as I felt at the moment looking down at the dress. “Clara had done it again,” Laura states clasping her hands together and using them to pull shut her jaw. “Someone really needs to allow that woman to own her own dress shop.” We all nodded in agreement at that because Clara was truly an amazing artist and if designing dresses was not an art it should be with Clara. I took a deep breath as I

I quickly was able to whisper to Reese what Rogan said and she seemed a bit stunned as me. Both of us wondered what it meant but knowing that both now Laura and Rogan had confirmed it I mentally prepared myself for what was about to come. It was close to dinner time and everyone began taking their seats. It was a round table so I was able to see and speak to everyone. Laura sat on my side and Reese on the other I knew for support. I was especially grateful for these two because I knew when things got a bit scary this evening it meant that I could grab either hand and feel loved. I was also whirling about my wolf and the feeling I had just a short moment ago. I pondered if this was my wolf trying to tell me what I had wondered all alone but maybe now as Rogan became so close perhaps it was so obvous. I did another scan this time avoiding the Alpha table altogether and saw Erin standing more like lurking outside but still able to see and hear everything. I felt like this was his way
