Chapter 27
Annemarie sat down on the bed beside River, touching her gently. "It must be hard, dear. Knowing your sister, the one who took your betrothed and made you run away is close."
River let out a humorless chuckle. "Even you know that story, Annemarie?"
Annemarie gave her a sad smile. "It's a tale told for years in the pack. It is a sad story, I must say. And it's painful how they didn't see the true you, the strong and gifted woman you are. They laughed at you instead. But River, you are bigger than any one of us could comprehend. I'm sure you know that already."
Her mother's letter did say the same but it all didn't make sense to her. However, her mother's letter also told her not to trust anyone with her secret. So, for all she knew, Annemarie might not even know anything about the content of the letter apart from what Finn had told her about.
'Witchery'. Therefore, she wouldn't just blurt it out but act oblivious until she was sure.
