THE LONG MEETING XIX

"So, Leonarya has Margo. Why would Esther be a spy for the woman that captured her aunt?" Blenda inquired, not making sense of the matter.

Shouldn't the girl be here, on their side, advocating for her aunt's release; looking for ways to pay back the black witch with her own coin.

"I have asked myself that question a thousand times. The only explanation I could think of is that Leonarya had probably threatened to kill Margo if Esther didn't work for her, and didn't spy on the pack. Esther is a good person. I had spoken to her. She was genuinely hurt when Margo had gone missing." Anthony stated-been the only one that had gotten close to the witch,and whose disappearance hurt the most.

The others in the hall ruminated on Anthony's statement, making sense of it, Melvina included.

She was beginning to feel a bit ironic for judging the girl and her betrayal. The girl had thought she had no choice, but she, Melvina, had.
