CHAPTER 170 Return to The Coven

The trio had traveled for days with Ely as their guide to see them safely through the

ignore the exhaustion and persevered as best she could, remaining mostly silent

about her difficulties throughout the rest of the arduous trek.

She wasn’t entirely sure that this was any better than a death sentence. Out here, her

unborn child’s life was not guaranteed, and at this point, that was all that mattered to
