To say Adeline was angry would be the understatement of the century. She didn't just want to scream, she wanted to flip a heavy oak table right into the High Priest's ridiculously smug face!
She forced herself to take a slow, deep breath. 'Breathe, Adeline.'
The Goddess suddenly stopped talking. AGAIN! And it seems this time it really isn't her fault, it was Edward. How did he do that? She had to push that question aside for now and focus on the situation at hand.
She was prepared for this. This was the exact scenario they had mapped out in the study. It would be a massive lie to say she hadn't harboured a tiny, foolish hope that she could have just vaporised Edward right then and there.
But Cassian, the voice of reason, which he had suddenly become, had warned her this was the most likely outcome. She did not expect this character growth from him, but she was here for it.
