All Chapters of The Blessed Priestess (Book One): Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

The morning was a blur and I wasn’t sure if it was because of how many hands were on me perfecting my dress but also the fact that the High Priestess had pretended as if nothing had even happened yesterday. I could see through some of the smiles and nods as I passed by the priestess of the house that many approved with a few glares here and there that I couldn’t help but laugh at. Most of those priestesses were either very young or the ones that had never really spoken to me my entire life so that was easy to do. I tried to stick to being stiff as a board and not letting my mind wander even when I was being poked and measured. I just wasn’t sure why there was so much that needed attention. Once the morning of being fitted again was over there was the awkward lunch with the High Priestess. Neither of us said much but she did have a few words that let her believe she was in control. After my night with Laura last night and the loving pats on my shoulder as she helped me deal with

The bathroom was in the hallway behind a closed door to the dining room. It was full of doors to priestess rooms and there was a bathroom in the middle luckily the kitchen was on the other side where the priestess was cooking and prepping for the meal. I walked quickly and did not say a word as I was unsure of what to say to Rogan at this moment. “Hey wait up, little priestess.” His hand reached for mine from behind and I snapped my hand up to my chest before he could get a good hold. “Well, that wasn’t very nice, “he pouted. We arrived at the other side of the door and I folded my arms leaning on the other side so he could open it freely. “Here you are future alpha, do you need me to wait so you don’t get lost?” I glared at him trying to ignore the fantastic smell of his cologne and his chiseled smile looking me over. He reached out to the top of where my arm was showing and traced his finger down. “Are you going to tell me why you are so angry and not at all excited I

Kellina was nervous and excited twirling her bracelet Rogan had given her as her mind faded away while the Alphas and the High Priestess spoke to each other. In some ways, she knew it was a good thing if the alpha family came and especially Rogan, but she wasn’t even sure what her wolf would look like. What if Rogan didn’t like her? What if she wasn’t ready for all of what was to become? If only there was a way for her to just hide in the woods and have her birthday all by herself so she could decide when everyone got to see her. Now it was turning into more of an intimidating moment with the Alpha family now being present. His breath behind me sent chills went down my spine, “I like that bracelet on you.” I could hear the smirk in his deep voice. I turned to him taking him in and then surveying the scene to assure nobody was listening. “Why are you doing this?” Rogan’s hand went up to brush a hair from her face but she backed away subtly because it would be far

I did my best to keep walking and prayed -to the goddess that I could just get to my room without her saying a word. I was through the entrance and making my way through the formal greeting area. “Stop!” She yelled and I froze at the impact of the words. I slowly turned around to see her face redonned with fury. Red like I had never seen and I could see Laura’s face behind me frightened as I was with the anger she yelled, “Kellina sit down now.” I am still as I possibly could while still moving made it to the chair next to me and used the armchair for grip and strength. She came up to me her eyes directly on my face looking at me all over as if she was trying to see more than was there. I was terrified but my wolf was desperately trying to get me to rage which I was able due to my fear silence my wolf and put it in a block of ice until this was over. I looked up to meet eyes with her. I felt like she stared me up and down for hours but was likely more like seconds. “Tell me rig

My heart was full and enthralled with her porcelain skin and her fingers tantalizing my body as she became a braver explorer. I took in her words deeply and concerning. She was so worried and my anger was intense at how the high priestess had treated her let alone slapped her. I had to admit I hadn’t thought my statements were that surprising that she would in the end take it out on Kellina. I had to be more careful with my words and actions around her because nothing in me could bare the idea again of me being the reason she was hurt or upset. It killed my entire insides but I knew we didn’t have the time nor the luxury of me acting on any of it. Instead, I took her in as she stood there in the moonlight with beautiful tendrils of hair escaping her usually down hair almost past her small slender butt. I was desperate to squeeze it and run my fingers through that untamed hair, but she had made it clear I needed to keep my distance. I should have paid closer attention to
