“Ash?” Caleb called to her.
“We need to hurry,” she replied, immediately moving away from him, but he stopped her.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa,” he said, holding her shoulders. “Before you go charging off, I need to know what’s happening. I can feel how worried you are, but I need to know what’s going on.”
Ashleigh took a deep breath and let out a heavy sigh.
“You’re right,” she said. Closing her eyes and taking a brief moment to calm herself. “Ok, listen, there has been an attack in Winter.”
“What? When? How do you know?” he asked.
“Now, I think,” she replied. “Lily’s Rest, it’s been destroyed. Lily felt it. That was why she screamed. It was more than just a place to her, more than where she died. It was a connection to her descendants and to her mom. But Roman sent a monster and destroyed it.”
Ashleigh looked away, feeling a deep pain for Lily, knowing there was nothing she could say or do to help her with the pain.
