She left her in Giovanni Tiero’s hands with the promise that she’d “be back in a day.” I hope. It was the only way, Ana realized. And the Tiero didn’t have a bad reputation. And they had held offices in the Shifter Council at one time and another. “I hold the stone, Esmerelda.” These were Giovanni’s final words to Esmerelda before he closed the vehicle door behind her. And so it was, Ana and Esmerelda, accompanied by Federico and a dozen of Giovanni’s shifters, were in two large vehicles and bound for Rome. Giovanni’s shifters were part of his security team. Dressed in suits, they were burly and all business. The time back to Rome didn’t take long because they didn’t have to hike through the woods the way Ana and Isabel had. The Tieros had a driveway that led straight to the road. Wish I’d known about this.
