Katherine realized that Duke Ariam Romanov, that she suspected of falling in love with Sophie, turned out to be the one that Eloise was childhood friends with. The woman beside her along with other Witches heard Katherine and quickly glanced at her.
The Grand Witch Elaine's expression suddenly turned frosty and she looked at Katherine with a blank expression. "Is there any resistance with you, dear sister?"
"No," Katherine shook her head quickly and was filled with fear in her heart. "I just blurted it out and was thinking about sothing else."
"Wait, weren't you supposed to be in Hastings before coming here, Katherine?" one of the witches that Katherine exchanged pleasantries earlier pointed out.
Eloise's expression suddenly shifted and she looked at Katherine differently. The smile on the witch's face beca a lot more predatory. "Oh, has there been any chance that you have t with my friend, Leland?"
All eyes were suddenly on Katherine and they were all unfriendly. She knew that she suddenly put herself on a terrible spot by speaking aloud but the idea of Duke Romanov being betrothed to Eloise was a terrible thing.
She liked Sophie and didn't wish to see her get hurt. The duke had always been kind to her. Katherine knew what kind of woman Eloise was. If she entered the picture, Sophie's life in Duke Romanov's castle would be unpleasant.
,m However, lying was even a worse sin to commit when a person was in a coven. Katherine gulped and swallowed hard before nodding her head. "Yes, in fact I have t with him."
"And what does Leland need you for?" Witch Eloise raised a brow. "We have already been assisting him from afar so he has no need for an ordinary witch's services at all. I am sure that he doesn't even know that you are there."
The witch's voice wasn't harsh at all and only inquisitive all of a sudden. If it were anyone else, they would have let their guard down but Katherine was uneasy at the sudden loss of anger.
Katherine wanted to lie and protect Sophie… however, how long until the other witches figured out the truth about Sophie? There was no way that they wouldn't figure it out once they ca and visited the Blood River Pack.
What Katherine could do was reassure the other witches that Sophie was in no way a threat at all and could be trusted.
As far as Katherine knew, Sophie was actually married to soone else so there was no way that she'd respond to the duke's advances if the quiet man ever made a move at all.
