I hope this chapter was fun for you to read, because I absolutely adore my spider girls!

As always, don't forget to rate and review, and definitely check out my bio for release dates. This one got posted a few days late, but I did make the change in advance, and all my apologies once again.

Next chapter has our girls chasing a new lead on the Dragon Seed. But as the timeline catches back up, what of the Society?

Stay tuned, and thank you so much for being the best readers on the planet!
