Chapter Seven

Evie brought her hand up, her knuckles just a hair’s breadth from the door’s polished surface. She took a deep breath, trying to muster enough courage to knock, but fear gripped her so tightly she couldn’t even do something as simple as that. That was to be expected—after all, the High Priestess’s office was right behind that door.

She hadn’t exactly been summoned, but she figured that the logical thing would be to step in front of the whole mess. Even though she was a nervous wreck, there was no use in delaying the inevitable.

Swallowing felt like trying to push a bucket of rusty nails down her throat. Her knees wobbled awkwardly, and another wave of nausea hit. Had she ever been this nervous? Not that she could recall, and things would only get worse once she stepped inside Regina Lafontaine’s office.

She was going to be kicked out of the coven, the only real home she had ever known. And that was the best-case scenario. Things could get much nastier—after all, the High Priestess was one of the most powerful witches in Othercross, and she didn’t possess the traits that would allow her to ignore the kind of rule-breaking Evie had done. Yeah, whatever was going to happen inside that office…none of it would be good.

“Quit stalling and come in already.”

Regina’s voice came from inside the office so suddenly it startled Evie. Doing it almost unconsciously, she placed her hand over the ornate brass handle—the design worn smooth and bright over the centuries—and turned it. The old wooden door creaked as it swung on its hinges, and Evie couldn’t help but think of that sound as ominous. Summoning what courage she had left, she stepped inside the spacious office and closed the door behind her.

“My apologies, High Priestess,” she muttered, clasping her hands in front of her as she lowered her gaze in deference.

Almost immediately, her fears turned into shame, and she would have crawled inside a hole if there was one around. She had always been an exemplary witch, but she had just thrown her entire reputation down the drain.

“How long were you standing there?” Regina asked. Before Evie could reply, she chuckled softly and continued. “You know I can feel your presence, don’t you? I knew you were outside.”

“Yes, sorry…I…I just…”

Why can’t I even speak like a regular person? Words melted inside her mouth and blended into an incoherent rambling. She felt like the world’s greatest idiot which, suffice to say, wasn’t how she wanted to feel.

“Ingrid West was just here,” Regina said, and Evie’s knees threatened to buckle under her weight. “She told me something very interesting, Evanora. And unexpected, if I may add. Now, is it true? Did you have relations with a man last night? A fae?”

Doing her best not to burst into tears, Evie balled her hands into fists and straightened her back. There was no use in hiding it anymore. The cat was out of the bag, and the only thing she could do was own it.
