That's just my mom. There's just the two of us, and we don't see eye to eye about a lot of stuff." He filled the mugs with hot water and handed one to M

oira. "Like this kitchen, for example. All I want to do is turn seventeen so I can get my own flat and have a decent place. All this mess makes me insan e. Every once in a while I lose it and clean everything up, and then we have a big row. Mum doesn't see what the big deal is. I don't care who cleans up as long as one of us does. But she won't, and she hates it when I do, so I'

m stuck."

"What about your dad?"

lan's expression darkened. "They broke up a long time ago."

"Do you ever see him?"

Ian shook his head slowly. "Nah. Not in a couple of years. We moved here, a nd he didn't seem too interested in keeping in touch. I think he has a new family now."

Moira blinked. Odd-that sounded a lot like what she'd read about Cal in her mum's Book of Shadows. But still, plenty of people had divorced parents an d didn't see their dads much. It didn't mean anything.

"I'm sorry," Moira said. "It's different, I know, but I do know what it's li ke to lose your da." Moira sipped her tea, wondering if she should just say what had driven her here in the first place. After all, according to Katrina

, people knew the truth anyway, so it wasn't like she was revealing some big secret. No, the only person it had been a secret from was her, the one pers on who deserved to know. She looked up and saw Ian looking at her, concerned.

"Are you all right?" he asked.

"Ciaran MacEwan really was my grandfather," she blurted. "Mum told me everyth ing after you left. It was all true. I feel like I'm, well, destined to be ba d."

Ian made a sympathetic face. "Even if Ciaran was your grandfather," he sai d, "that doesn't change anything about you-you never even knew him, and he

's gone now."

"But my mum let me believe someone else was my grand¬father my whole li fe," Moira went on. "I feel like I don't even know her anymore. Like I hardly even know myself. Yesterday I was Moira Byrne. Today I'm Moira B

yrne, granddaughter of Ciaran MacEwan. How am I going to face anyone?"

"Look ... I know, and I don't care," Ian said seriously, taking her hand. Moir a felt her breath quicken and a tingle of aware¬ness start at the bottom of he r spine. "Anyone who thinks it's a big deal, just ignore them. And that's whet her they think it's good or bad."

"What do you mean, good? How could anyone possibly think it's good?"

Ian looked at her. "Oh."

Dark witches. They'd be happy to find the granddaughter of Ciaran MacEwan

. Without thinking, Moira glanced at the doorway, wondering if Lilith was out there. Had Ian known all along about Ciaran? Had Lilith?

Moira sighed and rubbed her forehead.
