Chapter Twelve

Long after Siarl had left, called away prematurely for some emergency meeting at the Senedd, the building where the Mage Council was housed, Seren sat thinking about everything which had been revealed.

She would have happily left it at finding out she seemed to be irrevocably tied to Siarl in some weird, telepathic way. That was not what she wanted. She was trying to distance herself from him, for her own emotional well-being, not bind herself to him. And what did that mean, anyway?

But Siarl hadn’t been content with stopping there. Oh no, he’d had to bring Cami and Midnight in on the conversation.

At least the eventual outcome was that she could finally be held blameless of the accusations Siarl had thrown at her. So that was something.

Not that the facts seemed any more plausible or straightforward. Cami and Midnight had both agreed that they had been compelled through some higher force to exchange places, but that no malice had been intended. It was agreed that Seren had never actually left her room, but also accepted that she and Siarl had transcended to a higher plane.

One that apparently looked like Siarl’s bedroom.

An astral plane where they had shared a mental merging. To what end, no one really knew, but the consensus was that the entire experience was akin to having a shared dream - in layman’s terms - just as Seren had insisted.

Still, Seren couldn’t shake the feeling that something more fundamental had occurred. Never mind the fact that she felt entirely short-changed.

Not that she had admitted to that little gripe and she hoped to hellfire that Siarl hadn’t picked up on that irrational disappointment, because honestly, that would be beyond mortifying and the whole thing had already been embarrassing enough.

Let’s face it, no one wanted their sex life dissected by two insects, a bird and a fox, never mind the other participants - although it seemed like Cami and Midnight were involved to some extent there too.

No! Just no. She wasn’t going there. That was too much even to think about. She was beginning to feel like she was the unsuspecting star of some kind of ethereal porn movie. And while she had done a lot of risqué things in her short life, that wasn’t something she wanted to be remembered for.

Thank coven Siarl had been called away before she humiliated herself.

Huffing out a breath, Seren grabbed her regulation black witch’s cloak, then changed her mind and swapped it for a bright, cherry red one which lifted her spirits. She was already dressed in green, the colour which symbolised a fresh burst of life after the bareness of winter.

To hellfire with all of this; it was Imbolc, and she was going to continue with the plans she had made to ensure the beginning of spring ensued with no disturbance in her little corner of the realm. The rest of this was just a distraction that she really didn’t need right now.

She chose a fat, white candle and filled her
