Finally back at his desk, coffee in hand, Simon stared at the screen. Cressida. He’d known her for a long time. She’d recently became the overlord of the vampires, and her life partner had assumed her role as councillor. What would she have to say? He also knew the power of the overlord overcame the fire of the sun. While it was another form of magic, he knew—or had recently learned—that they all stemmed from a single source of power.

Simon sucked in a deep breath and reached for his cell.

“Hello?” a female voice answered after several rings.

“Cressida? It’s Simon Bellingham. I’m wondering if you have a few moments?”

“Simon! Hi, yes. Samantha is asleep and so is Daniel, so I’m just trying to catch up on paperwork.”

“Never seems to end, does it?” He laughed, as did she.

“No. But what can I help you with?”

His mirth died away. “Fairies. I need to know more. Their lore, the process of banishment, and why a witch would seek to have one removed. Mating.”

“Wow. That’s quite a list, Simon. Backtrack for a moment, though. Why do you suddenly need this information?”

It felt wrong to tell her he’d fallen for one. He hadn’t even told Niamh yet, but he needed the information. “I’ve met one. She’s…” He stumbled over the way to describe her. Happy usually, driven and loyal, beautiful and fragile.

His.

“You’ve found a mate,” Cressida deduced. “She’s a fairy, I take it.”

He grunted.

“I can see why you’re confused. In all my years, I’ve never heard of a fairy-were mating before. But then, who’d have heard of a vamp-were hybrid like Jelani either? I’m sorry I can’t give you any further clarity. I’ll look through the library I had brought here from Gianna’s stronghold. There may be something there, but I’d advise that you talk with an elder of a fairy herd. They may shed more light on it. The one thing I know is that there is a change in the magic. As if the very essence has reshaped itself.”

Scrubbing a hand over his brow, he considered her words. “How do you manage it? Being overlord, mother, and life partner?”

“It’s all about balance and honesty, Simon. But you have to find your own, because what works for us may well be different for you.”

“Yeah.” He looked out the window and noted that Jessica was arriving. “I have to go, Cressida. I’ll think over your suggestions and will be in touch again soon.”

They disconnected, and he sat back in his seat, drumming his fingers on the tabletop as he considered all she’d said. The only logical conclusion was to talk to an elder fairy.
