Morgan couldn’t sleep. She stared up at the moon above her nest and wondered why she felt so... strange.

After her conversation with the forest being, she couldn’t get its words out of her head. The Mountain King was inside her? She’d spent hours in the sequestered pools of her own powers, kept separate from his borrowed magic, but she couldn’t find a hint of green.

It was all her magic. All the way it should be.

Sure, there was more magic than she’d thought there would be so soon after depleting it. That wasn’t all so surprising while she was in the faerie realm. She knew time passed slower here than in her world.

But then again, Liam had claimed this wasn’t the faerie realm. Maybe time passed the same as it did in the human realm.

She didn’t know what to believe. Was her magic growing faster because some of his had melded with hers and she couldn’t see it?

She should have been disgusted that a faerie had somehow left his mark inside her. Any self-respecting witch would have funneled all her magic into the ground and made sure there wasn’t the tiniest bit of faerie inside her. Her coven would have destroyed every bit of her magic. They would have tried to exorcise the creature from her skin, soul, and mind.

The responsible thing would have been to do exactly that. Scrub her mind clean of him, and any lingering faerie influence.

But she couldn’t let him go.

Her mind wondered what the world would look like without the green magic. The veins of emerald still hovered at the edge of her vision. She could see where every single plant was tied to this realm and all the glimmering power.

The world was more beautiful because she could see all this. It was lovely and wonderful and so different from the human realm. Giving that up felt like giving up her ability to see color.

It wasn’t necessary for her to see the magical ties, but it made the world a better place.

She sat up in her nest and scrubbed her hands over her face. Sleep wouldn’t be coming tonight, apparently. All she could manage was arguments with herself.

“Get ahold of yourself, Morgan,” she grumped. Her mind wouldn’t listen.

If she wasn’t thinking of her magic, then she was thinking of that kiss. The kiss that had branded her for the rest of her life.

How was any other man going to live up to that?

Such a stupid thought. Men didn’t have to live up to each other and comparing anyone’s kiss to another was foolish. She was only hurting herself with thoughts like these.

Groaning, she sat cross legged in the middle of the nest and held her head in her hands. Tunneling her fingers through her tangled locks seemed to help. She could tug a bit and the pain put her back in the place where she needed to be. She had to remember this was only temporary, and she had survived worse than handsome faerie men who consumed her thoughts.
