Chapter 29 Truce

• After their late night, it’s unsurprising that they don’t wake up until noon. As Aileen’s eyes blink open she remembers what had happened the night before and stares at the blank ceiling. She has so much work to do. Things will change, she’s sure of it, but how? What does she have to do? It’s like that part of the plan is being hidden from her, like not even her mother and father were privy to it. A secret that Serliciaus is keeping for themselves until the right time, although who knows when the ‘right time’ is? She turns onto her side and brings a hand to Cayson’s face, smiling as she thumbs his cheek and his eyelids flutter open, the man groaning at the sunlight filling the room.
• “What happens now, Cayson?” Aileen asks, softly. “Do I stay at yours, you here, or what?”
• “Did you get told what actually happens if a witch uses magic against a werewolf that isn’t self-defence?” Aileen shakes her head in response.
