"Well, I do suppose he'll show his face here eventually." The queen smirked, then leaned back in her chair. "But I'll admit, I'm getting tired of waiting for him."
Cecilia kept her mouth shut.
"Do you miss him still?"
"Every day, Your Majesty."
"Really? You've spent far more time with me in here than you ever did with him out there."
"The heart knows what it wants, Your Majesty."
"You don't have a heart. Not a real one, anyway." The queen waved her hand dismissively. "Never mind, that's just semantics. I didn't make your kind to love, so what do you suppose happened? A flaw in my design? Or perhaps something happened to you in the mortal realm?"
"I couldn't say, Your Majesty." Cecilia kept her gaze forward, afraid to betray anything.
"Ah, well. I've still got some time to think on it." She turned her attention to the court. "Next!" she called out, then rose to meet a delegation of seelie from the northern plains.
When the queen was adequately far away, Cecilia closed her eyes and concentrated.
Mike was awake, which meant she couldn't see him in his dreams. It was something she had discovered some months ago, that she could visit him in his dreams. She had even talked to him briefly, but the dream had faded.
Undeterred, she cast her mind out to her brother instead. While she couldn't communicate with him, she could sometimes see through his eyes. Most of the time, it wasn't of any use, but even brief glimpses of the house brought her strength.
Sulyvahn was standing outside. It was a sunny day at the Radley house, and time had slowed to a crawl. Currently, he was looking at Mike, whose mouth was open mid-sentence.
Warmth bloomed inside her chest, and she fought to keep the smile off her face, lest the queen see it. At the current speed, the conversation with Mike could be days or even weeks from her point of view.
Content for now, she watched.
Mike almost has the key to the Underworld. Our journey to retrieve everyone's favorite banshee is is about to begin once more, and when it does, some serious shit will go down!
Be the kindness you want to see in the world, and I will see you next time!

Anonymousabout 2 months agoThank you for all of the hard work you’ve put into this masterpiece! I originally came for the smut, and stayed for the story. Haven’t been able to put it down since I started. Bravo! Hoping that Mike and Beth eventually either hook up, or develop a romance.
Anonymous6 months agoLOVE your commentary at the end of each chapter. You are a very talented writer! Can’t tell you how many times I’ve been reading until the wee hours of the morning!
RaptorPilot7 months agoThe word for a male slut is 'slutmaker'. Just FYI for the folks in the comments.
fishkopp9 months agoI am with @Redneck_390 and @Kahunabob on this one. When it's fine for one character to have a non-monogamous relationship (actually, lots of them), then it should be fine for any of the others to do something similar.
Also, the caveat of "no sneaking behind the partners' backs" applies to both.
So why the amount of comments on Beth's behavior (on a site like this, in a "church newsletter" or similar I would understand)? Is it that cultural? And, is it linked to that it seems that the word for a male slut is "stud"?!?
