Lanie

At first, I wasn’t sure what I could even say. The thought of it was horrible. Xander, Zane, and Mason

were

already a number of years older than I was. I’d always imagined us growing old together. To find out

now that

they’d get older and eventually die while I stayed the same…I shuddered.

“So, I won’t age beyond this point?” I asked her.

DarkLuna waved a hand as though she could read my mind. At this point, I wouldn’t have been

shocked if I found out she could. “Maybe by a few years or so. But your hair won’t go gray. Your face

won’t get lines. Not until you’re far older than I am, at any rate.”

“It sounds awful,” I whispered.

Her brows knit. “There’s an advantage to keeping your physical youth and beauty. The world is kinder

to a pretty person than an old crone. There’s a reason why everyone thinks of witches as being

ancient, withered,

and ugly..or that ancient, withered, and ugly women are witches.”

I thought of Rhiannon. “The only witch I know personally is not old and definitely not ugly,”

I hated thinking of Zane being with the witch, of having had to go to bed with her. Did this woman know

about that, too? I wasn’t going to say anything about it, if she didn’t bring it up.

“Not a relative, is she?” DarkLuna sounded concerned.

“No.”

Although if she had a child with my mate, wouldn’t that make her family, of a sort? I shoved the

thoughts out of my mind. Rhiannon was not going to have a baby with Zane. We’d done everything we

could to make

sure that didn’t happen.

“Don’t worry about keeping that pretty face, then. It’s not like you don’t grow and mature with

Age is more than a number, either in years or in lines on your forehead,” DarkLuna said.

Her words made sense to me. Didn’t I feel a lot older than eighteen? By the Moon, so much had

happened.

since my Mating Day that I realized I’d entirely forgotten about my birthday I was nineteen already.

Closer

even to twenty than eighteen. I shuddered at the realization and looked up to see the woman studying

me with

a small, secret smile.

“You know exactly what I’m talking about, don’t you?” she asked

“And this is because we are hybrids? I don’t understand. There are others who age normally. My

mother, for example.” I hesitated, thinking of my precious Stella, who seemed to be growing and

maturing extra fast.

DarkLuna snorted softly and drank some more of my beer. She lifted the glass toward me. “You sure yo

you don’t want one for yourself? You might need it

“No. I want my mind to stay clear” I shook my head.
