Once they were sat at the bar, Lorcan stared Alannah down, even though she said she was sorry and genuinely looked it, he wasn’t going to make this easy for her!
LORCAN: Okay, explain yourself! Who are you for a second cousin and where did you appear from?
ALANNAH: Rowena’s grandmother, Constance, and my grandmother, Octavia, are sisters. I’m almost 7 years older than Rowena but we were close when she was growing up.
LORCAN: So how come she’s never mentioned you if you’re so close?
ALANNAH: There’s always been a rift between our grandmas. They fell out a very long time ago over a man, long story! My mum and Rowena’s Aunt stayed close and we spent holidays and birthdays together. But then things got worse when I was chosen to be the next coven leader when my great grandfather dies, which Goddess only knows when that will be. It made things even more bitter within our family and we just...lost touch!
LORCAN: I see, so you thought hey I haven’t seen Rowena for a while, why don’t I go to Newcrest and fuck up her life a bit, eh?
ALANNAH: No, Clayton Boudreaux contacted my mother and grandmother informing us that a shapeshifter had corrupted Rowena. He...he made it sound like she and the rest of the Stewarts were in danger...
LORCAN: Bullshit, the only danger to Rowena is fucking Boudreaux himself!
LORCAN: Wait, where are you going?
ALANNAH: I can’t discuss this here, let’s go sit away from the bar where we can’t be heard, I’ve already compromised our family enough, I don’t need eavesdroppers going back to Clayton!
