I slipped into the clearing, basket slung at my side, and began gathering tusoshary. I wasn’t sure whether to hunt down a Yale beast or search for the elusive crawling stammerwort. My decision would have to wait—first, I needed river pokeroot. The sound of rustling snapped me into the shadows, heart hammering. I knew there would be other creatures out here, but these woods were unfamiliar to me.

A bark broke the silence.

“Bella?”

“Woof!” She tilted her head, as if asking what I was doing out h

  • Finding The Cure: An Order Of Love   The Lock between us

    The shadow beneath the door shifted, and for one wild second, I thought Carlin might actually reach for the handle. My heart slammed against my ribs so hard it sent ripples through the bathwater. What had started as a joke—mostly—had taken a serious turn. The ensuing silence stretched, making me painfully aware of the water dripping from my raised hand and the heat creeping into my face.Finally, Carlin cleared his throat. “That sounds like a dangerous invitation.”“It’s only dangerous if you intend to accept.”I meant the words to sound teasing and confident. They came out a little breathless instead.“Did you want me to?” Carlin tried to sound confident, but it fell flat.My fi

  • Finding The Cure: An Order Of Love   Hot Water And Temptation

    The washing room was barely large enough to hold the wooden tub tucked into one corner. A narrow bench rested against the opposite wall beneath a row of iron hooks, and bundles of dried lavender hung from the ceiling beams. The sweet, calming scent mixed with warm soap and damp stone.It was the most beautiful room I had ever seen.After days of cold rivers, dirt, blood, and sleeping on the ground, the steam curling above the water in delicate ribbons and brushing against my face felt like a miracle, and I could have wept.“I’m never leaving,” I whispered.Ev rested one shoulder against the doorframe. “I’ll tell Carlin you’ve chosen the tub over him.”“I haven’t chosen Carlin at all.” I blurted out too fast. Heat creeping up my face.“Of course not.” The ease of her agreement made me narrow my eyes. She gave me an innocent smile that fooled absolutely no one. “Enjoy your bath.

  • Finding The Cure: An Order Of Love   The Second-in-Command

    The Seeker camp appeared between the trees late that afternoon.At first, I saw only the pointed roofs of the watchtowers rising above the pines. Then the road curved, revealing a wall of sharpened logs enclosing the camp. Smoke curled from the chimney of a squat stone building, carrying the welcome scents of burning oak and something savory cooking inside. Voices drifted over the wall. Steel rang against steel in the training yard, followed by a burst of laughter and someone shouting about an unfair blow.After the silence and blood of the last camp, those ordinary sounds loosened the knot that had been sitting beneath my ribs. This camp is safe, at least for now.Bella must have felt it too. Her pace quickened, and her tail began to sway behind her.Through the o

  • Finding The Cure: An Order Of Love   Jealous, Love?

    Morning arrived far too soon. Pale light crept through the branches, transforming the mist between the trees into a dull silver. As the fire had burned down to a bed of glowing embers, the clearing grew cold, causing every breath to form a faint cloud in front of my face. Consequently, I burrowed deeper beneath my cloak..Sleep had come in short, miserable pieces, with lightning flashing across pale skin and bones cracking somewhere in the darkness each time I drifted off. Now my eyes felt packed with sand, and a dull ache pulsed behind them.“Rise and shine, everyone!”Ev’s voice cut through the quiet with entirely too much cheer.I dragged my cloak over my head. “No.”Leaves crunched as she approached my bedroll.“An inspiring response.” She teased as she tried pulling my cloak.“Go away,” I groaned, curling onto my side.“We need to reach the checkpoint before nightfall.”&nbs

    I woke up screaming.“Nera!”A man's voice called my name. Then hands grabbed my shoulders.rs. I fought them.“No! Let me go!”“Nera!”I swung blindly. Someone caught my wrist.“It's me.”Carlin.His voice cut through everything, causing me to freeze. My eyes focused, taking in the fire, the trees, and the bedroll. I was back at camp.Carlin knelt over me, his hands gripping my shoulders. His hair, still tousled from sleep, framed eyes wid

  • Finding The Cure: An Order Of Love   More than A Nightmare

    The fire had burned down to glowing embers by the time Zeph announced he was leaving us. Of course, he didn't bother easing into the subject.“I'll be going a different way in the morning.”I looked up from where I sat beside Bella. “What?”Zeph continued cleaning his Mages staff as if he hadn't just announced he was abandoning us after everything that had happened. Across the fire,no one looked surprised by his announcement.“You're leaving?” I asked.“Yes.”“Why?”Zeph glanced up. “I have somewhere else I need to be.”

  • Finding The Cure: An Order Of Love   In the Shadows of the Kitchen

    After that tense moment, my father dismissed me with a flick of his hand, ordering me back to my chambers as though I were a disobedient child. Humiliation burned through me hotter than the hearthfires, my fists clenching at my sides as I stormed away, my footsteps snapping against the cold stone f

  • Finding The Cure: An Order Of Love   Sunseekers, Suitors, and Stupidity

    My parents sat at the head of the hall, commanding every gaze. Father’s broad shoulders filled his high-backed chair, Mother’s poise as sharp as any blade. Both wore deep green trimmed with brown. The colors of House Verden, echoing the forests that bound our lands. Father’s gaze pinned me the mome

  • Finding The Cure: An Order Of Love   Three Suitors and a Threat

    The tea room glowed with firelight and polite chatter, silver spoons clinking gently against porcelain cups. Yet despite the warmth, my father’s cold anger clung to me like frost, coiling tighter the longer I lingered at his side. Something gnawed at him beneath that regal composure, and I

  • Finding The Cure: An Order Of Love   The Price of Disobedience

    That was a clear threat. My stomach knotted so tightly I thought I might be sick. The murderous glint in Remier’s eyes almost pinned me in place. Move. I had to move. By the grace of the goddess, my legs obeyed, carrying me down the corridor toward my father’s study.Knock. Knock. Knock“Come in.”
