“Your lord and lady are dead!” Remier’s voice thundered over the gathered servants and mercenaries. “Bring me my bride, and you may live. Refuse, and you will all share their fate!”

My breath stuttered. The world tilted. For one impossible moment, I thought if I just stood still, time would stop and undo what I had seen and heard. But Artair’s hand gripped my arm, pulling me back “We have to move. Now! We can’t let him see us.” I swallowed the grief down like poison and ran with Artair to find

  • Finding The Cure: An Order Of Love   Half-Elf, Fully Drunk

    "Easy, love."I froze, then closed my eyes. Of course, I thought. When I opened them again, Zin grinned at me."You're out late.""So are you." I pointed out."Yes, but I'm an assassin."I stared at her. "And that means?""I keep unusual hours.""That explains absolutely nothing." I rolled my eyes."It explains most things about me."She released my shoulders, but her eyes immediately traveled past me. Toward the direction Zeph had gone. Her eyebrows lifted.I knew that look. "Don't."

  • Finding The Cure: An Order Of Love   Broody Under The Moon Light

    The rest of dinner passed by in a blur. I forced myself to eat, not wanting Carlin to have a reason to hover, especially after he'd already seen me collapse from forgetting to eat before. He was already protective, and now, with everything that had happened, I knew he'd be even more so. However, the knowledge that I *needed* to eat and the *desire* to eat were two very different things. I listlessly pushed a piece of food around my plate with my fork. Suddenly, someone spoke across the table, but I couldn't even register what they said. Ev let out a laugh, and then Zin said something that elicited a mutter from Carlin that sounded suspiciously like a threat.Normally, I would have listened and probably contributed. However, tonight their voices blurred together, becoming little more than noise. The word "elf" kept circling through my thoughts. My fingers drifted toward my ear before I caught myself a

    I looked at my hands. They were trembling so badly that the spoon rattled against the table.“My whole life is built around something they took from me.”Carlin leaned closer, lowering his voice even though everyone at the table was already listening.“It only matters because it matters to you,” he said. “It matters because someone lied to you. It matters because they hurt you and taught you to hide part of yourself.” His gaze flicked toward my exposed ears. “But it doesn’t change who you are.”My throat tightened. “You didn’t know what I was ten minutes ago.”“I knew exactly what you were.” Carlin said with a crooked grin

    “I think you’re half-elf.”The words struck the table like a dropped blade. Before I could decide whether to laugh, argue, or admit that some terrible part of me already believed him, Ev slammed her cup down. Water jumped over the rim.“Zeph there is a time and place for such an announcement.” Ev SnappedZeph turned toward her. “The timing is irrelevant.”“The timing is absolutely relevant.” Ev bit back.7“Would the truth be different if I waited until morning?” Zeph countered“No, but perhaps Nera would prefer not to have her entire identity torn apart while holding a spoon.”

    For a moment, only the crackling hearth and the scrape of spoons filled the silence. Zin drained the last of her drink.“So,” she said, “how did this collection of suspiciously attractive disasters meet?”“Sir Garret,” Ev answered.Zin looked around the table. “All of you?”“More or less,” Carlin said.“Sir Garret saved my mother and I when I was small. She helped him before she passed,” Ev explained. “He discovered I was good at listening where people forgot I could hear them.”“You spied for him,” I said.“I gathered useful inf

  • Finding The Cure: An Order Of Love   Bread Thieves and Blushing Seekers

    The camp's dining hall, occupying most of the squat stone building, featured two long tables stretching across the room beneath wooden rafters darkened by years of smoke. Bowls, cups, and mismatched spoons covered nearly every available surface, and the air carried the scent of roasted onions, fresh bread, and a thick stew bubbling in an iron pot near the hearth.My stomach twisted hard enough to remind me that I’d eaten almost nothing since morning.Ev had claimed a place near the fire. Zeph sat across from her, his back to the wall and his attention divided between the room’s two exits. Zin occupied the bench beside him, though the space between them suggested Zeph had been steadily moving away from her.When Zin saw us, her eyes first scanned my borrowed shirt before shifting to Carlin, her smile wide

    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   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.”

  • 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
