Shattered Vows, Silent Fire Embers Between Us
The forest bathed in hues of silver and blue as the moonlight filtered through the tall pine trees. Ashara walked quietly with the four boys, her arms wrapped loosely around herself—not because she was cold, but because she was trying to slow the racing beat of her heart.They walked side by side, the path crackling gently beneath their feet. Zev stayed closest to her, just a step ahead, always glancing back to ensure she was okay. Ashara smiled every time his gaze flickered to her—quick, soft, protective.She liked him. That part was easy to admit to herself. But liking someone and understanding why your chest tightens around them were two different things. She pushed that thought away, focused instead on the pine-scented air, the night so quiet it felt enchanted.“You really like the woods, don’t you?” Zev asked gently, catching her gaze as they reached a bend in the path.Ashara turned her face up to the moonlight. “I love it,” she whispered. “It’s like something out of a dream. An
Shattered Vows, Silent Fire The Edge of the Woods
The Edge of the WoodsThe sun had just begun its descent when Ashara stepped out onto the porch, the cool air of the woods brushing gently against her face. The pine-scented breeze rustled her hair, and the golden-orange sky stretched endlessly above, streaked with clouds like brushstrokes on a canvas. Birds chirped softly, and distant leaves crackled beneath the feet of forest animals unseen. The world felt wide, uncontained—and for the first time in days, she felt free enough to ask.“Dad,” she said quietly, stepping into the cabin’s main room where Kael was talking with Ronan and Eli. “I was wondering… can I explore a little?”Kael turned to her, surprised but calm. “Explore?”She offered a hopeful smile. “Just nearby. Around the cabin. I won’t go far, I promise.”His expression faltered for the briefest second. Kael’s instincts twitched, the weight of old treaties and ancient dangers looming at the edge of his thoughts. He’d spent nineteen years keeping her protected—first in the
Shattered Vows, Silent Fire Into the Woods
The path through the forest curled like a secret, flanked by towering pines and bathed in dappled sunlight that spilled from the heavens in slanted beams. Ashara sat in the passenger seat of her father’s Jeep, her fingers brushing along the windowpane as trees blurred by. A light breeze toyed with a few strands of her dark hair, and though her face held the calm of curiosity, her heart danced with questions. For the first time, Kael was taking her somewhere real—into his world.“Are they close to you?” she asked softly, breaking the long silence.Kael glanced at her with a half-smile. “They’re my brothers. Not by blood, but closer than that in some ways.”Ashara blinked. “You’ve never introduced me to anyone from your past before.”Kael’s grip on the steering wheel tightened, but his voice remained even. “There’s a lot about my past that isn’t… easy to explain. But you deserve to know the people who matter.”As the Jeep turned off the main road and down a rugged dirt trail, a beautifu
Shattered Vows, Silent Fire The Morning of Shadows and Light
The golden light of dawn streamed through the thick canopy of ancient trees, casting flickering shadows across the tall glass windows of the mansion buried deep in the heart of the forest. A veil of mist still clung to the roots and brambles outside, but within the stone-and-wood walls of the Ardent Estate, Kael was already pacing the marble-floored kitchen.He had rolled up the sleeves of his black shirt, the crisp fabric wrinkled now as he whisked eggs with more force than necessary. The rich scent of cinnamon and vanilla filled the air—Ashara’s favorite.Today was her birthday.Her nineteenth.But the memory of the night before still lingered heavily on his mind. The way she had looked at him when he denied her the one thing she’d begged for. The soft tremble in her voice as she asked why. The silence that followed when he gave her no answer.Kael flipped the pancakes with precision, his mind racing. He glanced at the chair by the fireplace where her mother once used to sit, holdin
Shattered Vows, Silent Fire The Border of Fire and Blood
Ashara was no longer the quiet girl from the woods.At nineteen, she had grown into her beauty like the slow bloom of a midnight rose—sharp-jawed, long-limbed, with eyes that no longer dulled themselves for anyone’s comfort. The silver in them no longer shimmered with wonder but burned with longing. Yet even now, even after all these years, she remained caged in a place that pretended to be home.The forest still loomed outside her window. The mansion still creaked in the quiet hours of the night. And Kael—her father, her protector, her wall—had only grown colder.She stormed into the drawing room, her boots clacking against the polished floor, college acceptance letter clenched in her fist like a declaration of war.“I got in,” she said.Kael didn’t look up from the fireplace.“Westerdale University. Full scholarship. Literature and journalism.”Still, he said nothing. Only tossed another log into the fire, the flames crackling louder than his silence.Ashara exhaled. “It’s everythin
Shattered Vows, Silent Fire Daughter of the Flame!
The townspeople of Graymoor called her the girl from the woods.She was too pale, too quiet, too strange for their liking. Ashara Anderson had grown used to the stares. She kept her head low, her books clutched tightly to her chest, her steps fast as she made her way from school to the jungle-shrouded road that led to her house.Except it wasn’t really a house.It was a stone mansion nestled deep in the forest, wrapped in vines and mystery, perched at the edge of Graymoor like a secret carved into the trees. No one dared venture too close—not even the boldest of teenagers. There were rumors, whispers of wolves howling on windless nights, lights flickering in the attic, and strange sigils burned into the bark of trees nearby.But to Ashara, it was simply home.A lonely one.A quiet one.⸻Ashara at Sixteen: Innocent, Isolated, IgnoredAt sixteen, Ashara was all limbs and softness—tall, delicate, with long midnight-brown hair that curled like smoke and eyes a shade of silver too sharp t
