The Healer's Bond 170. ILLUSION
Emma walked cautiously, each step sinking slightly into the damp path that twisted deeper into the forest. The air shimmered around her, pulsing with something ancient and unnatural. Beside her, Steve said nothing, though his body was taut with readiness, his eyes darting to every shadow. The mist ahead thickened until it was nearly blinding. Then, without warning, it parted. He stood there. Her breath caught in her throat. The man before her was tall, broad-shouldered, and almost impossibly beautiful. Midnight black hair spilled across his shoulders like waves of liquid ink. His jawline was sharp enough to cut stone, his skin pale and smooth, untouched by age or sun. But it was his eyes that held her — not because of their beauty, but because of what lurked within. Midnight black. Cold. Bottomless. They swallowed the light around them, pulling at h
The Healer's Bond 169. THE GATES OF THE VALLEY
The world felt colder as they ran. Emma's grey wolf paws barely made a sound against the moss and dirt, but her heart thundered. Every breath she took carried the scent of mist, damp earth, and something older — a magic so deep it clung to her fur like frost. Steve ran ahead, his midnight black coat cutting through the trees like a shadow in motion. Behind them, the clash of centaur and minotaur steel echoed through the valley, brutal and desperate. The roar that had signaled the ambush still rang in Emma's ears. But they couldn’t look back. They bounded over fallen trunks and leapt through the brush, the forest narrowing until the trees formed an arch above them. Emma’s muscles burned, her healing still incomplete, but her instincts pushed her forward. Something was calling her. She didn’t know whether it was her bloodline, her father’s curse, or simply fate — but it was undeniable. They reached a
The Healer's Bond 168. A DANGEROUS WAY HOME II
The horn’s echo faded into the trees, replaced by a loaded silence that pressed heavy against Emma’s chest. The centaurs held their weapons steady, their eyes scanning the shadows beyond the ridge. Emma didn’t dare move, even as her heart thudded violently in her wolf chest.Then the leader of the centaurs lowered his spear.“You are fortunate,” he said in that gravelled tone. “That horn was not for you.”Steve snarled beside her but held his ground. The leader turned to him and nodded with solemn authority. “You’re safe. For now. Come—follow us. There is much you need to understand.”Emma hesitated, then dipped her head in silent agreement. She and Steve trotted after the centaur patrol, who moved with practiced precision through the forest trails, keeping their formation tight. When they reached a narrow clearing beneath the thick canopy of pines, the leader raised his hand and brought them to a halt.“We can speak freely here.”Emma and Steve shifted simultaneously.Bones popped, f
The Healer's Bond 167. A DANGEROUS WAY HOME
Pain had faded into a dull ache, then into something almost imperceptible—like the ghost of a memory lingering behind her ribs. Emma lay in the ash-streaked grass beside the broken helicopter wreckage, her breathing slow and steady, her senses sharpening with every minute that passed. The gash along her arm had already begun to close. Torn flesh stitched itself back together with silent resolve, muscles knitting beneath her skin as her blood worked its ancient magic. The swelling in her leg had receded, the bones aligning and locking in place like puzzle pieces finding their way home. Nearby, Steve grunted as his shoulder snapped into its socket with a sickening pop. His face contorted with pain for only a heartbeat before it eased. His chest rose and fell steadily, bare skin streaked with drying blood and ash. “Wolves,” he muttered, his voice rough. “Built like nightmares, heal like miracles.” Emma
The Healer's Bond 166. The Mirror of Bone
There was no light.Only the hush of emptiness, vast and consuming.Emma floated in the darkness, weightless, untethered. She couldn’t feel her limbs. She couldn’t even remember her body—just the faint sensation of movement, like she was drifting down an invisible river that moved without water or banks.Then a whisper echoed through the black.“You should not have come.”Emma’s breath hitched—or it would have, if she were still breathing. The voice was not human. It wasn’t angry, but it carried an ancient weight, as though it had been speaking since before the first Pack howled at the moon.“Who are you?” she asked, though her voice was nothing but thought.The darkness did not answer.Instead, a vision opened before her—a shimmer in the void, like a mirror rising from a bottomless sea. It stood tall and twisted, its frame carved from bone so white it glowed. Emma had seen it before, in fragments of memory and magic, in Alexander’s cryptic warnings, and in the writings she had barely
The Healer's Bond 165. Return to Moon Valley II
The rhythmic hum of the rotors echoed through the metal shell of the helicopter, a steady thrum that filled the cabin like a heartbeat. From her seat beside Steve, Emma stared out the small window, watching the world blur beneath them as they cut through the sky toward Moon Valley. Clouds shifted like torn parchment above the distant mountains, and the wind occasionally jostled the aircraft with invisible fingers.She had always thought of the sky as a place of peace—open, endless, free. But now, thousands of feet above a crumbling world, her chest was tight with unease.Steve’s hand moved from the control stick briefly, brushing hers. “You’ve gone quiet,” he said, his voice calm but not without concern. “What’s going on in that head of yours?”Emma gave a slow blink, then turned from the window. The expression on her face made it clear she wasn’t in the mood for pretending. “I’m wondering if I’m ready for whatever she’s going to tell me.”Steve arched a brow but kept his eyes trained
