The Healer's Bond 178. HER DARK SIDE. II
Emma and Terra circled each other slowly, every movement deliberate, like twin predators locked in a silent contest of will and skill. Their eyes never broke contact. The silence between them crackled with unspoken threats and dark history."It won't be like last time," Terra said with a cold smirk, her claws flexing at her sides. "You won't walk away from this."Emma clenched her fists, her breath steady despite the adrenaline storming through her veins. "I never expected this to be easy."The clearing around them darkened as Terra’s entourage—creatures twisted from death and sorcery—emerged from the shadows. Skinless things with gnarled claws and eyeless sockets. Others crawled low on spider-like limbs, their open mouths stretching in silent screams. The smell of decay and demonic corruption oozed from them like a thick fog.Steve stepped forward, baring his teeth at the swarm.“Steve!” Emma barked. “Call on the Berserker. Bring out the war beast!”His eyes widened with hesitation.
The Healer's Bond 177. HER DARK SIDE
Emma and Steve were no longer just running—they were sprinting at full speed, a blur of fur and muscle streaking through the thinning woods. Their powerful limbs pounded the damp soil beneath them, paws leaving deep impressions as the winds of the outskirts howled past. The only sound besides the rush of wind was the rhythm of their breathing and the steady thud of their paws.Steve was trying to connect through the mind link. Marcus, he called out mentally, pushing against the limits of his power. Marcus, if you can hear me... we need help. We're coming from Moon Valley...It was a long shot. Sterling Creek was thousands of miles away, but Steve kept trying, pushing his Alpha aura through the invisible tether that connected him to his pack. His thoughts were laced with urgency, but he kept his pace beside Emma, whose form was tense and coiled like a spring.Emma knew the banished werewolves were gone.She could still hear Nyla's calm, resolute voice in her mind. She could see their e
The Healer's Bond 176. FALL OF THE BANISHED
Emma walked in silence, her boots crunching softly over the coarse terrain of Moon Valley's outskirts. The moon above was thin, its silver light casting stretched shadows between the gnarled trees and jagged rocks that stood like forgotten sentinels of an old, cruel history. Her shoulders were heavy, and her chest ached with a guilt that had festered long before tonight. The Banished moved around her in silence, some exchanging low words among themselves, others glancing at her with unreadable expressions. But none of them showed anger. None of them blamed her. And that only made it worse. These were the followers of the man she had killed. And yet, they were helping her. Her fists clenched at her sides as she felt the suffocating irony press down on her like a weight. It should’ve been her carrying their resentment, their vengeance. Instead, they walked beside her. Protecting her. Guiding her. "You're hurting yourself with that guilt," Nyla said quietly, glancing at Emma from t
The Healer's Bond 175. ESCAPE FROM HOME
The fire roared behind them, a living thing, furious and hungry, consuming the mouth of the valley in its flames. Smoke curled into the night sky, thick and black, painting a twisted tapestry above them as Emma and Steve sprinted into the open air.But they didn’t get far.A sudden blast—a heatwave that tore through the tunnel and burst out like a cannon—hit them mid-stride. Steve grunted as the explosion licked at his back, catching his coat and skin in a vicious flame. Emma turned at the sound, eyes wide.“Steve!”He stumbled but didn’t fall. His shirt had charred along the edges, and angry red burns traced down his arms and neck. Emma skidded to a halt, heart hammering as she looked over him.But Steve stood tall, his breath ragged but steady. And already, before her eyes, the worst of the wounds began to fade. Blisters vanished. Skin knitted itself. His healing factor was doing its job, even if it left him weakened and sore.“I’m sorry,” she whispered, guilt thick in her throat. “
The Healer's Bond 174. THE DEAD DON'T STAY DEAD. II.
Emma ran like hell itself was snapping at her heels.The stale air of the underground valley burned in her lungs, each breath harder than the last. The passage twisted and turned, the walls alive with dampness and decay. Her boots slapped against the uneven floor, echoing off the stone, and somewhere behind them, shadows slithered like serpents.Steve was just ahead, his shoulders tense and broad, moving with the purpose of a soldier and the desperation of a man with something to protect. He glanced back at her, eyes scanning her face for signs of injury, fear, or both.“Emma, stay with me,” he said, his voice gruff but steady.“I’m trying,” she choked out.She was terrified. Not of the dark or the claustrophobic walls that pressed in around them—but of the growing realization that Moon Valley had become something far worse than a graveyard. It was a trap. A tomb with a beating heart.And something inside it was waking.Steve’s voice cut through the tension. “I won’t let any of them t
The Healer's Bond 173. THE DEAD DO NOT STAY DEAD
Emma’s pulse beat like a war drum in her ears, the crushing weight of her mother’s confession still settling in her chest. Everything she thought she knew about her bloodline, her life, her purpose—it had all been carefully, cruelly constructed by Priscilla. And now, the facade had shattered. “I cannot believe you,” Emma said under her breath, pacing the length of the room like a lioness cornered, her hands clenched at her sides. “You believe what suits your emotions,” Priscilla replied, her tone unbothered and eerily composed. “But truth doesn’t bend to feelings, Emma.” Steve stood with his back straight near the entrance, his eyes darting between the two women. His instincts screamed at him—this place was wrong. It reeked of illusion and old magic, secrets buried beneath layers of practiced civility. “You let her grow up in misery,” Steve said, his voice low, steady. “With questions and no answers
