53. Horrific Discoveries

Emma pulled on white rubber gloves that snapped against her wrists and secured a mask over her nose and mouth, not for her protection but to maintain what sterility she could under the circumstances. Her hands moved with automatic efficiency as she inserted an IV into the rogue's forearm—a task made difficult by the dense muscle and twisted anatomy—and started a continuous drip of sedatives.

Steve positioned himself at the head of the table, his powerful frame tense with anticipation and concern. His eyes never left Emma's face, reading every microexpression for signs of distress or discovery. Despite the conflict between them over the stolen research, his protective instincts remained undiminished.

Emma took a deep breath to center herself befo

  "I guess we both have something in common," Sophia said to the ugly monster. "I lost twice to Emma too." "You lived to tell the tale," Irsi replied. "I would not call what I am living," Sophia said with a shrug. The two women shuddered and Sophia noticed it. "They are almost drained of their memories, yet, I still hunger." Irsi whispered. "Perhaps, you can help me." "You want me to lure some humans here," Sophia stated. "Yes, in return I will tell you a secret." Irsi said in desperation. "I am not some fool you can send on an errand because of some bedtime story." Sophia scoffed. "It is not a bed time story, it's a warning," Irsi said. Sophia shrugged. "The world is already fucked, what more damage can be done to it?" "You are a bleak one," Irsi commented. "And you eat memories, do not judge me," Sophia retorted dryly. "I have no desire to die, wraith! I must get to Emma!" Irsi whispered in desperation. "Why?" Sophia asked. "She burned me with a fire that never dies, re

• The Healer's Bond    258. DROWNED

  "Open your eyes, do not close them again," Priscillia said as she closely watched Adam struggle to remain still.The Matron of Moon Valley Healing Academy was wet between her legs as she watched the god of the dark in human form squirm from having his cock sucked hard by two of her most depraved nymphs.She was struggling to keep calm herself because she had linked her mind to Adam's, so she was feeling all the things he was going through.Priscillia had secretly taken over his mind. When Adam had pleaded for the voices in his head to stop, she had shut the doors of his psychic walls but had casted a binding spell as she did so.It was why Adam was doing everything she said without question. Even if he wanted to refuse, he could not.Priscillia was also feeling the effects of Terra's lust pheromones. The Matron wanted to secretly dissect the Succubus and find out how she functioned.Maybe she would.The sound of mouths sucking on a cock echoed through the large dinner hall as Terra dr

  Sophia scavenged all she could from the ghost village. She found better and warmer clothes, boots and a thick cloak with a hood that covered her face from the heavy falling snow.It was night fall before she finally left the village. She was more comfortable in the dark. She trudged on through the snow and the only company that she had was the voice that kept taunting her. The voice that called her an abomination."You could have made a deal for me too, you know." The voice complained. Sophia surpressed an annoyed sigh as she walked. "You got all these powers where you get to cheat death while I am stuck here in the fucking dark.""You experimented on me!" Sophia finally snapped, her voice was stifled by the thick snow. "You took away my ability to fucking mate!""I wanted to make you better!" The voice said."Then take a good look at me!" Sophia thundered. "Do I look better to you!?"The voice made no reply. "I can't feel shit!" Sophia said in a stifled rage. "And do not blame me for

• The Healer's Bond    256. IN HIS BODY AND MIND.

  "Is there a point to all this?" Adam said as soon as he found his voice."Yes, darling," Priscillia said as she took another bite from her apple. The three naked nymphs stood obediently behind Priscillia and their presence made Adam very nervous."There is great power locked in this body and mind of yours and we need to unlock it," Terra replied.The response made no sense to him and the more he wracked his brain to give him a sensible answer the more confused he got."And you need them to do it?" Adam asked as he nervously glanced at the nymphs who kept looking at him like he was dinner."Well, they are part of the experiment and we are not even sure if it will work," Priscillia replied."But that's part of the fun," Terra said with an almost deranged smile on her face.Adam gulped as he looked from the Succubus to the woman he had had history with and her clearly aroused group of nymphs.His stomach grumbled loudly and he was reminded that he had not had any food for a while. His mo

  She had lost count of how many villages she had passed. She had lost count of the miles she had walked. She felt no fear, not anymore, and she she was not tired in any way.The snow almost reached her knees as she walked on. For the first time in a long journey, Sophia finally had somewhere to go. Although she was sure that no one was going to welcome her with open hands.Not after all she had done to this world. Still, she moved on. The wind blew coldly against her skin but she did not feel it. A human would have dropped dead from the cold alon. No one could survive here.Still, she moved on. Her destination was Sterling Creek and she was curious as to how Emma would react when they eventually met."She is going to kill you," A voice said to her as she walked. She rolled her eyes and shook her head slightly but said nothing."After all the things you did to her and to this world, she is not going to accept you with open arms," The voice continued.Sophia walked on without a word."S

• The Healer's Bond    254. A Season of Thaw

  The first morning after the fall of the Frost Sovereign arrived in quiet layers—sunlight dripping like honey over the thawing pines, golden birdsong tentatively filling the air like a tentative apology. Emma stood on the veranda of the old Council House, bundled in a light fur coat, her breath forming harmless clouds in the crisp but warming air. For the first time in weeks, she could feel the warmth on her skin—not the internal fire of her Ember Heart, but real, true warmth from the sky.Sterling Creek was healing.The war was over.But recovery was a different kind of battle.Beneath her, the pack grounds buzzed with motion—children laughing as they splashed in muddy puddles, warriors dragging broken beams from damaged homes, and the scent of baking bread drifting out from makeshift ovens. She could hear the low creak of wooden wheels as carts loaded with supplies rattled past. Not long ago, this entire valley had been encased in ice.Emma’s gaze drifted toward the place where the H
