"For the Acting Luna appointment ceremony. Something—special." "How special are we talking?" Ricky's eyes gleam. "Very." He stands. "I have just the thing. Wait here." He disappears into the back. Rhea leans close. "He seems—enthusiastic." "He's the best. Worth every penny." Ricky returns. Carrying a gown. It's—stunning. Deep blue. Almost black.

‘Can you guess what it is? It smelt warm, aromatic. ‘Something they put in perfume?' ‘Nice try.' He held it to his daughter instead. ‘Take a wild guess, Anou.' With an expression of disgust, she twisted her face away. ‘For heaven’s sake. It’s probably dried camel pee or something.' Obviously steeling himself, he turned back to Claudia. ‘It’s frankincense.' ‘ Frankincense ? A whole sack of it?* ‘They produce it here. It’s the resin of a tree that grows in the south.'

She really hoped they were doing well without her. Taking a step further, the scent of the candle flooded into her nostrils. Frankincense. Zezi took in a deep breath, trying to shut all the peaceful memories that came with that scent away. It was just the one she liked and she didn't want to associate this time with the King of her enemies to anything that would mean so much to her heart, more so in a position light. "What for?"

You will be imprisoned indefinitely. Grandma lit the sweet-smelling incense in the room, lighting five of them and placing them on the incense stick stands that had been pushed aside in the room for many years.

I cannot withdraw my eyes away from his hands. They pulled out a bundle of wood sticks, uh kind of it seemed like chopsticks that he took out with a match box. "These are incense sticks imported from India. Its fragrance can turn you on lol, badly." I chuckled along with him, he burned a dozen of them out of the bundle and the remaining went back in the third drawer of his table.

I was wondering what kind of plants did he prepare. When he came back, he was holding a giant leaf with some plants and spices on it. "Here! Aromas of cedar, wood, amber, musks, oakmoss, sandalwood, patchouli, balsam, and other resins. Since we're passing by the forest, you have to cover your sweet rose petal scent with these earthy smells!" "You know my scent?" I was flabbergasted. I took some of the ambers and rubbed them off my skin. I also covered myself with some oakmoss. I saw Hamil mixing the three spices that were crushed into powder. I could guess they were cinnamon, oregano, and rosemary.

After they were done, the old witch packed up her things and they all went back to the pack house passing by some guards on patrol. The whole house was quiet, the silence announcing its inhabitants to be asleep. The alpha and his mate escorted Briseis to her own room where she stood in front of the door and handed a plant to both Venkat and Ro. "This is Frankincense, mix it with cumin and burn as incense first thing in the morning. It protects against mind control." She instructed. Then she gave them another plant.

Finally, something that they recognized. As they split apart, looking at the various items for sale, Zeek walked around with a purpose. He snagged a hemp satchel, and then he moved over to the dried herbs and took some tansy, acorn, barberry, adder's tongue, dandelion root, camphor, ironweed, and ambergris. Alizeh handed him a bracelet she found that had a pouch with African violet for protection, while Orion put a plastic bag with 25 incense sticks and a burner in Zeek’s hand. He paid the shopkeepers and cruised out the exit. Everyone followed. Zeek stopped in front of a door about three shops down and peered at Alizeh. She was wearing the same clothes she had worn in the woods: baggy cloth

I stared at the bay leaves Eileen had pressed into my palm. “To attract your mate” she counseled. Oh boy! Bay leaves too? She handed me a little bottle of greenish liquid. “What's this for?” I asked, scrutinizing the bottle. “Perfume made with Lavender, patchouli, nutmeg and fennel” She replied. “And why the hell should I wear this?” “To attract love, and your soulmate”
