Athena's hands moved with reverence as she gathered the sacred ingredients under the watchful eyes of Rosalind and Cathryn. The moon cast its gentle light upon the silver fern, its delicate fronds swaying softly in the night breeze.

He made it seem like I didnt weigh a thing, even though I knew I was heavy. “Chew on this” he said, handing me a dark green colored leaf with silver veins. I knew I was safe around him, he wouldn’t sabotage our alliance, but I still wasn’t sure I wanted to eat from the hands of a murderer. “Take it” he insisted “Its Silverleaf. It wouldn’t heal you completely, but it will slow down the wolfbanes effect so you can make it out of here” I was too weak to continue to resist, I opened my mouth wide open, and allowed him feed me the leaf.

This was his way of retaliating for the attack. Luca wanted him to snap and attack so he could show his dominance. Youngblood! Anybody else in Luca's place would have his bones decayed by now, but this Grandson of his was too useful to be left to be eaten by pests. Svetlana glanced at the his cane and her hazed mind assessed it, all her fear was evaporating. Shiny things always had that effect on him. The cane was made of silver with intricate rose gold vine-like design with a thumb-size Ruby on top. It ranged from 4cm diameter on the peak to 2cm to the bottom. It was about 40 inches long.

"If you sever the stem in this air, the sap will oxidize and freeze solid within ten seconds.

She knelt at the mouth of the crevice, her fingers steady despite the biting, sub-zero wind howling around her ankles. With absolute, surgical precision, Elena reached into the blue ice. The cold inside the fissure was intense enough to make her breath freeze in her throat, but her hands remained dead still. She clamped the brass tool gently aroun

He waited for me to fill him in. “His name is Cedar.” I looked at him. He looked so scared. “I can’t leave him.” I said. I wouldn’t leave him so scared. Miles nodded his head. He didn't fight with me about it. We made it back to the living room. He motioned for me to sit down. I took a seat on the plush couch and hoisted Cedar to sit beside me. “Master Cadogen says you will be staying with us until the annual Silver Gala. I need to know a few things about you to help the night go easier. First thing, do you have any formal education?” I swallowed hard.

We argued the whole time. “Listen to this one,” he said, scrolling. “Method one: the Silver Thread ritual. Tie a silver thread around both wrists while the moon’s up, say the rejection words three times, then cut the thread. Supposed to snap the bond like a rubber band. Sounds fake as hell but whatever.” I snorted. “Silver thread? Where are we gonna get silver thread at ten in the morning? My mom’s sewing kit? Fine, we’ll try it tonight.

I stared at the bouquet, feeling a little miffed. What a terrible waste it was. Peter had ordered the flowers from overseas. They were Renzene white roses flown all the way from Izania. Each pretty bloom cost him 50 dollars. Sammy was still shrieking, oblivious to the way Peter's expression was turning increasingly grim with each word she spat.

The stems are dried. “Wrong,” I said, stepping up to the table. The entire room went dead silent. Genevieve’s jaw tightened at the sight of me. I pointed to the jagged leaves. “It’s Silverleaf toxin. Look at the veins in the underside—they're pale blue, not white. If you boil it, it doesn't smell like Wolfsbane at all. It smells like sweet almonds.” Morgana’s eyebrows shot up. “And this one, Southern wolf?”

he grins, giving it to me. "Um, thanks, "I say unobtrusively, reviewing the natural product circumspectly. "How would I eat it?" "Oh, "he snickers, "I failed to remember that you wouldn't know how to ."His long eyelashes abruptly shudder adjacent to my eyes as his face develops near mine.
