The Stolen Relic/Byerly B
Clarissa Muscles ached as Clarissa pushed herself forward. Her breath came so fast and hard that her chest hurt. She couldn’t slow or risk being caught. Clarissa had been running from Stefan’s crazed hunt for a while. But she hadn’t seen him behind her since the beginning. Not knowing filled her with dread. She didn’t know where he was, what he was doing, or what he wanted. Maybe she lost him. The thought allowed her to slow to catch her breath. A cramp formed in her calf, and she cried out. In that moment of distraction, she felt his stone arms wrapping around her in the same hold he had been teaching her t

The Stolen Relic/Byerly B
Clarissa By the time dinner was over, the stars twinkled brightly in the indigo sky. The cool night air carried the fragrance of flowers and fire. Clarissa sat against a tree, closing her eyes and allowing the magic stream to graze her mind gently. Blake was occupying her thoughts. She found herself missing him again, daydreaming of his return. But with how she treated him, she doubted he would appear anytime soon. Her mother would expect her to wed Stefan when they returned from this trip, and Clarissa didn’t know if she had the heart to turn her down. She had already lost so much. Clarissa’s disobedience would break her

Clarissa “Now, close your eyes,” Centra whispered headily. “Focus on the sensation, the desire to extract the pendant.” When Clarissa’s eyes closed, Centra murmured in the ancient language. Clarissa’s palm tingled and grew warm. Without Clarissa’s guidance, the stream of magic changed the direction of its flow. It swirled through the air as the scarlet and ebony colors diverged artistically, creating their own path. The other colors flowed on wrapped among each other. Slowly the ends of the scarlet and ebony strings moved downward. Soon it poured powerfully into her hand. The immense

Clarissa The sweet smell of cooking meat awakened Clarissa as the sun beat down blindingly. Stefan sat at the crackling fire, preparing a deer that Stefan had not caught before she went to bed. But the deer was now skinned, butchered, and almost done roasting. Centra sat on the other side of the fire, watching Stefan, who did not seem even vaguely aware of either of them. “Did you sleep at all?” Clarissa questioned with a yawn. “I asked the same thing,” Centra said amusedly. “But he didn’t answer. With the lack of sleep and the magic he used to dry the meat, I will be surpri

The Stolen Relic/Byerly B
Clarissa As much as Clarissa wanted to enjoy the scenery as she rode alone today, Stefan’s strange and rude behavior was too much. Her thoughts were stuck on him. She did not realize how much his gargoyle form affected him nor that he should have already turned back. Is that why he left the camp last night? Was he searching for a way to turn back? Intuition told her it was not the entire story. But she had nothing to fill in the blanks. She cared about him and did not like seeing him so wound up. Clarissa genuinely missed the old Stefan, that would joke and mock her as they went through their everyday tasks. His volatile moodiness made him appallingly unpredictable and hard to be around. She was just being compassionate this morning when he blew

The Stolen Relic/Byerly B
Clarissa Clarissa didn’t feel like napping, as she sat alone in the dark cave. Stefan’s abrupt departure left her struggling to make sense of this morning. He was under a lot of pressure to make sure the deal with the werecats went well. But he handled stress well, at least until this morning. So his sudden agitation confused her. When he yelled in her face, she decided not to let his attitude interfere with rescuing her mother. But she relied on him. He knew what they were walking into and having him by her side bolstered her courage. Clarissa didn’t want the journey to end either but that was no reason for a complete personality switch. If it was because of Blake, she would have seen the chang

The Stolen Relic/Byerly B
Clarissa Stefan wrapped his arms around Clarissa after his short command. In the next moment, they were rising above the trees. She screamed and clung to his neck for dear life. The ground beneath them threatened a short, tragic stop with an even shorter trip to the afterlife if she let go. “You didn’t warn me!” She scolded against the rushing air as it beat back her voice. He grunted but was focused on where they were headed. Slowly the fear gave way, and the beauty of night woods overwhelmed her. This was why flying improved his mood. She smiled as her grip relaxed around him. Clarissa scanned the world, taking in every exquis

The Stolen Relic/Byerly B
Clarissa Clarissa was a bundle of open nerves as Stefan landed outside their cave. The storm inside of her raged intensely, making it impossible to think clearly. She was awakened, aroused in a way she never knew existed. Every hair on her body stood on end, and she longed to be touched. But Stefan left her alone in that clearing, her guardian abandoned her, and she didn’t understand why. Did he not feel the same way? Had he not shown immense interest in her since he first rescued her? Maybe she misunderstood, and there was another reason for the mad rush back to camp. She took advantage of his steadying touch when he placed her on the ground—stepping into him as she had below the canopy. The close

The Stolen Relic/Byerly B
Clarissa Clarissa determinedly hurried to the werecat city where her lonely mother waited for her. She did not know what to expect because the only werecats she met were the ones that she accidentally killed at the farm back home. So when she saw the tall wooden pikes that ominously stretched from one side of the gap in the mountain to the other, intimidation slowed her pace. She couldn’t see what was on the other side of the barricade wall, but the sound of a bustling city carried to her, which was unnerving because she had never been to a city before, not even a human one. This entire adventure had been a new experience, but she had Stefan or Blake with her until now. She walked slowly forward, staring up at the pointed ends of the pikes with large eyes. The world was enormou

The Stolen Relic/Byerly B
Clarissa During the first half of the meal, the werecats and Stefan regaled her with werecat ways. They explained how all life was precious, so they did not kill animals to eat unless it was vitally necessary. Their food and clothing mostly came from ardent gardening. There was a special ceremony to release the plant’s life energy back to the magic stream.Earlier that day, Clarissa discovered by herself the sacred connections, but she listened with curiosity. Stefan beamed proudly as he spoke his approval. But Clarissa’s sad mother sat at the back corner of the table with her head down and tears on her cheeks.She wanted to know what they did to her. Her mother was always so full of li
