CAS SANDRA

“Oh, Cas sandra, that’s amazing!” Becky exclaimed as she entered the clinic.

My assistant’s already large eyes grew even wider as she shut the door and peered around the

building. She had just returned from her holiday and it was officially our moving day.

“Isn’t it?” I remarked as I carefully set down a pile of boxes. Once they were on the ground, I wiped the

dust off of my hands and walked over to her. “It’s great to see you, Becky. How were your days off?”

“They were great,” Becky said with a small smile. “I always feel so much pressure working in the

palace, but I was able to catch up on some rest and I’m feeling much better.”

Sure enough, the color had returned to her cheeks and her dark eyes were no longer underscored with

dark circles. Her dark red hair was nice and neat, and I noticed she was wearing a light touch of

makeup. Becky looked great, and I was glad to see that she was in such good spirits.

“I understand completely,” I said, and then I lowered my voice slightly. “Between you and me… I feel

relieved to be away from the palace. Its much quieter

here.”

“Definitely,” Becky agreed. “Now, will you show me around?”

I grinned. “Of course. Right this way.”

I happily gave my assistant a small tour of our new clinic. Ihough our equipment was still in the process

of being moved over, we had made great progress in setting things up. There was no shortage of cots

and examination tables, and they were all arranged behind thick fabric curtains ti t could be drawn for

necessary privacy. Along the warm cream-colored walls were shelves and

1/5

places for storage, and there were multiple stations that would allow Becky and I to clean up and

operate efficiently.

It was impressive that this had all come together so quickly, and that we’d managed to get a place set

up that was not only professional but comforting. All of the colors here were warm and inviting, whereas

in Merliscire, everything was harsh and sterile. I wanted to make sure that my patients would feel at

ease here, and I had no doubt in my mind that it was an easily reachable goal.

As we walked around, I couldn’t help but feel a wave of relief. Adalyn and Margaret had been rather

silent these days and hadn’t attempted anything further.

I I that I was finally moving from the palace, I felt like I could breathe without

No

worry.

When Becky and I returned to the reception area, Erika walked through the door, holding a box.

“Where should I place this, Cas sandra?” she asked.

“That can go to the second floor,” I replied. Erika nodded and then smiled warmly at Becky before

heading up the stairs. The maid was followed by a young girl, the new maid Asher had sent named

Hannah. The girl was incredibly petite, with pretty dark skin and a mass of gorgeous black curls. Her

dark eyes peeked at us shyly, but she managed to give us a small smile as she passed by. She was a

quiet girl, but she seemed very kind. I looked forward to getting to know her further.

Just as the maids disappeared up the stairs, there was a knock on the door, and then a familiar voice.

“I hope I’m not disturbing you.”

In walked Kane Collins, who greeted us with a brilliant smile. Asher’s handsome tepbrother was

followed by several se rvants holding elaborately wrapped gift

oxes.

“I’m here on behalf of my very busy brother,” Kane continued. “Who is unfortunately tied up at the

moment? I do hope I’m not interruping.”

“Not at all,” I said warmly. “It’s great to see you. Come with me, we can speak in the meeting room.”

“Wonderful,” he said.

I escorted him to the meeting room just down the hall, and invited him to take a seat on one of the

plush white couches. As he got comfortable, I prepared some tea for us. Erika and Hannah were far too

busy tidying up, so I had no problem with making it myself.

Once it was ready, I set a cup down on the coffee table for Kane and then sat down on the chair

opposite the couch.

“Thank you for this,” Kane remarked after he took a sip of tea. “This is exactly what I needed. It’s chilly

out there.”

“It sure is,” I agreed. “And it’s no problem at all. Besides, it’s the least I could do after all that you’ve

done for us. I haven’t had the chance to thank you for helping Erika and me last week-.”

“It’s no trouble at all,” he insisted. “It was the right thing to do. I’m sorry for my mother’s actions. I hope

Erika is alright.”

“She’s fine,” I replied. “She recovered very quickly and her wounds are all but

gone.”

“Good,” Kane said, and then he glanced around the room. “Ashe wished to come here in person but he

was busy today. He decided to send Marco to the primary school and have him take classes with the

other kids. If you would like to do the same for Finnick, I would be glad to help you with the enrollment.

The school will accept children who are at least five years old.”

At first, I wanted to turn down the idea, but then I remembered Finnick had said e was lonely here in

Anemond and wished to make more funds. He would be Lurning six soon, and he had no friends aside

from Dominic.

Of course, children in Anemond were mostly from upper fan lies. I would be worried that Finnick might

feel out of place with them.

“I’ll think about it,” I said. “Thank you for offering.”

Kane nodded. “Of course.”

We fell into silence as we sipped at our tea and then Kane cleared his throat.

“Asher is also busy preparing for the upcoming celebration to welcome Silas next week,” he said

casually. “You should be receiving an invitation soon, as all members with a title will be invited. As one

of the royal healers, that includes you.”

It took all of my effort to keep from widening my eyes.

Silas Moses… the son of Oliver Moses.

“Silas has just finished inspecting all of the warriors stationed out at the borders,” Kane continued

before I could say a word. “He’s also quelled several riots. Pack members will be excited to see their

hero back in Anemond.”

A lump formed in my throat. That respect and duty should have belonged to my brother Ector.

Kane stared at me for a moment and as his violet eyes flicked over me, I wondered if my expression

was betraying my thoughts. I didn’t want to slip up, but the anger I felt toward the Moses family knew

no bounds. I hated them all so much, and knowing that a celebration was being made in Silas’ honor

when it should have been for my brother… it only made things worse.

Still, I smiled anyway.

“That sounds wonderful,” I said simply. “I look forward to seeing such a hero.”

It took all of my effort to stay calm, and for a moment, I thought Kane would see ght through it, but he

just smiled back.

“It will be a great evening,” he remarked, and then he set his teacup down on the table and stood.

“Now, I hate to leave so soon, but I have some other business to attend to.”
