Aromatic Love

Deep within a forest where bizarre and aggressive creatures have begun to appear, Bonita Ember, a skilled pharmacist, enlists the help of a mercenary. Ivan—stoic, striking, and more than a little intimidating—agrees to escort her while she collects rare medicinal herbs.

At first, the job goes off without a hitch. The forest, though tense, stays quiet. But out of nowhere, a pack of wild dogs charges at them.

Panicked, Bonita reacts on instinct—snatching the nearest herb and lobbing it straight at Ivan.

Only… it’s not just any herb.
