GINGER:

An antioxidant, ginger can be used fresh, dried, powdered or as an oil. It's one of the everyday ingredients in Indian cuisine and is considered to have incredible medicinal properties that helps flight common cold, aids digestion and reduces nausea.

The enzymes in ginger break up the gasses that form in the intestinal tract during thus improving digestion. Small quantities of ginger can also alleviate morning sickness. It also helps in significantly reducing menstrual pain.

Ginger tea made from fresh ginger and hot water may not be everyone's cup of tea but it does ease headaches and migraines due to its pain-relieving properties.

CHAPTER 29 – CHOICE


Lysander sighed in his seat when Minerva slammed the car door and rushed inside most likely to complain to her mother about his lack of interest in rescuing Cyane.

It wasn't that he lacked interest, Lysander thought uncomfortably. It was just that after talking to Roderick, Lysander had realised that he couldn't help Cyane. No one really could! There was no cure for her because she wasn't sick! She was suffering from a childhood trauma that Lysander knew no child should go through.

What happened to Cyane and her family was very, very wrong. Innocent lives killed all because of those creatures who were only created to wipe out the Zeke bloodline.

In the past, Lysander admitted regretfully that his family had messed up in more ways than one. But the greatest mistake Zeke had ever done was hurting the witch Georgia. Her curse, the one she had made in pain, had destroyed everything that had been built before! Her curse had made their family name worthless and her curse had torn the Zeke family apart.

The moment he stepped out of the car, his wolf tensed uneasily and Lysander looked around for he felt like someone was watching him. His wolf sniffed the air but couldn't easily catch any scent. He growled lowly in warning but then sighed when he saw a hare running away into the bushes.

When he stepped inside the house, after dismissing the others, as expected he found Minerva sobbing and complaining to her mother who was hugging her soothingly.

The uneasy feeling was still there and he expected to feel better with Yolanda's presence, sadly it wasn't so and that confused him. Her scent, her mere presence always calmed his wolf but today his wolf was behaving oddly strange. He continued to sniff the air and be alert.

"Lysander, what is she talking about? What happened?" Yolanda asked with a confused frown.

"Nothing happened!" Minerva cried in outrage. "We could have followed them and stopped them while they were on the way to Nest but Papa refused."

"Do you think Cyane would have come back with us?" Lysander asked with a frown. "He is her mate."

"But he is a bad person. Cyane has to know what he is like" Minerva protested.

"Don't even for a second consider Cyane as stupid. By now she must know a lot of things about Xanthos, yet, she chose to be him. He will come first to her over everything, even her family whom she refuses to return to" Lysander rebuked sharply. "If anyone should be more concerned about Cyane, it's them! As I said, I will wait for Cyane to call us and after that, I will call her grandpa."
