He came to the woods to find a cure. He found his fate instead.
Alder has one mission: find the rare sparkweed to save his dying grandmother. He knows the local legends—that the forest is haunted, that it hungers, that people who go in rarely come out. But desperation makes men brave, and Alder steps into the trees believing he is the hunter.
He's wrong. With every step, the air grows heavier. His legs turn to lead. His thoughts begin to dissolve into a sweet, terrifying fog. And the predator waiting in the shadows isn't a beast. It's Eden.
She is the guardian of these woods, and her methods are… unconventional. She's watched Alder from the start, admiring his determination, waiting for the poison to take hold. Eden doesn't mind that he’s struggling. She doesn't mind that he’s scared. In fact, she prefers it. Because once the fog clears, he'll belong to her.
She Doesn't Mind is a darker monster romance short story (approx. 5k words). It features a dominant female monster who isn't afraid to take exactly what she wants—and neither is he.
