A weary fortune-telling witch approaches after a birthing in the Highlands, prodding Anice to confront a guarded prophecy. The witch warns that the realm will endure centuries’ worst times and that Anice’s mate will not be easy, but that she will be the essential “key” linking families and uniting the clans, testing her courage and attitude.","ANICE The Cursed Clan  \nMELISSA SCHROEDER  \nEdited by NOEL VARNER  \nIllustrated by SCOTT CARPENTER  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nTo all the Cursed Clan fans.

It was late, later  \nthan a lass like her should be out, but she didn’t care. Her brother and her cousins could galivant all over the countryside at all hours of the day or night, but her following suit was frowned upon. She was sick of playing by the rules.  \nSo, there she lay, the soft grass beneath her body and the entire sky above her. She couldn’t fight the pull of the night. It always seemed to grab hold of her, especially when the moon was full. She could stare up at it for hours, waiting. For what, she had no idea, but anticipation always seemed to grow during this time of the month.  \nA twig snapped, and Anice stilled. She did as her cousin Callum had taught her and listened. More rustling. Not the wind and definitely bigger than most of the nocturnal animals in the area. Her instinct told her to run as fast as she could, but a voice stopped her.  \n“Lady Anice, do not fret,” an older, weary voice called out to her. When the person came into view, Anice recognized her. The witch who told fortunes and saved lives.  \n“I wasn’t fretting,” she lied.“What are you doing out and about this late?”  \n“I could ask the same of you, but I know why you are here.” She sighed.“Frederica had a baby tonight and I attended the birthing.”  \nShe nodded but said nothing else. Anice wanted to ask the woman more, to know everything about her future, but she controlled the urge…barely.  \n“I should get home before I am missed,” she said, brushing the grass and twigs from her plaid.“Good eve.”  \nShe took three steps before the witch called out to her,“Don’t you want to know your future, Lady Anice?”  \nAnice hated the fact that she did. More than anything in the world right now. She turned to face the witch.“I doona think that is a good idea.”  \n“Why is that?”  \n“Knowing what has been foretold might hinder my true nature.”  \nThere was a long pause, then the witch threw back her head and cackled.  \n“Stop that,” Anice said, trying to ignore how embarrassed she was. “I said, stop it.”  \nThe witch finally calmed herself.“Please, do not take offense, my lady.
