CORIANDER:

One thing that needs to be constantly in hand for me is coriander. I love making coriander chutney a lot! It has a lot of benefits than being a simple garnishing veggie. It is rich in immune-boosting antioxidants and helps fight infection.

Coriander seeds promote healthy digestion. Mixing grounded coriander seeds with milk helps in reducing abdominal pain and discomfort occurring during periods. It's best to start drinking this a week before your periods.

For skin, coriander makes a great exfoliator. It gets rid of dead skin and blackheads and also reduces wrinkles. Due to its antifungal and detoxifier abilities, coriander is used to treat skin issues like dermatitis and eczema.

CHAPTER 31 - GAMES

As she walked in between the trees in the skin of the other guy, she had seen with Lachlan yesterday, Cyane had a sinking feeling that she messed up.

When Xanthos had woken up surprisingly early in the morning, Cyane had woken up too but had pretended to be asleep until she had seen him jumping out of the window and shifting into his wolf.

She was aware that he had gone for his morning run and at first had decided to go back to sleep, but eventually gave up because she had been curious and unable to resist herself from trespassing into Ash's compound.

Cyane knew she could take them down with a fight but that was not why she was here. She just wanted to take a look inside the mansion and see if Gideon was in there. She swore to herself that she wouldn't meddle in anything else.

From what she had noticed so far, she had realized that Ash took his security very, very seriously for there were cameras, barbed wires, electric wires, alarms everywhere.

By flying over them, she had managed to get past them and was now marching towards the main building. When she heard a rustle of leaves, she paused in her tracks and looked around.

There wasn't anyone around and she couldn't catch any scent but her heart wouldn't stop hammering in her chest. Maybe it was because she was feeling guilty for trespassing or maybe it was because she was nervous. Whatever the case, Cyane decided that she wouldn't give up.

Sighing, she continued on her path and frowned when she saw another camera and sensor on the branch of a walnut tree. She decided then that if caught, she would tell them she came to steal the walnut fruit.

For that purpose alone, she bent down and collected a couple of dried fruits and pocketed them.

As she continued on her path, the uneasy feeling of being watched just wouldn't go away and Cyane sighed because she couldn't fool herself anymore. They knew she was here.

She had expected this to happen one way or the other. As she heard footsteps approaching, she stopped in her tracks and waited for the inevitable.
